Design a wall with this panelFrequently asked
- How much power does the Planar DLU-1.2 draw?
- Each Planar DLU-1.2 cabinet draws up to 28 W at full white and about 9 W with typical content — 140 W/m² max. A 10-cabinet wall therefore needs up to 284 W plus headroom.
- What is the resolution of the Planar DLU-1.2?
- One cabinet is 480 × 270 pixels at a 1.25 mm pixel pitch (640,000 px/m²). About 8 cabinets side by side reach 4K width (≈ 4.80 m).
- How heavy is a Planar DLU-1.2 wall?
- A single cabinet weighs 9 kg (44.4 kg/m²). A 5 × 3 wall of 15 cabinets weighs about 135 kg before mounting structure.
- Is the Planar DLU-1.2 suitable for outdoor use?
- No — the Planar DLU-1.2 is an indoor cabinet. Its 800 nits suit controlled lighting, not direct sun.
