I wanted to make an LED wall for church, so I was super stoked about it! It was going to be a fun hobby where I could exercise my skills with electronics. I love working with various gadgets and technology, and this was a great opportunity to be creative. Not only was building this LED wall a way for me to show what I am capable of, but it was also a way for me to give back to my church community. This led me to start planning everything out with careful organization, so I could have all the materials as I desired to create a great project.
Building the LED Wall
It was a little tricky putting together the LED wall but I was up for the job. The first thing to do was determine how large the led wall would be, and how many led panels I would need to build it. I measured the area where we wanted to have the wall and then determined the panel sizes. Once I had my measurements, I ordered the LED panels, drivers, power supplies, and other materials I would need to assemble everything.
After gathering all the necessary materials, it was time to put together the LED panels and connect them to a sturdy frame. For the LED wall I went with an aluminum frame to keep everything light and strong and easy to build. Again, I attached the LED panels to the frame using bolts and nuts. Once I made certain that the panels were secure, I moved to connect the panels to the LED drivers and power supplies that would power the wall.
Our Church's LED Wall
We wanted to ensure that our church LED wall would also make our services much more enjoyable and engaging. I think it would be great for that LED wall because it can project hymns, Bible verses, prayers, and many more things during the services. Our church had very little to spend on this project so we decided the best option would be to build the wall ourselves. And that way we could save money and still do something beautiful for the community.”
The LED wall was custom built to shape the church stage. That included seeing what we could readily find. The LED panels, drivers, power supplies and all other supplies necessary for the project were ordered. Safety was a huge concern, and we wanted to ensure that we were taking the appropriate measures when we were working. When assembling the LED wall we were wearing gloves, goggles, and protective workwear to ensure our safety.
How I Built the LED Wall
As a step-by-step process to building our church's LED wall I made the frame in aluminum, which was light and easy to work with. I then cut the aluminum frames to the exact size of the LED panels I ordered. I drilled holes in the frames to be able to bolt the LED panels securely after cutting the aluminum. This was a vital step, seeing as I wanted to have everything stable and safe.
Also, I hooked up the LED panels to LED drivers and power supplies. The led drivers and power supplies are behind the LED wall to keep them from dust and other things that could cause a problems. I also took my time with wiring so I can ensure there are no loose connections or short-circuits which would cause the wall not to function properly.
Lastly, I ran a test on the LED wall to ensure it was functional and there was no defect. This worked wonderfully, and I was relieved to see that! Just what I hoped for, bright and vibrant display through the LED wall.
Our Beautiful LED Wall
The installation of the LED wall went very well and it looked gorgeous in our church! This resulted in a very colourful and animated atmosphere in our services. It added so much to the overall atmosphere of the church. The LED wall was a beautiful addition and very helpful in projecting hymns, Bible verses, and prayers for everyone to follow along with greater ease in our services.
I was very excited because the LED wall was a big that our church accomplished and for me as well. It was a team effort and this included many other church members who worked in various aspects of the project. I am proud to say that we worked as a team to complete the project on schedule and within budget.
