Average power from the datasheet, your opening hours and your electricity tariff — what an LED screen really costs to run for a year.
Every number comes from the published datasheet of the selected model. Final layout, control system and installation are confirmed by an engineer with your quotation.

Average, not peak. Running cost uses the datasheet's average figure — what the screen draws on typical video. Peak power is for sizing breakers and cables. Where a datasheet writes the figure as a limit (≤ or <), the result is the top of the range.
The formula. Average W/m² × built area ÷ 1,000 = kW (for finished units: average W per unit × number of units ÷ 1,000). kW × hours per day × 365 = kWh per year. kWh × your tariff = cost per year. Nothing is hidden; every input is editable.
Common mistake. Comparing screens on peak watts alone. Two screens with the same peak can differ a lot on average power, and over five years that difference is usually larger than the price gap.
