1. What is an LED Wall Power Consumption Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the total power consumption of an LED wall display based on the number of pixels and power consumption per pixel.

Purpose: It helps AV professionals, event planners, and installers determine the electrical requirements for LED video walls.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Total power consumption (watts)
• \( N \) — Number of pixels
• \( P_{pixel} \) — Power consumption per pixel (watts)

Explanation: The total power is calculated by multiplying the number of pixels by the power consumption of each individual pixel.

3. Importance of Power Consumption Calculation

Details: Accurate power estimation ensures proper electrical planning, prevents circuit overloads, and helps with cooling requirements for LED installations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total number of pixels in your LED wall and the power consumption per pixel (default 0.2W for typical LED modules). All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a typical power consumption per pixel?
A: Most standard LED pixels consume about 0.2 watts, but this can range from 0.1W to 0.5W depending on brightness and technology.

Q2: How do I find the number of pixels in my wall?
A: Multiply the wall's resolution (width in pixels × height in pixels) by the number of panels.

Q3: Should I include a safety margin?
A: Yes, consider adding 10-20% to the calculated power for safety and to account for peak brightness scenarios.

Q4: Does this include controller and processing power?
A: No, this calculates only the LED wall power. Add 100-500W for controllers and processors depending on system size.

Q5: How does pixel pitch affect power consumption?
A: Smaller pixel pitches (higher resolution) typically consume more power per square foot due to more densely packed LEDs.
