how is it going to work in a classroom that is not so dark?

I have used the projector in classrooms of approximately 10x8 meters and everytime I have not darkened the room completely the results were very satisfactory.The brightness of the projector is perfect for a class or a conference.I have used it to project movies from a laptop (HDMI port) and to use power point slides from a Surface tablet (using both VGA and HDMI modes) and I am very satisfied with my M115HD

I should work just fine. The new lights on it work amazingly well even during daytime. I do recommend it. The fan is a bit noisy though at full power but most projectors are noisy as well. I really discourage you to consider any brookstone mini projectors. They are expensive and have less power.

In a room with some sunlight, the dark scenes in a movie will not be visible. I always use it in a dark room.

You need a dark room for the best picture. When I had this projector I tended to only use it at night.

We have used this projector in small and larger rooms and it works good to fair respectivly. The rooms are ususally not very dark.

The room can be lit, however, the picture quality will not be nearly as high as when the lights are off. Partial lighting will not hinder the quality. I normally have a few lamps on in the room I use it in and the picture looks fine.

It's considered "dusk-to-dawn" due to that's when it would operate when set outside. It would work indoors at any time. I'm even tempted to buy more for the closets I keep forgetting to turn switches off :-)

You should plug it in and turn off the lights from the lamps in the room and close the windows at day. It lights up in darkness only. If it's day and you have natural light across a window for example, it won't work because it lights only in the obscurity. The most obscurity, the most light. Beside that, it should work, if not maybe there is a problem. We haven't used it yet constantly, we only used it in Christmas day to see if it worked and how it works because it was a gift for our son, and he hasn't put it still in his bedroom. Hope this help you.

In a completely dark room, it provides enough light to read by. The brightness is not adjustable.

The light is not too bright. You can also turn off light and just use therma-cell

If this is your only light source it may be to dark.I have other lights in the room.

If one person is studying, I think one lamp would be fine. However, if more than one person will be trying to use the table, then two lights would probably be a much better solution. My sense is that one light works very well over a 2 to 3 foot wide area in front of the lamp.

Regardless of the time of day it comes on when it's dark. So if you have a room without windows the light will illuminate. However I bought two of these and after only three months of use one no longer works. I hope this information helps!

Probably do to the ambient light or the florescent lights in your classroom

Usually you go to 12 hours lights on to 12 off. Keep the room completely dark during the lights off hours.

The room has to be very dark. No lights outside lights should be no problem if you use a translucent curtain or shade. The light needs to be facing the shade so it can iliuminate the shade. Timer is ok if you leave the switch in the always in position.

Yes. It is sensitive enoigh to pick up people talking and should work fine. The background noise it reads at is around 35. A classroom that's quiet would be around 45. 75 and they are talking too much.
