LED lamps are sensitive to static electricity and surge voltage, which may damage their components and decrease their reliability.

Take measures against static electricity during the installation. Do not touch the LED display areas.

The LED lamps may absorb and hold moisture during the LED module installation or if not used for a long time. Therefore, in such cases, the brightness must be increased gradually during a break-in period before setting the normal brightness.

If the LED lamps are lit with 100% brightness while moisture is retained, the temperature will rise very quickly and the water inside the lamps will evaporate and expand. This will cause the encapsulating resin to expand, which may lead to separation of the boundary surface inside the LED lamps. This separation can cause the LED lamps not to light up properly.

Lamp break-in

Configure the brightness settings as shown below with a video displayed on the LED module. After a break-in period of approximately 3 hours, the LED module can be used under normal conditions.

The supplied parts are as follows.

In case one of these parts is missing or damaged, contact the retailer.
