Street-Level LED Protection Budget: GOB Modules, IP Cabinets

Quick answer

Budget street-level protection as separate quotation lines: LED cabinets and modules, the documented IP rating by exposed face, service access, protective masks or covers, spare modules, and any site-specific impact or cleaning scope. For EagerLED outdoor models, protection features are model-specific. Impact resistance, cleaning methods and local requirements remain project-specific and should be itemised rather than blended into one cabinet price.

Separate Cabinet Protection From Site Protection

Start the budget by splitting cabinet protection from site protection. The cabinet line covers the display and any documented cabinet-level feature, such as an IP rating or a protective mask. The site line covers anything added for the street position: barriers, covers, cleaning method, impact protection and local requirements. For documented EagerLED outdoor models, protection features are model-specific. The EA1000TOR1 outdoor transparent LED screen has IP65 dust and water protection. The EA-OFixed outdoor LED board lists IP65 at the front and IP54 at the rear. The EA-OFloor outdoor floor display uses front and rear IP67 protection. The EA960SP4 stadium LED screen has IP65 waterproof rating. Use an IP rating comparison to frame the question, but confirm the exact cabinet and face in writing.

If the design brief names GOB-protected modules, keep the module protection request as its own line. Ask for the exact module part number, the applicable module-level protection documentation, and the replacement part. Do not merge that request with the cabinet IP line, because the supplied passages for EA1000TOR1, EA-OFixed, EA-OFloor and EA960SP4 describe cabinet ratings and protective hardware, not GOB module specifications. This is a quotation-scoping recommendation, not a statement that a particular GOB module is unsuitable.

Confirm IP Rating by Exact Model and Exposed Face

An outdoor IP number is not a whole-project protection claim. The EA-OFixed specification tables list IP65 protection at the front and IP54 at the rear, so the two sides of the same cabinet have different ratings. The EA1000TOR1 outdoor transparent LED screen has IP65 dust and water protection. The EA-OFloor outdoor floor display uses front and rear IP67 protection and can remain submerged in water. The EA960SP4 stadium LED screen has an IP65 waterproof rating.

Street-level protection also depends on orientation and service position. The EA-OFloor is a 500x1000mm, IP67-rated floor tile screen, and for outdoor environments it is recommended to install above the ground. Its magnetic design supports front service. That is documented floor-tile scope; it does not establish a vertical wall rating or a rigging method for a raised street-level display. Confirm the installation orientation separately for every cabinet in the quote.

Protection budget lines and evidence to request

Treat Impact, Anti-Vandal and Protective Layers as Project-Specific

Some protective hardware is documented for specific EagerLED models, but it should not be treated as a general anti-vandal rating. The EA960SP4 is equipped with a soft mask and rubber cover to effectively protect athletes from potential injuries during competition, and its support structure can withstand front and rear impacts. It also has a protective pillowcase and soft mask design. For a street-level screen, request a written scope for any barrier, cover, impact screen or protective layer for the exact position.

The EA-OFloor documents protective layers at module level: the module surface is equipped with a mask, convex design, and protective rubber ring to increase waterproof performance, and the bottom shell has a breathing valve. Those features belong to the named floor model. They do not establish the same protection for a vertical wall cabinet or for a screen at vehicle height. Match the protective layer to the actual installation orientation and application.

Cleaning is another project-specific line. The supplied passages for EA1000TOR1, EA-OFixed, EA-OFloor and EA960SP4 document IP ratings and some protective hardware, but they do not state pressure-wash, cleaning-chemical or anti-vandal approval for every street position. Ask for the written cleaning method and any replaceable protective layer, and keep that scope separate from the cabinet price.

Budget Service Access and Replacement Modules

Service access changes both installation and long-term cost. The EA1000TOR1 transparent rental LED display supports front and rear maintenance access. The EA-OFloor magnetic design supports front service. The EA960SP4 back cover is designed to be opened quickly for easy maintenance, and the model has a rear maintenance design. Match the documented service route to the installed position before finalising the mounting method.

Replacement modules and protective layers should be separate quotation lines. For the EA-OFloor, the mask, convex design and protective rubber ring are module-surface features; for the EA960SP4, the soft mask and rubber cover are documented protective parts. Ask for the exact spare modules list, module part numbers and replacement route for the quoted model. This is our recommended budget structure; it lets you compare what is included rather than one blended price.

Compare Quote Lines and Defer Until Protection Scope Is Written

Ask for separate lines for cabinets, modules, protective masks or covers, mounting, service access equipment, cleaning or impact scope, spare modules, freight, installation and commissioning. This structure lets you compare LED screen quotes on the same inclusions. If GOB-protected modules are specified, add a distinct module line and request the exact part number and applicable documentation. Keep local requirements and site-specific impact protection outside the cabinet line so the responsible professional can review them.

Treat the protection budget as incomplete until the exact cabinet format, IP rating by face, service route, module part and spare-parts scope are written into the quotation. For the models discussed here, documented ratings and features are model-specific. If the site needs impact protection, cleaning approval or anti-vandal measures that are not documented for the selected cabinet, price them as separate project items rather than assuming they are included.

Street-level scenario and what to confirm

Buyer checklist

• Name the exact EagerLED model, cabinet format and installation orientation before requesting protection pricing.
• Confirm the IP rating for each exposed face of the quoted cabinet: EA1000TOR1 IP65; EA-OFixed IP65 front and IP54 rear; EA-OFloor front and rear IP67; EA960SP4 IP65.
• Separate any GOB-protected module request from the cabinet line and ask for the exact module part number and applicable protection documentation.
• Match the service route to the site: EA1000TOR1 front and rear maintenance; EA-OFloor front service; EA960SP4 rear maintenance and openable back cover.
• Ask for written scope and pricing for impact barriers, covers, cleaning method and replaceable protective layers as separate lines.
• Request spare modules and protective parts as separate quotation items for the exact quoted model.

Frequently asked questions

Should GOB module protection be part of the outdoor cabinet price?

If the design names GOB-protected modules, keep them as a separate module quotation line and request the exact module part number plus any written impact, cleaning or replacement documentation. The supplied passages for EA1000TOR1, EA-OFixed, EA-OFloor and EA960SP4 describe cabinet-level IP ratings and protective hardware, not GOB module specifications, so do not assume the cabinet IP line covers it.

How do IP ratings differ across these street-level outdoor models?

EA-OFixed lists IP65 at the front and IP54 at the rear, so the two faces differ. EA1000TOR1 has IP65 dust and water protection. EA-OFloor uses front and rear IP67 protection and can remain submerged in water. EA960SP4 has an IP65 waterproof rating. Confirm the rating for the exact model and each exposed face rather than applying one number to the whole project.

Does an IP65 or IP67 rating protect a street-level LED display from vandalism?

The supplied passages document dust and water protection, and EA960SP4 documents a soft mask, rubber cover, protective pillowcase and a support structure that can withstand front and rear impacts. They do not state a general anti-vandal rating for these models. Request a written project-specific impact-protection scope and price any barrier or cover separately.

What service access should I budget for a street-level LED display?

Match the documented service route to the installed position. EA1000TOR1 supports front and rear maintenance access. EA-OFloor has a magnetic design that supports front service. EA960SP4 has a rear maintenance design and a back cover designed to be opened quickly. If the street position has no rear clearance, confirm the front-service option for the exact model.

How should replacement modules and protective layers be quoted?

Keep them as separate lines for the exact model. EA-OFloor documents a module surface mask, convex design and protective rubber ring, plus a bottom-shell breathing valve. EA960SP4 documents a soft mask, rubber cover and protective pillowcase. Ask for the spare modules list, module part numbers and replacement route so those items are visible rather than blended into the cabinet price.

When should the protection budget be treated as incomplete?

Treat it as incomplete until the exact cabinet format, IP rating by face, service route, module part and spare-parts scope are written into the quotation. For these EagerLED outdoor models, documented ratings and protective features are model-specific. If impact protection, cleaning approval or anti-vandal measures are not documented for the selected cabinet, price them as separate project items.
