Glossary

Power Consumption

Power Consumption refers to the amount of electrical energy an LED screen uses during operation, typically measured in watts per square metre (W/m²). Indoor LED screens generally consume 100–300W/m², while outdoor screens, requiring higher brightness, range from 300–700W/m². Choosing an energy-efficient LED display helps reduce running costs, especially with rising UK electricity prices.

MicroLED

MicroLED technology delivers exceptional brightness, contrast, and color accuracy by using microscopic LEDs as individual light sources, enabling true blacks and vibrant colors without the need for backlighting. Its modular and scalable nature allows for custom-sized displays with ultra-thin designs, making it ideal for various applications, from consumer electronics to large-scale installations. Additionally, MicroLED offers unmatched energy efficiency, a long lifespan, and resistance to burn-in, ensuring high durability and low maintenance over time.

Pixel pitch

Pixel pitch refers to the distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels, typically measured in millimeters, and directly impacts the display's resolution and viewing distance. A smaller pixel pitch means higher pixel density, resulting in sharper image quality and better viewing experiences, especially at closer distances. The main benefits include improved visual clarity, seamless integration for large-scale displays, and suitability for applications like digital signage and professional presentations where detail and precision are critical.

FAQ's

What are the power consumption costs associated with indoor and outdoor LED screens?

Advancements in LED technology have improved energy efficiency, potentially reducing operational costs over time. The power consumption of LED screens varies based on factors such as size, brightness, and usage environment. Indoor LED Screens typically consume between 100 to 300 watts per square meter. Outdoor LED screens, due to higher brightness requirements, generally consume between 300 to 700 watts per square meter. A 10 m² indoor screen running at 2 kW for 10 hours daily would consume 20 kWh per day, costing approximately £5 daily, or £1,800 annually. A 10 m² outdoor screen operating at 5 kW for 10 hours daily would consume 50 kWh per day, resulting in a daily cost of about £12, or £4,530 annually. Electricity prices are subject to change, so it’s advisable to consult current rates for precise budgeting.

How bright should an LED screen be for indoor and outdoor use?

Indoor screens typically range from 500 to 1,500 nits, providing excellent visibility without overwhelming brightness. Outdoor screens require higher brightness levels (5,000-10,000 nits) to remain clear in direct sunlight. We’ll help you choose the right brightness level for your specific location in the UK.

What resolution should I choose for my LED screen?

The ideal resolution depends on the viewing distance. For close-up indoor displays, high resolutions like P2.5 or P3 are best for sharp visuals. For outdoor screens viewed from a distance, P4 to P10 resolutions provide excellent clarity while being more cost-effective. We can advise on the best resolution for your application.
