All-in-One Rental LED Display Solution for Outdoor Events
E-Sapphire is an all-in-one lightweight LED panel for outdoor live events: carbon-fibre and magnesium panels from 6.5kg, IP65 protection and up to 6000 nits, so one inventory can be flown or ground-stacked in the open air.
An auxiliary alignment magnet guides each panel into place, and three sets of quick locks let crews build flat, curved or cornered walls, with in-row panels hung on dollies to shorten every LED panel rental job.
Auxiliary Alignment Magnet with Easy and Precise Installation
Up to 6000 nits, 3840Hz or 7680Hz refresh and a 6000:1 contrast ratio keep this rental LED panel readable in daylight and steady on camera, while a 4500-nit black-LED version adds a second LED option on the same model.
Impeccable Display Performance with Ultra-high Brightness, Refresh Rate and Contrast Ratio
Built for the constant handling of LED screen panel rental, E-Sapphire pairs carbon-fibre rods with die-cast magnesium panel frames and module shells, while automatic cooling and ribbed modules help carry heat away through long daytime shows.
Carbon-fiber & die-casting magnesium panels can better adapt to outdoor environment
Cooling rib patterns on modules & power box enlarge the heat dissipation area
The ESP3.9 lightweight LED panel comes in 500×500mm (6.5kg) and 500×1000mm (12kg) sizes at 3.9mm pitch, rated IP65 with 160°/120° viewing, AC 110–220V input and a 100,000-hour lifespan.

E-Sapphire comes in one pixel pitch, 3.9mm, so specifying this lightweight LED panel for an outdoor job is not a resolution decision. It comes down to which panel format, which LED package and which support method fit the site. Every option is built on the same ESP3.9 module (250×250mm, 64×64 pixels), so all of them sit in one rental inventory. At 3.9mm, the working rule of at least 1m of viewing distance per millimetre of pitch puts the closest comfortable viewer at around 4m.
500×500mm panel
The smaller format puts more joints into every metre of wall, and joints are where the arc locks (0° to ±10°) and corner locks do their work. Choose it for curved walls, wrapped structures and trim sizes around a main screen.
500×1000mm panel
Half as many panels per square metre as the 500×500mm format, which means fewer connections and fewer lifts on a large main screen. At 12kg, the panel works out to about 24kg/m² before frames and rigging.
Standard SMD, 6000 nits
The version to specify when the screen faces daylight or has to carry to the back of an open field. Pair it with the 7680Hz option when the wall will also be filmed or streamed.
Black LEDs, 4500 nits
Esdlumen offers high-brightness black LEDs as an alternative package for ESP3.9. It gives up 1,500 nits of peak brightness against the standard version, so check sun exposure and show times before choosing it for a daytime event.
Hung, wind-braced or stacked
Panels alone can be hung up to 13m. Adding the wind-resistant frame extends the maximum hanging height to 20m, with arc locks between frames so a braced wall can still curve. Where there is nothing to hang from, the regular stacking frame puts the wall on the ground, and dollies carry in-row panels for quicker hanging.
Shared across the series
SMD LEDs, IP65, 2000–10000K adjustable colour temperature and 14/16-bit gray scale on every panel, with carbon-fibre rods, die-cast magnesium frames and module shells, a cooling fan and ribbed modules and power box built into the design. Download the full parameter table (PDF)
E-Sapphire is built for outdoor rental projects where brightness, weather protection and fast deployment have to work together. Each scene below pairs one real deployment type with the panel characteristic that matters on site.
Use high brightness, IP65 protection and wind-support options for main stages, side screens and open-air festivals.
LED concert screen solutions
Wide viewing angles and daylight visibility keep the picture clear for audiences spread across outdoor stands and public spaces.
LED display projects
Magnet-assisted alignment, dolly handling and a universal module shorten repeated builds for touring brand events.
Event LED wall solutions
Where rigging points are limited, the stacking frame lets crews build a ground-supported wall on a square or park site.

For covered venues where rain, humidity and heat can still reach the screen, the IP65 outdoor cabinet gives more protection margin.
What IP rating do outdoor LED walls need?
The 7680Hz refresh option and 6000:1 contrast hold the backdrop steady on broadcast cameras, while 2000–10000K colour temperature lets the wall match the stage lighting.
Size your backdrop with the LED wall calculatorBoth are Esdlumen rental platforms, built to be assembled, struck and shipped again and again. The difference is the environment: an LED panel rental job in the open air has to answer to sun, rain, wind and heat as well as to the crew.
| Requirement | Indoor rental (Pilot Pro) | Outdoor rental (E-Sapphire) |
|---|---|---|
| Operating environment | Indoor venues and fully covered staging | Open-air live events |
| IP rating | IP30 | IP65 |
| Brightness | 900–1500 nits | 6000 nits (4500 nits with black LEDs) |
| Pixel pitch | 1.5 / 1.9 / 2.6 / 2.9 / 3.9mm | 3.9mm |
| Panel material | Die-cast aluminium | Carbon fibre + die-cast magnesium alloy |
| Panel weight | 8kg (500×500) / 13kg (500×1000) | 6.5kg (500×500) / 12kg (500×1000) |
| Panel depth | 73mm | 82mm |
| Contrast ratio | Up to 8000:1, model-dependent | 6000:1 |
| Refresh rate | 3840Hz / 7680Hz, model-dependent | 3840Hz / 7680Hz |
| Colour temperature | 2000–10000K, adjustable | 2000–10000K, adjustable |
Two points are easy to miss. Going outdoors did not make the panel heavier: an E-Sapphire 500×1000mm panel is 12kg against 13kg for the same size in Pilot Pro, because carbon fibre and magnesium alloy replace die-cast aluminium. And the pitch range is narrower: E-Sapphire is 3.9mm only, so close-viewed indoor stages still belong to Pilot Pro, the indoor rental LED display.
Other routes into outdoor rental in the Esdlumen range: the E-Swan curved LED video wall for curved outdoor builds, the Shine Pro outdoor LED screen as a high-stability outdoor rental series, and Dazzle Ⅳ where one series has to cover both indoor and outdoor rental.
All-inclusive solution is one of the six headline features of this series. In practice it describes the structure and service parts designed around the panel, so a rental company can hang, brace, stack, curve and repair every rental LED panel within one product family.
| Part | What it does | Why it matters on site |
|---|---|---|
| Wind-resistance frame | Braces the wall; arc locks between frames set 0°, ±2.5°, ±5°, ±7.5° or ±10° | Raises maximum hanging height from 13m to 20m. A 500×1000mm panel with frame weighs 20kg. |
| Regular stacking frame | Ground-support option in the dual stacking system | Builds a wall on sites without rigging points |
| Dolly | Carries in-row panels for hanging | Speeds up hanging on large flown walls |
| Auxiliary alignment magnet | Guides neighbouring panels into line | Easier, more precise installation |
| Corner locks and arc locks | Three lock sets: corner locks among panels, arc locks among panels, arc locks between wind-resistance frames | Flat, curved and cornered shapes from the same inventory |
| Universal module | One module type (250×250mm, 64×64) fits every position on every panel | One spare module type for the whole wall |
| Independent power box and receiving card | Maintained separately from the modules. Modules: front or rear; power box and receiving card: rear | Replace only the failed part, cutting maintenance time |
| Cooling fan and cooling ribs | Fan reduces heat build-up automatically; ribs on modules and power box enlarge the heat dissipation area | Heat control through long daytime shows |
| Certification and testing | CB, EMC, LVD, ETL, FCC; TÜV tensile, compression and wind resistance tests | Documentation to share when a venue or authority asks for it |
Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours. All values are per panel and for reference only; actual values may vary. For full data, download the E-Sapphire parameter table (PDF).
Each panel combines carbon-fibre rods with a die-cast magnesium panel frame and die-cast magnesium module shells. A 500×500mm panel weighs 6.5kg and a 500×1000mm panel weighs 12kg, or 20kg with the wind-resistant frame fitted.
That is lighter than the same panel sizes in Pilot Pro, Esdlumen's indoor rental LED display (8kg and 13kg), even though E-Sapphire is rated IP65 for outdoor use.
E-Sapphire is Esdlumen's all-in-one rental LED panel system for outdoor live events. It is rated IP65, reaches 6000 nits and uses carbon-fibre and magnesium-alloy panels designed to adapt to the outdoor environment.
For close-viewed indoor stages, Pilot Pro (IP30, 1.5mm to 3.9mm) is the better match. For the background on ingress ratings, read What Is IP65? What IP Rating Do Outdoor LED Walls Need?
The standard ESP3.9 is rated at 6000 nits. A black-LED version is rated at 4500 nits and is offered as an additional option for productions that want that LED package. The model has a 160°/120° viewing angle and a 6000:1 contrast ratio.
If the screen will face direct sun for most of the show, the standard version keeps the larger brightness margin.
Esdlumen rates the maximum hanging height at 13m for panels alone and 20m for panels with the wind-resistant frame.
Where there is nothing to hang from, the series uses a dual stacking system: the wind-resistance frame or a regular stacking frame, chosen to suit the site. Wind conditions, rigging points and local regulations still need to be checked by the rigging engineer on every job.
Yes. Three sets of locks handle creative shapes: corner locks between panels, arc locks between panels and arc locks between wind-resistance frames. The arc locks set 0°, ±2.5°, ±5°, ±7.5° or ±10°.
An auxiliary alignment magnet helps each panel land accurately, so curved and cornered joints stay clean on the build.
The modules, power box and receiving card can each be maintained independently, so a technician replaces only the part that has failed. Modules can be serviced from the front or the rear; the power box and receiving card are serviced from the rear.
Every panel position uses the same universal module, so one module type covers the spares for the whole wall.
As a working rule, allow at least 1m of viewing distance per millimetre of pixel pitch, which puts the closest comfortable viewer for ESP3.9 at around 4m. Outdoor audiences usually stand further back than that.
If the nearest viewers or cameras will be much closer, look at a finer-pitch series such as Pilot Pro.
E-Sapphire is available at 3840Hz and 7680Hz. For live streaming, broadcast and big-screen camera feeds, 7680Hz gives more margin against scan lines and banding once shutter speeds and stage lighting come into play.
For screens that only the live audience will watch, 3840Hz is often sufficient.
Rated input is AC 110–220V. Maximum power consumption is 600W/m² and average consumption is 150W/m².
As an example, a 50m² wall has a maximum draw of about 30kW and an average draw of about 7.5kW. Size the generator or supply to the maximum figure, not the average.
The E-Sapphire brochure lists CB, EMC, LVD, ETL and FCC certification, plus TÜV tensile, compression and wind resistance tests. Rated lifespan is 100,000 hours.

There is no honest single price. The quote depends on total wall size, panel format, standard or black LEDs, refresh option, support method (hung, wind-braced or stacked), processor choice, transport packaging and spares ratio.
