Mostly just that you are trying to compare them. There is very little to
compare otherwise. The LED you speak of is a string of LEDs in some
package. The lamp in a projector creates a point source of light. The
day they make a point source LED with 1500 lumens is the day you will
see them in full-sized projectors.

They do make projectors with LEDs but they only have enough light for
small displays.
