Your 'total light' argument holds only in a system with condensers and field lenses, but not when a diffuser is in play.

[snip]

More total Watts of light power are needed to produce the same brightness of a larger diffuser. More than 4 LEDs will be needed to make a MF viewer as bright as the twin 35mm viewer.


I think I understand now. Thanks.

So Tom Hubin's LED/condensor lighting
idea could work for MF but you'd pay
the price for bigger condenser lenses
etc.
