LED screens and media facades
See-through LED mesh and facade lighting for buildings. We match the pixel pitch to the viewing distance, check that the control system can meet local rules and, on request, bring the factory's engineers into the project.
LED mesh screens
A net of LED pixels hung on steel wire ropes in front of the facade shows video at the scale of the whole building, while part of the daylight and the view from inside pass through.
- Pitch from the viewing distance
- Pixels per m² = (1000 ÷ pitch in mm)²: a P50 mesh has 400, a P100 mesh 100. In one manufacturer's catalogue, the optimal viewing distance starts at 50 m for its P50 flexible LED net and at 100 m for P100.
- Open area and weight
- In a mesh table one manufacturer sent us, the open area rises from 29.8% at a 31.25 mm pitch to 86.9% at 150 mm, and the weight falls from 10 to 1.2 kg per m².
- Brightness at night
- Catalogue brightness is calculated from the LEDs. At night what matters is how far the controller can dim and whether it follows a schedule.
Linear and pixel lights
Light bars and points that follow edges, windows and floors. They are usually controlled over DMX512 and draw outlines, colours and effects rather than detailed video.
- When to choose them
- When the architecture itself should stay visible and the facade needs lines of light rather than a screen.
- Protection
- The linear lights we were offered are rated IP65; we check the rating of the exact model you order.
A project, not a box
A media facade is designed for the building: one factory told us it takes the project from scheme design to delivery, and its engineers can commission the system on request.
- What the quote includes
- Usually the mesh per m², linear lights per metre and point lights per piece, plus the master controller, outdoor control and power boxes, cables and fixings. Usually not included: the steel structure, installation, freight and the engineer's travel.
- Local rules
- For example, in Chile advertising and decorative lighting must be off from midnight to 7 am, and luminous advertising screens may not exceed 50 cd/m². We check that the control system can meet such rules.
- Warranty and lead time
- One factory told us its warranty is 3 years, 5 years at extra cost, and its usual lead time is 15 to 25 days. Put both, with a dated schedule, in the contract.

Questions and answers
Which pixel pitch do we need?
It depends on the closest point people will look from and on the content: text and logos need a finer pitch than abstract animation. In one manufacturer's catalogue, a P50 flexible LED net is rated for viewing from 50 m.
Can the facade be dimmed and switched off on a schedule?
Switch-off on a schedule is done with relays on the mains supply. Scheduled dimming depends on the controller: for the DMX lights we were offered it needs a compatible controller, and for each project we confirm it with the factory.
Who installs it?
A local contractor installs the structure and the mesh. The factory's engineers can commission the system on site at the customer's expense, or help remotely.
