Re: Video projector suitable for outdoor useI think a hard part is going to be the enclosure. I have a number of 5000 lumen projectors installed in ~24 ft^3 cabinets. Even with them being in a 70 degree F auditorium with 2x 4" muffin fans and vents the interior of the cabinets gets HOT! Dust builds up in the cabinets and clogs the filters. If the cabinet has glass in front of the lens it can knock your overall light output down a bit. The humid salt air is going to be rough on it too. The heat from the projector should help burn off the moisture, but I think you still may have problems. I would guesstimate a life expectancy of 2-3 years before you are looking at replacement assuming continuous use. I would probably do a bunch of smaller distributed LCD tv's in enclosures on ceiling mounts. At least that distributes your possible points of failure so you don't lose all of your video if one display dies. The Weatherproofed LED panel is probably the best option.
