Outdoor LED Display: The Best Advertisement on Glass

Removing glass to install an outdoor LED display is a project involving structure, safety, drainage, lightning protection, approval and other aspects. The following are the issues you need to pay special attention to before, during and after construction, which can be used to explain to customers or construction parties.

Precautions for Removing Glass to Install Outdoor LED Display:

1. Structural safety related
2. Load-bearing structure assessment
   The original glass curtain wall may not be designed to carry heavy equipment.
   Professional structural engineers are required to assess the load-bearing capacity of the wall, or add steel structure brackets.
3. Install a steel structure frame
   It is usually necessary to install a galvanized steel frame to fix the outdoor LED display to ensure wind resistance and stability.
   It should comply with local building wind resistance specifications (such as resistance to 8~10 winds).
4. Whether the drilling or demolition of the building affects the main structure
   Pay special attention to whether the glass curtain wall keel and beam are load-bearing or decorative components, and the demolition must not damage the original safety structure.

Power and Wiring Safety

1. Power supply assessment
   Outdoor LED screens have high power (such as 4m x 3m P6 screens of about 3~5kW), and require independent power distribution circuits.
   Leakage protectors, air switches, lightning arresters, etc. need to be installed.
2. Wiring method
   Strong power (220V/380V) and weak power (control signal lines) should be laid separately, using waterproof protective tubes.
   All cables need to be waterproof and sun-proof.
3. Grounding system
   The screen and steel structure must have a good grounding system, with a grounding resistance of < 10Ω.

Protection Design of Outdoor LED Display

1. Waterproof and dustproof level
   LED cabinets, modules, power supplies, and control systems must all reach IP65 protection level.
   The back and top structures must be equipped with drainage holes or rain covers.
2. Ventilation and heat dissipation
   LEDs generate significant heat during operation in hot weather, so fan/ventilation window design must be considered.
   Optional intelligent temperature control system. 3. Lightning protection
   Install lightning rods and SPD lightning arresters to protect the system.

Maintenance design

1. Front maintenance or rear maintenance
   If there is no space behind the outdoor LED display, you need to choose a front maintenance box or magnetic module for easy maintenance.
   Leave enough access for maintenance.
2. Modular design for easy replacement
   Use standard modules for power supplies, modules, cards, etc., which will reduce the cost of later maintenance.

Approval and compliance

1. Urban management approval
   Some cities require reporting or applying for permission for outdoor advertising screens and exterior wall renovations (especially commercial complexes or public buildings).
   Some areas have clear requirements for screen brightness and time period playback.
2. Environmental protection and light pollution regulations
   Equipped with automatic brightness adjustment to avoid disturbing people at night.
   Comply with relevant laws and regulations on energy conservation and emission reduction.

Other suggestions

1. Take photos or videos for archiving, and record the progress before and after construction to facilitate customer acceptance or future maintenance.
2. Issue CAD installation drawings and structural drawings for review by customers or property management.
3. Control system training: provide customers with simple control system training.

Removing glass and refitting LED outdoor screens is a very effective way to upgrade visuals, but it is necessary to pay attention to multiple aspects such as structure, electricity, protection, safety, and approval. It is recommended that a professional team conduct overall planning.

If you need, I can help you prepare:
