8000 lumens ANSI
As a technician, I am puzzled by the suggested changed word order, though I have not the time to check out the validity of the suggested references...
As far as I am aware, the video projector's brightness is being specified in lumens (which is an international standard unit of measurement), and normally the 'ANSI' would be appended AFTERWARDS to indicate that the method used for measuring followed some American National Standards Insitute standard. It's a bit like rating an audio amplifier 35 W (DIN) implying 'to the DIN standard'.
Unless this is a peculiarly US usage, I can see no technical reason for changing the word order from that used in the original; just putting ANSI in caps, as it is of course an acronym.
