Natural light, and even artificial light, aren't dealbreakers with 3D on a projector. They wash the image out, of course, but the tech can still work with some of them present. Although IMHO a movie should be watched in an environment with minimum light.
My active 3D glasses have gone through many episodes and films on a single charge. I did have a pair run out of power the other week during a film, but swapping in a spare pair only took a few seconds.
At $12 to $20+ a piece, active glasses are significantly more expensive than passive glasses. For a movie theater that has thousands of patrons that matters, but for a home audience I'm not sure it does. Anyone who can afford passive 3D projection can afford dozens of active 3D glasses. It seems to me that 3DTV owners don't need to buy that many glasses as only a few people can watch a 3DTV at the same time.

If you have a lot of people, family(kids and grown ups) and/or friends, in a party or something like that that you want to show a great 3D movie... you think that with an projector/TV you'd be able to do it with those active glasses? Have to explain them to sync and some having inverted signal and to correct? Having all that hassle that the 3D experience would be good? Let's say, some 12 to 20 people, would you be able to project the movie to them all with glasses and not being most of the first minutes giving instructions so the glasses would be working normally? Would that be a good 3D experience? Some out of the picture and others having to be instructed about the use of the tech to watch a movie with the possibility of 1 pair or two not working?
I have 16 pair of glasses and i just paid for 1 pair, the rest was LG offers with the TV and a pair that the theater offered me. Even if i needed more it would be inexpensive and easy to get. And they would have just to put them on and watch, that really simple move.

And with light in the room? And your skin reflecting the light of the room and movie because of the intensity? Maybe you're mixing subjects... when i say that i lower the tv power to 10% i'm saying that the tv is so bright that i need it to be on that level to have an good experience like if i was in a cinema room even without the same conditions(black room and no lights) and you with your projector must have your settings that match the needs to work with your glasses that compared to passive glasses don't let so much light to pass and possible match with my TV intensity or close.
Like i said. People need standardization on 3D and passive 3D is a game winner. Maybe one day we'll have the autostereoscopic TV/projection to replace the glasses but until then the passive 3D is the most successful way to watch 3D for most of the consumers if we want the format to survive.
