Are they powerful enough to fill a room 14' x 17'? I would like to use them for screening movies in my sunroom.

I have been using these for the same purpose in the same size room. They work well for this as long as there isn't a lot of additional sound going on around you. My big room is the shared family room next to the kitchen, so sink, dishwasher, and stove fan can be quite loud. I'm switching to a soundbar with subwoofer instead for almost the same cost.

Basic answer is, yes, they would fill the room certainly, but for screening movies I would get something that includes a sub-woofer as the bass component on these is pretty weak.

Yes, they are easily. They will even plug into most current model TV's for that theather type sound

Absolutely! I used this last summer for outdoor movies during the evening projecting on just the light color siding of the house. The picture was great over 12' maybe 15 feet. This year I purchased a 12' screen but set it up once. I was able to make the image small or beyond the 12' for a good video. I now use this daily in my master bedroom projector which is about 70". Even during the day indoors it is still good.

These could very well work for that. This comes with a 150W flood bulb that will provide a lot of light coverage at that distance at a decent brightness. These lights are usually used in multiple sets to make more light or have colors in front of each to provide color effects on the same area. If you were unhappy with how wide it is, and you would not like to move it, try going to Home Depot in looking for a halogen Par38 bulb that is 90W and a spot, not a flood, coverage. This will give you a much narrower beam and more brightness at that distance in a much smaller area (less overall light, but more of it in a smaller place). Ultimately, the black metal part is just a bulb holder and a cord set to plug it in, and all of the lighting brightness and how narrow or wide it is is dependent on the bulb, which can be easily swapped out since it uses a standard size lightbulb thread. Just like buying a room lamp at a store, how the light acts is all about the bulb. The casing on this bulb is black and has a gel frame spot to suggest more of a usage for performance and entertainment. But at this price, it doesn't hurt to try one and see what you think. I happen to use these at one of the performance space I oversee. They use a set of 8 of these units, with the 90W bulbs that are spots, with 4 on either side of the room pointed across the stage evenly - the throw distance being 15-25'. They are hooked up to a dimmer panel for entertainment that can be controlled by an entertainment lighting console. This is a very cheap option to get started and go from here.

For home they might be too big unless you have a spacious room. These will fit a pop-rock band application. but you'll need subs to compliment them.

If you're asking if these subs will fill a room with sound then the answer is yes!! they will work best in a small to medium size room..Not sure of "continuos power. look up "specs". You won't need to turn the volume up on these past halfway!!

My room is 15 X 30 Feet, will these work well for home theatre use? I don't listen to music much

If being used as the main source of light I would say no. They would be perfect for extra light above your desk but I wouldn't be happy with 2 of these as the main lighting source.

I use these in my theatre. You dont want them to be overpowering. With what you listed as your mains, I would personally go with these.

This projector is not a good quality projector. Perhaps, it's good for its size. But I would only use for temporary solution or for convenience, like when you travel and you don't want to carry a large projector. If you intend to use a projector for watching movies regularly at home, then I suggest you get a higher quality projector.

Dim lights. It works fine in my living room, circa 150 square feet, with one 100-watt bulb. The image was barely visible in my Sunday school classroom with a ceiling full of flourescent lights on. I had to turn the lights off and let the room just be lit by light coming in the windows. So no, I don't recommend it for use in a brightly-lit room. This projector appears to be intended to watch movies with lights out or dim more than to make business/classroom presentations. It's usable if you can dim the lights or turn them off, but not ideal.

I typically use mine for indoor music and gaming. I also installed 4 of them in a small church ( seating for around 120 people) and everyone there really likes them. They used them with a projector to watch movies as well.

they would probably serve for a small space, I use mine for surround speakers and they work great for that.

I have used this same projector outdoors to watch movies on a 6 foot screen. ON a large screen I don't think this will work well. It is very bright but not bright enough for that sort of distance or width. I think you would be better off with a projector designed for movie projection.

Yes they do well but they better used as monitors than mains. I have 4 and use them for concerts and church services. As far as the quality they are great.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: I would say you'll be surprised how powerful they are. If I stand 12 feet away, at full power it's hard to keep my eyes open, as each single LED is focused. Of course it depends on your camera settings and shooting preferences, but I believe not only is it unlikely that you'll even be able to use them at full power at that distance, but you would need diffusers/bouncers/umbrellas to soften any shadows. I assumed as much and bought two Polaroid 320 as additional fill lights.

I found that this projector was very much brighter than others I have used. I didn't try it in a well lit classroom, so I can't say for sure about your situation but if you have a good reflective screen I think it should be good. At least it is the best I have seen.

They are small. I use them in my study and they are quite suitable for what I needed. If I needed something for a large room, like a family room, I would have gotten something much bigger.
