Now, more and more malls, exhibition halls, stage shows and immersive entertainment projects are starting to use interactive LED floor displays. This kind of ground display can not only display gorgeous pictures, but also realize human-screen interaction. For example, when you walk over, the floor can change color, glow, or even “respond” to your movements. So, how much does this high-tech floor cost per dollar? Today we will disassemble this problem so that you can buy it clearly and use it with confidence.
A. What is the approximate price of interactive LED floor tiles?
Currently, the price range of interactive LED floor displays on the market is very large, mainly concentrated between US$1,000 and US$3,500 per square meter. Why is the span so large? Because of different configurations, different technologies and different functions, the price will naturally increase.
For example, the most basic LED floor tiles can only play pictures without any interactive functions. This type of product is relatively cheap, ranging from about US$1,000 to US$1,500 per square meter.
The standard model with interactive functions such as infrared sensing and pressure sensing is about US$1,500 to US$2,500.
As for high-end custom-made products with multi-point sensing systems, synchronous sound effects, ultra-high brightness and high-definition displays, it may cost you $3,000 or more per square meter.
B. What factors affect the price?
1. Pixel spacing
The smaller the pixel spacing, the clearer the picture and the higher the price. The price of P6.25 will be significantly lower than P3.91 or P2.98. If you use it for long distance viewing, there is no problem with a larger pixel spacing; but if it is a scene like exhibition hall or stage performance that requires close viewing, it is recommended to choose a high-definition model, and the price will naturally rise.
2. Types of induction technology
The “interaction” of interactive LED floors is not magic, but is achieved by sensors. Common ones include pressure sensing, infrared sensing, and millimeter wave sensing. The more advanced the technology and the more sensitive the response, the naturally higher the cost. Simply put, the more sensor functions, the smarter it is, and the more the price goes up.
3. Load bearing and protection capabilities
Many application scenarios require people to step on the LED screen directly, such as stage performances, shopping mall activities, etc. At this time, LED floor tiles must have strong load-bearing capacity and high protection level. For example, if the waterproof and dustproof level must reach IP65 or above, the load-bearing must be able to support an adult or even a small car. The manufacturing cost of this type of product is higher, and the price will naturally increase.
4. Control system and interactive content
Many projects not only buy hardware, but also require a complete set of interactive content and control systems, such as synchronized music, lighting, and animation, which are all “soft costs”. If you need to customize content or use higher-level interactive programs, the price may rise a lot.
C. Price reference for different usage scenarios
If you are a shopping mall owner and want to attract traffic and attract attention, you usually only need medium-configured interactive LED floor tiles, and the price is about US$1,500 to US$2,000 per square meter.
If you are doing a stage performance, you need to have high-definition graphics and sensitive interactions, and the budget is recommended to increase to more than $2,000.
And if you are the head of high-end art exhibitions, science and technology museums, and digital exhibition halls, you may have to prepare a budget of $2,500 to $3,500 or even more per square meter to meet the needs of an immersive interactive experience.
D. Don’t ignore “extra fees”
When buying floor tiles and screens, it is not just about buying “bricks”. The following additional costs should be considered:
Control system costs: ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the complexity of the function.
Installation structure cost: It depends on how large area you need to build, whether the foundation, waterproofing, wiring, etc. involves. The cost is usually calculated based on the area.
Content production cost: If you need to customize interactive animations or game content, the cost will start at $2,000, and some may even cost tens of thousands.
Post-maintenance cost: High-quality LED floor tile screens generally will not have major problems within the first two years, but you still need to consider the subsequent maintenance and replacement costs.
E. How to buy it for a good deal?
First, you must clarify the actual needs of your project. If it is just to attract attention, the highest configuration is not necessary; if it is used for a long time, it is recommended to give priority to durability and after-sales guarantee.
Secondly, if the area is large, there is room for bargaining. Large-scale purchases usually get a 10% to 20% discount, and even an additional gift.
Finally, try to avoid middlemen and directly find factories or brands with production capacity. What you save is profit margin.
At the end: Interactive LED floor tiles have some reasons to be expensive
In general, the price of interactive LED floor displays is not “cheap”, but the visual impact and interactive experience it can bring is incomparable to ordinary display devices. It is expensive and valuable, and it must be purchased reasonably. This is the most critical criterion for judgment when purchasing.
Thank you for watching. I hope we can solve your problems.
