If you are thinking of using a LED curtain display, look here for answers to frequently asked questions about LED lights and curtains.
Question: Does a LED curtain display use a lot of power? I am concerned about overloading our circuits at the theater, and having all the lights suddenly go out during a performance.
Answer: No, LED curtain display doesn't use much power. In fact, their energy-efficiency is one of the main reasons that LED curtain display is used in the commercial sphere so often. LED lights use slightly more power than fluorescent lights, but considerably less power per watt than incandescent bulbs. LED light bulbs range from 30 megawatts (MW) to 200 megawatts. Using LED lights in your background theater curtain will save you money on electricity, but more importantly it is more environmentally friendly. LED lights won't overload your circuits and they won't create a blackout.
Question: Do LED curtain displays require a lot of upkeep? My committee is considering using some LED curtain display for holiday decorations for our three story atrium, but I don't want our workmen to have to spend a lot of time changing tiny light bulbs every year.
Answer: LED lights are very durable and long lasting. Typical light bulbs last about 1000 hours of use. LED light bulbs, on the other hand, generally last for 100,000 hours of use. This cuts down on upkeep and repairs considerably. In addition, the light bulbs themselves are sturdier than typical light bulbs. Typical commercial lighting solutions have millions of breakable glass bulb. However, LED curtain displays have a protective, crack resistant, plastic coating around the glass LED bulb, making LED light bulbs very durable, nearly indestructible, and long lasting.
Question: Can I use a LED curtain display outside, draped on a wall of my building, if it's carefully placed away from the rain gutters?
Answer: No. LED light curtains (and all types of LED lights) are not safe for outdoor use. LED lights will be damaged by moisture and temperature extremes.
Question: Why is white LED curtain display sometimes more expensive than blue, red, purple, or green LED light products?
Answer: White LED curtain displays are created by using all of the other colors of LED lights together, to make a white light. So, a white LED light curtain, chandelier, or lamp is more costly to produce.
