Brightness is measured in lumens and for home cinema projectors brightness typically ranges from 700 - 2000 lumens, with most of them between 900 and 1200 lumens. The important thing to remember here is that brightness is not king when it comes to home cinema - to get a real "cinema feel" you should really look at how you can reduce ambient light hitting the screen before you consider brightness as a criteria in your projector purchase.
