Re: What happens when a bored EE gets ahold of 57,600 LEDs

Well, there is always quantity pricing. Based on my experience with LED lighting wall panels, they do get hot after a while. In addition, the scanning of the array produces horrendous RF near the panel. Keep mics away from the panel and the wiring.
A few years ago, I was walking the floor at a component exposition and turned the corner to face an LED manufacturer's display. I could feel the heat from about ten feet away. The display was all of their products mounted on a single panel about six foot high and two to three foot wide. I think it was ledtronix.
