Powering Your Pixels: How Many LED Unit Boards Can a 5V 200W Supply Really Handle?
Have you ever wondered how many LED unit boards you can connect to a single 5V 200W display power supply? The answer depends on your LED unit boards' specifications!
Let's take ourMIJI LED KS Series 5V 200W ultra-thin display power supplyas an example.
For commonP10 unit boards(often used in storefront signs and scrolling text displays), our KS 5V 200W can comfortably power10 boards. This applies to both full-color and single-color P10s, which typically consume around 15W per board. So, 10 boards total about 150W – a perfect load!
Key Consideration: The 80% Rule! For optimal performance and longevity, we generally recommend loading a power supply to about 80% of its capacity. Constant full load can affect its lifespan.
What about other pixel pitches? Outdoor displays with smaller pixel pitches (e.g., P2.5) tend to have higher power consumption per board. For instance:
A P2.5 unit board (320x160mm) might be around 35W/pc. For these, we'd suggest loading 4 boards on our 5V 200W supply.
Here’s a quick reference guide for our MIJI LED 5V 200W supply with common outdoor LED display modules:
P3(192x192mm) ~25W/pc ➡️Supports 6 pcs
P4(320x160mm) ~35W/pc ➡️Supports 4 pcs
P5(320x160mm) ~30W/pc ➡️Supports 6 pcs
P6(192x192mm) ~18W/pc ➡️Supports 8 pcs
P8(256x128mm) ~20W/pc ➡️Supports 6 pcs
P10(320x160mm) ~15W/pc ➡️Supports 10 pcs
⚠️ Important Installation Tip: Always ensure your power supply is installed in a well-ventilated environment with good heat dissipation. This significantly extends its lifespan and reduces the chance of failure.
