DL2 getting brighter?

Just curious where the DL2 is headed brightness wise. I have seen the Christie website and it seems that they have no new models that match the specifications of the LX55. Is this as bright as it gets for the while or is there going to be anything newer or brighter in the near future?

Also, has there been any real discussions about the amount of fan noise it produces? Trying very hard to incorporate them in to the feature film world. So far these are the top reasons they are getting cancelled from orders.

Thanks,

    Well sooner or later a newer/better projector will come along and then the DL.3 or something will have to be developed....I think the LX-55 is what we're looking at for a while yet. There is already the LX-650 which is 6500 lumens, bu the lamp loads from the side rather than the rear, so this poses a problem as an upgrade to DL.2 without re-engineering the whole head.

    A DL.1 might be slightly quieter than a DL.2, but you will run into problems with repeatable positions if you Collage them, especially if you have longer throws due to the difference in Pan/Tilt resolution.

    The best way to make sure that the noise from a DL.2 is reduced as much as possible is to clean all the foam pre-filters and put in a new HEPA. As the filter clogs the fans have to work harder to maintain proper airflow. The ammount of cool air circulating around the unit will also make a difference in fan speed.

    If you need brighter, then go with a Christie Roadster with an Orbital Head and an AXON.
