I think it's something that is probably doable but nobody's done it. There are one or two youtube clips that show some DIY attempts but it's almost impossible to film the screen with an iPhone. So it's virtually impossible to make a qualitative judgement.
Theoretically, if LED delivers something like 4x the Lumens at the same wattage, why not? I know the beam must be focusesd through the gate, but LEDs on automobiles have lenses that deliver the beam of light right where it needs to go.
First car I owned with LED it was shocking to see how focussed the beam was. Like a straight horizontal line where the LED projector lens inside the front headlamp assembly cuts off the beam.
So we know LED can be directed or focussed. Is it just a matter of precise miniaturization of the elements required for small gauge film gates?
My thinking is that this may require some sort of sophisticated array of LEDS to get the desired result, and that may be why drop-in replacements for projectors aren't available like drop-in replacements for household incandescent bulbs.
Has anyone here tried it, or known of any attempts to make this happen?
