Quick answer
Separate an EA500H8 rental quotation into indoor and outdoor 500 x 500 mm cabinet lines, each with exact model, pitch, brightness, IP rating, weight and quantity. Then make the spare package follow the same split: match spare modules, power supplies and receiving cards to the exact pitch and indoor IP31 or outdoor IP65 front and IP54 rear protection. If EA1000H8 cabinets are combined, confirm mixed assembly and control-system compatibility in writing.

Why mixed EA500H8 lines need separate pitch and protection fields
The EA500H8 is documented as a 500 x 500 mm rental cabinet for indoor and outdoor event video walls. Its indoor models are listed in P1.56, P1.95, P2.6 GOB and P2.97, while outdoor models are listed in P2.6, P2.97 and P3.91. Indoor brightness is given as 750-800 cd/m² and indoor models are IP31. Outdoor brightness is given as 4500-6000 cd/m², depending on the model, and outdoor models specify IP65 at the front and IP54 at the rear. Because those fields change by configuration, a single blended line cannot show what is being bought.
The cabinet weight also changes: the source lists 6.3 kg indoors and 6.5 kg outdoors for the 500 x 500 mm cabinet. Shared figures such as at least 3840 Hz refresh, 14-bit grayscale and a 140-degree viewing angle do not remove the need to price indoor and outdoor lines separately. Our advice is to make the indoor or outdoor model, exact pixel pitch, brightness, IP rating, cabinet weight and quantity one line each, then keep the spare package tied to the same fields.
What each indoor and outdoor line should state
An indoor line should name the indoor 500 x 500 mm model, the exact pitch from the documented indoor options, quantity, 750-800 cd/m² brightness depending on model, IP31 rating, 6.3 kg cabinet weight and 250 x 250 mm module size. The source lists brightness as a range depending on the model, so one family-wide figure is not specific enough for acceptance.
An outdoor line should name the outdoor 500 x 500 mm model, the exact pitch from P2.6, P2.97 or P3.91, quantity, 4500-6000 cd/m² brightness depending on model, IP65 front and IP54 rear ratings, and 6.5 kg cabinet weight. The source says to select the outdoor configuration for exposed venues and plan protection for the rear connections. The quotation should state how that rear protection and service route are handled for the actual installation.
EA500H8 mixed-use quotation lines and evidence to request
| Decision | Evidence to request |
|---|---|
| Indoor cabinet line | Request indoor 500 x 500 mm model, exact pitch, quantity, IP31 rating, 750-800 cd/m² brightness depending on model, 6.3 kg cabinet weight and 250 x 250 mm module size. |
| Outdoor cabinet line | Request outdoor 500 x 500 mm model, exact pitch from P2.6, P2.97 or P3.91, quantity, IP65 front and IP54 rear ratings, 4500-6000 cd/m² brightness depending on model and 6.5 kg cabinet weight. |
| Spare modules | Request spare modules by exact pitch and protection class; confirm matching power supply and receiving card for the selected indoor or outdoor cabinet. |
| Control equipment | Request a separate line for the control system and receiving equipment; match the HUB-connected cabinet electronics. |
| Mixed assembly | If EA1000H8 cabinets are combined, request confirmation of mixed assembly and matching pixel pitch, cabinet, module and control-system compatibility. |
| Curve hardware | Request optional high-precision curve lock as a separate line and confirm available angle range and screen radius. |
| Freight and cases | Request freight and suitable transport cases as separate lines so cabinet, accessory and control inclusions remain checkable. |
Spare modules and control must match the mixed cabinet lines
The source advises confirming the matching power supply, receiving card and spare parts when ordering an EA500H8 rental fleet. For a mixed indoor and outdoor order, that means the spare package should distinguish indoor IP31 modules from outdoor IP65 front and IP54 rear modules. A separate spare module order should name the pitch each spare fits, because a spare that is not identified by pitch and protection class is difficult to check against the cabinet lines.
Control equipment should also be listed separately. The EA500H8 uses a HUB connection design that links modules to cabinet electronics, and the cabinet has a detachable back cover and a power box with a quick-release buckle. Those service parts belong beside the control and spare lines so the buyer can see what is included for each indoor or outdoor set.
Mixed assembly with EA1000H8 changes compatibility checks
The EA1000H8 source documents that its cabinets support mixed assembly with EA500H8, EA500H8V and EA500H7 cabinets for creative screen shapes. It also says to match pixel pitch and confirm cabinet, module and control-system compatibility before combining models. For an EA500H8 order that may share a wall with EA1000H8 cabinets, the quotation should separate the EA500H8 lines from the other cabinet lines and record the confirmed compatible pitches and control configuration.
Ask EagerLED to confirm mixed assembly, matching pixel pitch, cabinet, module and control-system compatibility in writing before the order is accepted. This check is separate from the indoor and outdoor cabinet split because it concerns the joint between cabinet families, not the protection rating of one EA500H8 cabinet. Deferring that confirmation keeps the mixed-use quotation from being accepted on an assumption.
Service access, rear protection and curve hardware
EA500H8 documents front and rear maintenance access, magnetic LED modules and a cabinet designed for access from either side. The source advises planning the access space before choosing a wall position and confirming the service tools and replacement modules for the selected pixel pitch. For a mixed indoor and outdoor order, the quotation should state the service route for each installed section rather than a generic service note.
Curve hardware is optional. EA500H8 uses an optional high-precision curve lock, and the source says to specify curved installation when requesting the quotation so the lock configuration matches the planned screen shape. It also says to confirm the available angle range and screen radius with EagerLED before finalizing the design. An unspecified order should not be assumed to include the exact curve hardware for a curved section.
Handling, freight and defer conditions
EA500H8 has four corner guards that help protect module edges during handling, packing and assembly. The source says to use suitable transport cases and inspect the corners and locking points before each build, and that corner protection does not replace careful handling. Our advice is to list transport protection, including flight cases, as a separate line in the quotation.
Defer acceptance if the quotation does not name the exact indoor or outdoor model, pitch, brightness, IP rating, weight and quantity for each EA500H8 line. Also defer if the spare modules, power supply or receiving card are not matched to the exact pitch and protection class, or if mixed assembly with another cabinet family and the control configuration remain unconfirmed. A line-by-line quote makes those gaps visible when you compare LED screen quotes.
EA500H8 scenario decisions and what to confirm
