Electric Meters
LED lights typically range from about 1650K at the warmest to about 6000K at the coolest. A CCT of 1800K to 2700K is generally desirable for a warm glow. A CCT of 4500K or lower usually looks crisp white, whereas a CCT of above 4500K or 5000K typically looks cooler white to blue. A traditional incandescent bulb typically has a relatively low CCT of around 2700K — this light is agreeably soft and warm. Bright white sunlight has a CCT of closer to 5500K.
Outdoor Led
To work reliably for many years, outdoor electronics need to be engineered to
handle all sorts of extreme weather conditions, as well as man-made threats from
pollution to vandalism.
These outdoor electronics are housed in “cabinets” — units about the size of a
suitcase — that are stacked, tiled and connected to create large displays. Those
cabinets typically have Ingress Protection (IP) ratings of IP55 or higher to
prevent damage from rain, snow, ice and wind-blown dust and pollutants.
Engineering also factors in protecting against risks like lightning strikes —
particularly with outdoor digital marketing displays mounted on pedestals high
above roadways.
Indoor Led
Unlike outdoor LED, the current dominant technology for indoors is Surface
Mounted Diodes (SMD) — LED light “packages” that have become progressively
smaller than DIP.
Tiny SMD light packages have enabled indoor displays to have pixel pitches as
low as 0.8 mm — creating displays that deliver crisp visuals rivaling those of
LCD and QLED displays, even from less than 10 feet away.
Emerging technologies like microLED — seen in Samsung’s The Wall series for
businesses and homes — use light chips even smaller than those available from
SMD. The lights are so tiny that they’re measured in microns, and they can be
precision-placed on deep black mounting plates, offering extremely high
contrast. Great contrast, using that deep black, is a key measure of any great
display.
While indoor LED displays don’t need to be engineered against weather
conditions, they have their own operating challenges. Outdoor displays are
usually well out of the public’s reach, but indoor displays mounted in stores,
arenas and public walkways are at steady risk of suffering bumps, scratches or
spills. The tiny SMD light packages are micro-soldered to their modules, making
them highly susceptible to damage.
