Outdoor LED screen rental: brightness, weather, and power
An outdoor event asks more of an LED screen than a ballroom does. The sun, the wind, the rain, and the power supply all decide which screen works. Here is what to check before you book.
Brightness for daylight
An indoor screen washes out in sunlight. Outdoor LED screens run at about 5,000–8,000 nits, so the picture stays readable at midday. After dark the brightness is turned down so the screen does not glare.
Outdoor pitch is usually P3.9 to P6. The audience stands farther back, so a coarser pitch still looks sharp and keeps the cost down.
Weather and structure
Outdoor cabinets are weather-rated against rain and dust. The structure is checked for the site and the wind: ground-stacked, flown from a truss, or mounted on a trailer. In strong wind or a storm, safety comes first, and the crew decides with you whether the screen runs.
Plan where the screen faces. A screen facing the afternoon sun needs the full brightness; a screen in shade can run lower.
Power, sizes, and price
The screen needs a reliable power supply. If the venue does not have it, a generator is part of the plan, and we size it with you.
Common outdoor sizes run from 10 × 6 ft to 30 × 15 ft and larger. Rental starts from $1,100 per day, with a technician on site for the whole event and 24/7 support. A turnkey event with screen, sound, light, and crew starts from $4,500.
