Is it even possible to estimate "lumens" from the catalog information?
 
You can use this table to get an approximate conversion from candelas to lumens. Find your LED beam width in degrees, and divide the candelas number in your specs by the cd/lm factor listed for that beam angle to get lumens.
 
<br>
 
beam angle cd/lm<br>
 
beam angle = 5 divide candela value by 167.22<br>
 
beam angle = 10 divide candela value by 41.82<br>
 
beam angle = 15 divide candela value by 18.60<br>
 
beam angle = 20 divide candela value by 10.48<br>
 
beam angle = 25 divide candela value by 6.71<br>
 
beam angle = 30 divide candela value by 4.67<br>
 
beam angle = 35 divide candela value by 3.44<br>
 
beam angle = 40 divide candela value by 2.64<br>
 
beam angle = 45 divide candela value by 2.09<br>
 
 
Hope this helps.....Dr. Andrew Thomas...

The Orbital Rendersphere displays images and videos on a four-foot diameter spherical surface using persistence of vision (POV).
 
Uses a (stationary) Mac Mini to render each frame, and a (spinning) BeagleBone Black to update the LEDs.
 
Slip ring for power; Wi-Fi to transfer data.
 
The Orbital Rendersphere displays video at 30 frames per second by spinning four vertical LED strips spaced 90 degrees apart at 450 RPM.
 
36 feet of WS80211 LED strips.
 
''(But it looks like 2 complete circles, each 4 ft diameter -- isn't that closer to 25 feet?)''
 
102x224 pixel resolution.
 
Several people comment that this is the biggest POV globe they've ever seen.
 
It's mentioned on p. 1-44 of

Has standard VGA input; a Xilinx FPGA and a bunch of support chips convert to circular coordinates. Power through slip rings. Data through non-contact inductive transfer (recycled VCR head).

"we recently decided to move this project to the Raspberry Pi board away from Arduino.
 
The capabilities and processing power of the Pi are much greater than Arduino.
 
... [but] ... the refresh rate is too slow, much slower then the Arduino was.
 
We need some help figuring out how to turn up the SPI speed with our current software arrangement.

The PC generates arbitrary bitmap, sends it out the serial port to a PIC, which translates it to I2C bus connected to all the MAX6953 LED drivers, which update the image at a continuous frame rate of 30fps.

It might be nice to make a [[spinning electronic]]s page to describe the many weird and wonderful ways that people (a) get power to the spinning electronics, and (b) transmit data to and from the spinning electronics.
 
POV displays are the most popular kind of spinning electronics,
 
but the same approaches are useful for other kinds of spinning electronics
 
such as run-time tire pressure sensors and [http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/12704/electrified-vertical-mounted-rotary-joint-questions bioreactors].
