Why TruLite
Engineered for rooms that stay in service
Superior image quality
TruLite projectors use advanced laser technology to produce incredibly sharp and detailed images. With a wide color gamut and high dynamic range support, every model delivers a truly cinematic experience that holds its calibration for the life of the light engine.
Unmatched brightness
From 5,800 to 10,000 lumens, a TruLite holds a clear, saturated image in rooms you cannot fully darken. The same projector that anchors a blacked-out cinema will still read across a glass-walled boardroom at midday.
Long-lasting performance
A laser light source has no lamp to replace, no consumable to budget for and no colour drift to recalibrate around. The TL15 and TL21 are rated at 100,000 hours: eight hours a day, five days a week, that is forty-eight years before the engine reaches half brightness.
Versatile applications
One optical platform, three output tiers. A 0.8 short-throw ratio means the same mount position works for a 60-inch briefing screen or a 400-inch feature wall, without a specialist lens.
Comparison
TL11 vs TL15 vs TL21
The three models share a chassis philosophy, a 0.8 throw ratio and a 25 dB acoustic target. They separate on light output, contrast and how large an image they will hold.

Technology
What laser projection actually changes
A laser light source is not a brighter lamp. It removes the consumable, holds its colour point over the life of the engine, and reaches full output the moment it is switched on.
Native 8K UHD across the range
Every TruLite resolves a true 8K UHD grid. At normal seating distance the pixel structure disappears entirely, which is what lets a 300-inch image stay readable from three metres away instead of dissolving into a screen door.
Short throw as standard
A 0.8:1 ratio places the lens closer to the screen than the image is wide. In practice that means no ceiling run down the length of the room, no presenter walking through the beam, and a shorter cable path.
Acoustically invisible
Twenty-five decibels is quieter than a library. In a conference room the projector disappears behind the ventilation; in a cinema it never competes with a quiet dialogue scene.
Calibrated for daylight rooms
A 9,000 K light source keeps whites neutral under fluorescent and LED ambient light instead of drifting warm, which is what makes charts and spreadsheets legible rather than merely visible.
Ambient light
What the lumens actually buy you
Brightness only means something once you know how much light is already in the room. Move the slider and see what each model holds on screen as the room lights come up.

Screen luminance = lumens / (screen area x pi), assuming a 1.0 gain matte screen. In-room contrast = (projector + ambient) / ambient. Illustrative, and deliberately conservative: a higher gain or an ALR screen improves every row.
Installation
Work out your throw distance
All three models use a 0.8:1 throw ratio, so the lens sits at eight tenths of the image width from the screen. Pick a model, drag the slider, and the plan view redraws to scale.
