There’s still a lot to be learned and explored about P3 indoor led screen rental, and there are some common misconceptions about them. Below are the 5 most common ideas/thoughts being thrown around about LEDs, and the truths behind them!
- LEDs don’t last any longer than fluorescents
It’s completely a false statement. In fact, LEDs typically have a 50,000-hour life expectancy (with some variables thrown in there such as the type of LED, the anticipated use, etc) whereas a typical fluorescent light lasts 7,000-15,000 hours. You have to pay the added expense of changing ballasts in there as well when you are dealing with fluorescent lighting.
- LEDs require ballast
False as well! In fact, most of the LEDs these days require you to bypass the ballast if you’re working with fluorescent fixtures. Also, Each LED light will have a driver that essentially takes the place of ballast. While they do make ballast-compatible LEDs, you are essentially retrofitting the LED to fit into an “older” generation of lighting and save costs.
- LEDs contain hazardous chemicals
False. There have been some articles floating around that state P2.5 LED display contain hazardous materials. LEDs don’t contain mercury or any toxic chemicals. Some do emit RF wavelengths, but this is completely dependent on the company and manufacturer.
- LEDs don’t work well in cold temperatures
This is also false. Typical fluorescent lights take a while to warm up, while LEDs are instant-on with full power as there’s no gas inside of them. Most of our lights have been rated for temperatures as cold as -30°
- LEDs require a specific disposal process
False. This is something that doesn’t get talked about often; as LEDs are a fairly new technology and they just simply last so long. Because there are no toxic chemicals, if you simply wanted to throw them in the trash you safely could. We highly recommend you take apart the LEDs and recycle the various components of the light, but you will not be disposing of toxic waste if it does end up in the trash.
