Uniview LED AQUILA series is an excellent example of fixed outdoor LED screen for advertising applications, with great impact and visible even from far away. But it’s difficult to keep this type of technology running? Let’s see it by taking the Uniview AQUILA models as a paradigm.
An advertising LED display, in fact, is a great way to reach potential customers and introduce services or products, or at least… stimulate the curiosity of passers-by! More and more companies are deciding to invest in advertising on LED screens, proof of the fact that this is a booming market. But what are the steps required to ensure the long-term efficient operation of an advertising LED display?
How long does an advertising LED display last?
Let’s start from the more technical and universally useful aspect of this article, starting with a general consideration: the duration of an advertising LED display varies from product to product and depends on the frequency of periodic maintenance to which the product is subjected. On average, a typical LED display has a life span of approximately 80.000 to 120.000 hours under optimal operating conditions. Under harsher environmental conditions, there can be significant reductions in the life of the LED. The most important aspect, however, is that proper maintenance allows for uninterrupted operation for a very long time. The lifespan of LED displays, in fact, is influenced by several factors.
Let’s see the main ones:
- Consumption due to use: an unavoidable factor, which careful maintenance can reduce but not eliminate;
- Temperature: the LED display is equipped with a heat dissipation mechanism, but the operating temperature must not exceed the threshold limit, otherwise damage to the equipment may occur;
- Water: humidity greatly affects the operation of an LED display, if rainwater seeps through the micro-cracks, it can damage the display;
- Environmental conditions: situations such as wind, rain, snow, humidity, UV rays etc. affect the lifespan of LED displays.
How to maintain an LED display?
The set of “rules” on which the effective maintenance of this type of product is based is not difficult. First of all, the periodic inspection of internal components such as LED diodes, connecting cables, video and graphics cards, controllers, metal structures, etc., is very important to ensure the correct long-term functioning of an advertising LED display. Furthermore, it’s essential to maintain a stable and continuous power supply for the LED display. Sudden surges and power cuts can damage it.
It’s also necessary to keep the LED screen away from water, iron dust and other electrically conductive metal objects, all of which are very damaging to the operation of a screen; this is why choosing a product with IP65 protection is essential to prevent these elements from coming into contact with internal components and causing malfunctions. Finally, it’s highly advisable to regularly clean the surface of the LEDs and the screen, since the dirt that settles on them worsens the graphics of the image and damages, in the long run, the components of the display. To clean the LED, you can use a non-abrasive detergent solution such as isopropyl alcohol diluted with distilled water. The most recommended type of cloth is microfiber.
Very important rule: always rely on well-built products
All existing maintenance procedures cannot put you away from damage when the product is of poor quality. Exhibo has chosen to distribute the Uniview LED brand because, beyond the wide choice of solutions for LED screens offered, this brand also guarantees a highly qualified team constantly dedicated to the manufacturing of high quality products. With more than ten years of experience, a team of thirty engineers in the design field and a philosophy that leads the company to prefer the quality side of the products, Uniview LED is a very solid choice that guarantees – with the correct maintenance – long duration and sure impact in advertising communication.
AQUILA series by Uniview LED
Let’s come to the ideal technology proposal for the advertising business, as well as the “model” of our maintenance suggestions. Today we focus on the AQUILA Series, which summarizes all the characteristics of the “classic” DooH LEDwall product and whose models can be seen frequently in supermarkets and shopping centers, but also along highways and in open spaces.
The AQ series by Uniview LED is characterized by four available cabinet sizes, up to 1m x 1m, which allow even very large installations to be made at low cost. The brightness up to 10.000 nit, the easy front and rear access for maintenance procedures on modules and power boxes, the LED pitch from 4mm to 10mm and the possibility of creating 90° angles make the AQUILA series a very complete and flexible for many different applications.
