We’re excited to announce the arrival of our latest investment: the Xi 2.6mm pixel pitch LED video wall! This high-resolution screen delivers stunning, crisp visuals perfect for both indoor and outdoor events where clarity is crucial. Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, conference, or wedding, our new 2.6mm screen is designed to meet the highest standards in visual performance.

Why Choose a 2.6mm LED Screen?

When it comes to LED screens, pixel pitch matters. The 2.6mm pixel pitch refers to the distance between each pixel on the screen. The smaller the distance, the higher the resolution, meaning your content will look sharp, even when viewed from a close distance.

• For example, our 3m x 2m screen is perfect for smaller venues or events where the audience is just 2 to 3 meters away.
• If you’re setting up a larger screen like a 5m x 3m panel, viewers will enjoy near-perfect visuals from 5 meters away.

Our ground support system allows for easy setup indoors, whether you need a standard rectangular screen or something more custom. The new system helps save time and cost without sacrificing the quality of the screen setup.

2.6mm Screen Rental Pricing

Our 2.6mm LED video wall is available for hire starting at £215.00 per square meter, with discounts available for setups over 45 sqm. This price covers the rental of the screen itself, but please note that additional costs such as transport, rigging, and crew will apply based on the needs of your event.

Popular Screen Sizes for Your Event

To give you a better idea of screen sizes, here are some of the typical configurations we provide:

• 3m x 2m – Great for smaller corporate events or conference stages.
• 4m x 3m – Ideal for medium-sized events or exhibitions.
• 5m x 3m – A standard choice for larger venues.
• 6m x 4m – Perfect for big stages, concerts, or product launches.
• 7m x 5m – Impressive for large-scale productions like festivals.

Why LED Screens Are Superior to Projectors

LED video walls are far superior to traditional projectors. They provide brighter, sharper images, especially in well-lit environments or outdoor settings where projectors can struggle. Our 2.6mm screen offers the kind of high-definition clarity that projectors simply can’t match.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between 2.6mm, 3.9mm, and 12.5mm pixel pitch?

• The pixel pitch refers to the distance between the pixels on the screen, directly affecting image clarity and the optimal viewing distance. A 2.6mm screen offers higher resolution, perfect for close-up viewing (2-3 meters), while a 12.5mm screen is suited for larger outdoor events where viewers are further away.

2. How much does it cost to rent an LED video wall?

• Our 2.6mm screen starts at £215.00 per square meter (excluding VAT). Additional costs like crew, transport, and rigging will be quoted based on your event’s specific requirements. If you have a smaller budget then we would recommend our 3.9mm LED Screen which is £75.00 per sqm

3. How do I choose the right size for my LED screen?

• The size depends on your event’s audience and venue. Smaller events can use a 3m x 2m screen, while larger gatherings may require a 5m x 3m or even 7m x 5m screen. We’re happy to advise based on your specific event needs.

4. What is the ideal viewing distance for a 2.6mm LED screen?

• For optimal viewing, the 2.6mm LED screen should be viewed from 2-3 meters away for smaller screens (3m x 2m) and 4-5 meters for larger screens (5m x 3m or 6m x 4m). This ensures your audience can see crisp, high-quality visuals without noticing pixelation.

5. Can LED video walls be used outdoors?

• Yes, our 3.9mm outdoor screens are IP-rated to withstand rain and other weather conditions. While the 2.6mm screen is primarily for indoor use, it can be used outdoors in covered or controlled environments.

6. What’s the difference between LED screens and projectors?

• LED screens are brighter and sharper, especially in daylight or well-lit areas. They also offer better contrast and clarity for high-definition content, making them a superior choice for both indoor and outdoor events.

7. What are some creative ways to use LED screens at events?

• LED screens offer flexibility beyond just flat video walls. For instance, we can curve the panels to wrap around a DJ booth, or use them as part of an immersive custom stage design. Let us know your ideas, and we’ll help bring them to life!

8. Do LED screens require specific content resolution or format?

• For the best display, we recommend content in HD (1920 x 1080) or 4K resolution. We can also assist with converting or formatting your content to ensure it looks perfect on our screens.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Production to Corporate Christmas Party at Oaks Farm

Just 10 miles from London and a stone’s throw from Croydon and Bromley is the spectacular events venue, Oaks Farm. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and rural beauty, this building offers a range of rooms and suites for event organisers to choose from.

Our client had chosen “The Barn” as their setting for their company’s Christmas party in December of last year. With dark wooden beams and a blend of modern décor and original architectural detailing, we agree that it was a perfect location for a celebration of this nature. 

As a long-time event production partner to Oaks Farm, we got the call when the client booked in this relatively large-scale party. The venue quickly put us in touch with the client, and once we had discussed their options over the phone, we arrived at the venue the morning of the party to set everything up. 

Event Production Supplied to Surrey Events Venue for Corporate Christmas Party 

The first job we had on our hands was to transform the already spectacular barn into something more befitting of the  “Winter Wonderland” theme. We started by wrapping fairy lights around the transverse beams. We then sourced fake winter foliage (such as holly and mistletoe etc.), which we wrapped in the same manner, spaced roughly a foot apart from the lighting pattern.  

With the beams decorated and looking magnificent, we then commandeered one of the corners of the room to put up the Christmas tree, decorate it, and set up the snow machine to cover the area in the white stuff.  

Last on the more decorative side of our event production brief was the mood lighting. We set up two banks of battery-powered venue uplighters (one for each side of the room) and programmed them to emit a shade of blue that makes the entire room feel much more wintery. We are always amazed at how much difference these inexpensive lighting fixtures can make, and they more than did the trick once again. 

Professional Sound Equipment and Disco Lighting Hire Provided to Surrey Christmas Party

With the room now transformed, it was time to take care of the technical requirements for live entertainment. The client had booked a DJ for the after-dinner dancing, so we liaised with her to find out what she needed in terms of sound equipment. 

In the end, we ended up supplying a set of Pioneer DJ decks, a LED DJ booth, starlit backdrops, and a professional-quality sound system made up of d&b audiotechnik equipment, a brand that is widely regarded as the best in the industry. 

On the lighting side, we supplied and rigged a range of disco lighting fixtures (which included a couple of laser machines) along a small truss. Lastly, we finished by suspending an enormous glitter ball from the ceiling to add a touch of nostalgia. 

Once we had checked and rechecked all of the equipment, it was time to head out and leave the staff to enjoy their well-deserved night off. When we returned in the early hours, it was clear that everyone had enjoyed a fantastic night, and our event production had really come into its own once darkness had fallen.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Turnkey Wedding Event Production to Reception on Ravens Ait Island

There is undoubtedly no other Surrey wedding venue quite like Ravens Ait Island. A literal island in the middle of the Thames, those attending events here have the pleasure of catching the miniature ferry across the river to this venue with a difference.

While there are several different types of events hosted at this exclusive riverside venue, we were recently called in to provide a turnkey wedding event production solution for a couple getting married at the beginning of last autumn. 

The couple had opted for the dedicated marquee space for their reception, and we set about transforming it into the wedding reception venue of their dreams. So without further ado, let’s talk about the work we carried out to ensure the event was a resounding success. 

Event Production Provided to Ravens Ait Island in Kingston Upon Thames

The first aspect of our event production brief was decorating the space above and beyond those provided by the venue. We started with white wedding drapes, which we put in at each pillar of the framed marquee to cover up the steel bar structure. We then took the venue draping one step further by setting up ceiling-mounted starlit backdrops that hung over the dance floor area.      

Next, we then began rigging wedding fairy lights that criss-crossed from the marquee sides, ran along with the marquee ceiling, and met in the middle of the tent. These lights looked wonderful once darkness had fallen, really adding a magical feel to things. 

Lastly, on the non-technical side, we supplied and installed a wide range of LED furniture, including a mobile LED bar, poseur tables, and chairs. These were for the guests in and around the dance floor area. They were all programmed to cycle through a range of bright colours, and, once again, they really came into their own once darkness fell. 

Professional Sound, Lighting, and Dance Floor Supplied to Wedding at Ravens Ait Island 

Once we had taken care of all of the decorative elements of wedding event production, it was time to move on to the technical side of things. There was no need for a wedding stage for this event, and the live entertainment came in the form of a local DJ.

We made sure he had everything he needed and set up an attractive LED DJ booth for him to operate from. We then supplied and installed an immersive sound system that was more than ample for the 150 or so wedding guests in attendance. We then erected a small free-standing truss to which we attached the disco lighting fixtures, laser machines, and smoke machines.

Lastly, we laid an impressive 10m x 10m square dance floor, one of our white LED starlit models, which certainly impressed the guests. Many of them were itching to take it for a spin! With the dance floor taken care of, it was time to quickly check and double-check all devices before leaving the bride, groom, and their guests to it.

Upon returning the next day to dismantle and collect everything, we were told the event was a resounding success and that the bride and groom were delighted with the way the marquee both looked and sounded. We were obviously thrilled to receive such positive feedback.
