The brightness of this projector is right for my needs. I would not characterize it as "ultra" brilliant, but I'd say it's pretty light for its size. If you want something super bright consider looking into a projector that uses LEDs CREE (as this article: CREE XML T6 LED Headlamp headlight torch + 2000lm Waterproof Design). Remember, if you increase the brightness, you decrease battery life; so make sure you choose a projector that suits your needs, not just the one who is crazy for fun light from brilliant crazy.
