Full color
LEDs,Operated by High Capacity Controllers
Installing high-class and luxurious signs on the exterior
of apartment building walls has rapidly increased recently. Unlike painting
apartment names on it, the trend seems move with the signs that are illuminated
at nighttimes as well as daytimes. LEDs application on apartment signs is
particularly increasing fast than anything else.
On the
Apartment Dogok Rexle is an enormous apartment complex that
consists of 3,002 apartment homes. At the first stage, gigantic illuminated LED
channel signs were installed on the three places of them for trial. The upper
part of the sign includes the huge logo 멢X?and the lower part includes the name
of the apartment written in English. One of the unique facts is that the upper
part of the logo changes its color since RGB full color LED modules were
applied. For this purpose, LED modules with 9 LED lamps were mounted in the
interior part of the channel letters whereas white LED modules were placed in
the English channel letters of the lower part.
Low Energy Consumption The power suppliers
that transform the electrical currents for homes to the currents that use LED
modules were used. Like a transformer is needed in neon pipes, power suppliers
are essential for this matter. Generally speaking, transformers raise voltage
from 220V to 15,000V, but power suppliers transform 220V to only 12-24V for the
LED modules to light up. Just like the distance of the neon tube is to the
standard, there is a given amount of number or LED modules that can be connected
to a power supplier. The full color LED modules, installed in the upper part
of the Dogok Rexle apartment sign, are connected to a power supplier with 24V
and 600W of capacity, and the white LED modules, installed in the lower part of
the sign, are connected to two power suppliers with 12V and 350W of capacity
each. Despite of the gigantic size of the apartment sign, the energy consumption
is only 5A.
Controllers for LED Lamps Is Necessarily
Required In order for producing colorful illumination effects that
is one of the strengths of a full color LED, the controller for LED lamps is
always needed. A LED controller is a device that controls dimming and color
change just like low voltage neon switches. There are a variety of types of
controller that even allow color transformation while others only turn on and
off, so when choosing the type of a controller, it is important to completely
understand the purpose of the signs that you are trying to achieve. The
controllers that are installed in the channel signs of Dogok Rexle apartments
are ready-made products with about 10 different options that allow controlling
the duration of illumination and the time interval between the durations. Once
wiring the power suppliers and timers after connecting the LED module
controllers, the wiring task is complete. It is particularly unique since this
project used stainless steel for not only the sign itself but also other parts.
All the wires are connected from distributive box to the sign, being put into
the stainless pipes. This is for preventing the apartment building facade from
getting rust stains. The technique for producing apartment signs using LEDs
has been improving and this progress will surely keep going on. It is just a
problem of how to persuade firms and shop owners who are mainly the customers to
use channel letters with LED lighting, and this is what the sign makers should
assume. It is vain, if you are not persuasive enough to propose and recommend
products to the customers although you have outstanding products. We look
forward to more activation of apartment channel signs incorporating into RGB LED
full color effects in the future. |
