Facade Lighting Installation

Facade lighting installation is the most important part of achieving facade lighting. At the beginning of lighting design, we should decide the installation of lamps and lanterns according to the structure of the building.

There are many kinds of facade lighting, and the corresponding installation methods are also various. According to different building structures and functions, we can choose different lamps and different installation methods.

Let’s first look at the animation effect of a facade lighting design.

To achieve such an effect, which installation methods are suitable for our lighting project?

Let’s assume first: If we use DMX512 programmable LED Pixel Lights to realize this lighting project, then there are three typical installation methods.

1. Net Light installation

LED mesh screen is a representative product of this installation method.
When viewing distance is between 50 meters and 150 meters,and the led wall height is less than 20 meters,LED mesh screen is one of the best choice to make a huge LED media facade.

The only condition to realize this installation method is that the wall has a load-bearing structure every 3-4 meters. The load-bearing structure of the building is used to bear the weight of the led mesh screen itself, and fix the led mesh screen so that it will not sway in the wind or fall down.

Check out the following video, you will see how to install LED mesh screen.

The advantage of this installation method is that the LED pixel density is high, and the video and image pictures are clear. If it is a 10m*10m LED wall, it is recommended to use LED Mesh screen

2. Aluminum installation

Aluminum profile installation is very fixed and secure.As long as there is a steel structure larger than 40mm wide on the glass curtain wall, or there is space on the wall to fix the aluminum profile with screws, we can use this installation.

Large-scale building lighting mostly adopts this installation method. Here, in addition to using LED Pixel Light to achieve the effect of LED media screen, you can also use LED Linear Light. With DMX512 programming control, Led linear light can achieve the same effect.

Using this installation method, if you want more LED pixels, you can install aluminum profiles according to 10 lights per meter. If a building is 50 meters high, it is recommended that you use 5-6 lights per meter, so the pixel density is just right.

In order to facilitate installation and programming control, you can also choose DMX led linear light, which has 8 pixels controllable per meter. And the rgb led linear light is easier to install than led pixel lights.

If you want to intuitively feel which lamp is more suitable for your project, we suggest you to try our samples. Our sample production only takes 3-5 days, and we provide project effect animation simulation services. Our professional team is always here to provide you with technical support and help you solve any technical problems.

3. Steel wire + buckle installation

This installation method is the most flexible and the most economical of the three installation methods. The same lamp, the same led point density, this installation method costs less than the previous two installation methods. Therefore, when creating a medium-sized LED Media screen, it is convenient and affordable to choose this installation method.

However, when the height of the building is too high, for example, the height of the building is more than 20 meters, the steel wire cannot keep all the lamps in a line. In other words, the steel wire can no longer be straightened due to the long distance. At this time, we should no longer use wire clips for installation.

Conclusion

Back to our original question, which installation method should we use for a 50-meter-high building? The answer is: aluminum profile + Led Pixel Light installation or LED linear light installation.

Compared with the aluminum profile installation of LED Pixel Light, DMX512 led linear light saves the time of installing point light sources into aluminum profiles, which is a great advantage for large-scale projects in a hurry.

Finally, let’s appreciate a lighting project realized by RGB Pixel Bar / DMX LED Linear Light
