The Dutch may have lost the world cup but an LED image in Albergan, the Netherlands, has been announced as the world’s largest. Made up of over 50,000 individual assembled LEDs in a range of colours, the image surpasses the previous record held by Tesco Ireland, consisting of 26,981 LEDs.
Measuring 7 by 25 metres, the image, a scene from Disney’s The Lion King, was assembled by 250 volunteers and uses Forge Europa’s, SPLED LEDs. SPLED was chosen due to its IDC termination method and push fit assembly enabling rapid wire connection and instant mounting into the artwork.
“Installing and mounting the lights went even faster than planned and even one hour after the starting signal, we were ahead of schedule,” said Forge Europa chairman Rob Borgerink.
The company are independent manufactures of LED lamps, displays and high end solid state LED lighting assemblies.
SPLED is available in red, yellow, green, blue and white colours and is designed to run from a 12VDC supply. SPLED is designed to push fit into an 8mm diameter hole with IDC connection for rapid wire termination negating the need for PCB mounting and soldering.
