🔍 Expert Analysis on LED Screen
Since you work in signage and LED installations, this breakdown will help you understand LED screens both technically and commercially.
1️⃣ Types of LED Screens
✅ Indoor LED Screens
Pixel pitch: P1.2 – P4
High resolution, close viewing distance
Used for churches, events, conference halls, malls
✅ Outdoor LED Screens
Pixel pitch: P4 – P10
Waterproof (IP65 front)
High brightness for sunlight visibility
Used for billboards, stadiums, roadside adverts
2️⃣ Key Technical Factors to Consider
🔹 Pixel Pitch (Most Important)
Lower pitch = clearer image = more expensive
Example:
P2.5 → Premium clarity
P5 → Good for outdoor advertising
P10 → Budget roadside billboard
👉 For Ibadan roadside advertising, P5 or P8 is commercially strong.
🔹 Brightness (Nits)
Indoor: 800–1500 nits
Outdoor: 5000–8000 nits
High brightness = better daytime visibility.
🔹 Refresh Rate
1920Hz (standard)
3840Hz (premium, no camera flicker)
If your clients record videos often (church, event centers), go for 3840Hz.
🔹 Cabinet Material
Iron cabinet (strong but heavy)
Die-cast aluminum (lighter, better heat control)
For permanent outdoor billboard → strong iron structure with proper anti-rust treatment.
🔹 Power Consumption
Average: 300–800W per square meter
Must calculate generator/inverter capacity properly.
If you're installing for fuel stations or roadside adverts, always overspec power by 20%.
3️⃣ Installation & Structural Considerations
Since you handle fabrication:
Use thick galvanized iron for frame
Ensure wind load calculation for tall pylon
Proper earthing to avoid lightning damage
Install cooling ventilation system
For Nigeria weather conditions, waterproof sealing is critical.
