• Simple judgment method:

1. Percussion and listening (crisp = thin aluminum plate)
2. Look at the seams (≤0.08mm is better)
3. Measure heat dissipation holes (opening rate ≥ 35%)

Exclusive data revealed

Industry research shows that in 2023, LED scrolling screen procurement disputes will​ ​68% are due to contract loopholes​ ​. Special reminder to pay attention to the definition of "module damage" - some manufacturers count the failure of a single lamp bead as module damage. The cost of replacing a lamp bead is 5 cents, and they will charge you 200 yuan!

​​Personal advice​ ​: Newbies will give priority to manufacturers with EU CE certification. Such companies usually implement RoHS environmental standards, and the life of lamp beads generally exceeds 100,000 hours. Remember, when purchasing, just ask "Can you provide third-party inspection video?", you can often screen out 80% of unreliable merchants!
