Alas, I'm talking about it! Want to create a whale-shaped large screen for the mall to attract customers? Or should I customize a mountain contour screen for the scenic spot to play with some new tricks? Did you find a reliable one after spending three days of Taobao and Dong? Don't worry! I'll tell you what to do todayHow to choose outdoor special-shaped LED screen so as not to step on the thunder, I’m sure I’ll be clearer than buying after reading this article for three years!
1. Find out the needs thoroughly and save money
Let me tell you the truth first: Last year, a scenic spot spent 2 million to customize a maple leaf-shaped screen, but after installing it, I found that the brightness was not enough and I couldn’t see clearly during the day. So,Understanding demand is 100 times more important than bargaining！
The requirements list should be listed as follows:
- Environmental survey: The seaside must be protected from salt spray corrosion, and the north must withstand the low temperature of -30℃. For example, the ski slope screens we made for Hokkaido, Japan must use military-grade glue filling technology.
- Style complexity: Simple curved screen and hollow carved screen, the price difference is 3 times! For example, the 612㎡ wavy screen in Singapore took two months to design the optical structure.
- Frequency of use: If you are exposed to sun and rain all year round, you must choose a brightness configuration with IP65 or above protection + 5000cd/m². Don’t believe in those cheap goods marked "outdoor universal".
There is one hereTips on being lazy——Photo shoot live videos directly to the manufacturer. One of our customers recorded the sunshine angle and flow direction of the installation location. The plan was passed at one time, saving 20 days compared to changing the design back and forth!
2. The manufacturer's water is too deep? Four tricks to test the true body
Now, when searching for "LED customization", there are more manufacturers that pop up than night market skewers stalls. A few tricks to teach youFiery eyes：
Please keep the factory inspection guide:
- It is better to look at the quality inspection than to look at the workshop: No matter how awesome the assembly line is, it is all about not having the full process of quality inspection! Each screen in our workshop must pass 38 tests, and even the screw torque value must be recorded
- Ask cases and not ask about area: A capable manufacturer dares to give a list of customers. The 86% light transmittance window screen made for South Korea last year, with zero failures in three years
- Don't just look at the sample: Take a slow motion picture with your phone, and the refresh rate is lower than 1920Hz and immediately reveals the original shape, just like shooting a TV snowflake screen
- Check certification and don't look at trophy: ISO9001 is the basics, and the outdoor screen must also have CE waterproof certification. For example, our export products must be tested for salt spray for 48 hours.
Don’t believe the nonsense of “three-day shipping”! It takes 15 days to design the screen light structure. Once a customer was anxious to ask for it. Our team of 30 people worked in three shifts, and forced the 45-day construction period to 22 days, and 12 sets of molds were opened.
3. The tricks in the parameters are a must-read for beginners!
The P3 spacing is also marked. Some manufacturers use second-hand lamp beads to make up the numbers, and the color difference will be achieved after half a year of use. Remember theseHardcore parameters：
Tap Avoidance Comparison Table:
| parameter | Jargon interpretation | Real cost difference |
|---|
| "High Brightness" | It may be only 3000cd/m² | 200 yuan per square meter difference |
| "Military Quality" | Maybe it's just a layer of anti-rust paint | Structural cost difference of 40% |
| "Ten Year Warranty" | May not include labor costs | After-sales budget difference of 150,000 |
| "Imported chips" | It may be an overseas elimination batch | The price difference between lamp beads 3 times |
The key point is here!Low bright high gray technologyis the kingly way. The fence screen we made for the Tokyo Stadium will automatically drop to 800cd/m² at night without any dazzlingness, and will still be clear when it reaches 7500cd/m² during the day. This technology cannot be obtained by just putting a label.
4. How to break the price fog?
Don't rush to bargain, figure it out firstWhere did the money be spent?: A customer originally planned to spend 800,000 yuan. We helped him optimize the structural design and replace stainless steel with aluminum-magnesium alloy, which saved 120,000 yuan in material costs.
Cost breakdown chart:
- Material cost (accounting for 45%): lamp beads, driver ICs, box
- Design fee (20%): The most brain-burning simulation of aberrant structural mechanics
- Installation fee (25%): High-altitude working cars are more expensive than screens
- Spare parts (10%): Smart people need to prepare 5% more modules
Teach you aBargaining skills——For discounts for annual maintenance. We have a chain hotel customer who signed a three-year maintenance agreement and the total price was cut by 8%, a win-win situation!
5. The pitfalls I have struck in those years...
To be honest, I have seen the most outrageous case. A manufacturer used decorative aluminum-plastic boards as screens, but a short circuit caused a fire on a heavy rainy day. So:
- Waterproof testing cannot be saved: Each screen will simulate heavy rain for 72 hours
- Structural calculations should be serious: A 20-meter-high screen, wind load calculation can be fatal
- The contract must be written with dead parameters: Don’t believe in the "industry standard", and the brightness and color temperature are fully standardized
There is another new trend recently—Naked Eye 3D Special Shape Screen. The spherical screen we are developing is combined with AI content generation, so we don’t even need to write advertising slogans. The camera automatically captures the expressions of passers-by and changes the content. That’s amazing!
Editor's opinion: Choosing outdoor special-shaped screens is like finding a partner - you must be cool enough, you must be reliable inside, and your temper (after-sales service) must be good enough. Remember three mantras:The plan should be tailor-made, the manufacturer should dare to show off his underwear, and the contract should be detailed with the mother-in-law's account book.. Next time you see those fancy LED large screens, you can see the trick at a glance, right?
