  1. Hi Peter, Ok thanks for your input, it's much appreciated. Cheers, Thomas.
  2. Hi, I commissioned an install of a new LED video wall at our venue, which was completed yesterday. I'm just looking for some advice from people who know better than me about LED than me regarding a couple of issues I've experienced: One of the modules in the bottom right shows a slightly different white to the rest of them. The rightmost 2 cabinets are about 1mm lower than the rest, meaning they're not level and you can see the join when the wall is viewed at any angle other than directly straight on. I haven't yet signed off on the work and I've raised the module uniformity issue with the company. Is the alignment issue also important? My understanding was that there should be no misalignment between the cabinets and they should be exactly level so that the surface appears as one unit. Thanks!
  3. Cool thanks guys. As you say it seems like the salty air is kind of a separate issue to the IP rating and water getting into the enclosure. I've spoken to a couple of technicians who suggested possible solutions for the 'breathing' effect etc. but it seems like it would be more a case of preventative maintenance once the installation is complete. And thanks for the recommendations dje, I'll give them a look for sure!
  4. Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out by giving me some advice speccing an LED video wall for use outside our venue, as I've been getting some conflicting advice from dealers. Basically due to the location (we're based in Shetland) the screen is going to be exposed to high winds and salty air - on the one hand I've been told not to get a screen with resolution smaller than say P8 as the smaller components will be liable to corrosion due to the salty atmosphere, and on the other I've also been told that as long as the enclosure is IP65 rated then the pixel pitch can be as high-definition as we like (P3.9, P6 etc.). The screen will be replacing one that failed earlier this year due to general corrosion of the enclosure and unavailability of spare parts (it was 8+ years old). The old screen had pixel pitch of P12 and was 4m (W) x 2m (H) in size and mounted on the wall above the venue's main entrance about 4m off the ground (to the bottom edge). If anyone's able to give me some impartial advice I'd really appreciate it!
  5. Hi, I'm looking for some advice - I'm planning to buy some new moving head gobo fixtures for our venue. Due to our location (we're all the way up in Shetland) it's not cost-effective to get anything sent up to demo. I was thinking to buy either Prolights' Luma 700s or the Luma 1500s - our main colour wash comes from 6 x Prolights Diamond 19s supplemented by 8 x Diamond 7s (normally set up on the floor or on poles). I would be happy to go for the smaller Luma 700s, however my concern is whether they'll cut it in terms of brightness - if they're not going to be punchy enough I would just buy fewer of the more powerful fixtures. If anyone has used these before and could give me any advice it would be much appreciated! Thanks, Thomas.
