Every cabinet is cut for the 8,000 mm shell — the latitude bands, the truncations at top and bottom and the cable exits are tooled for this one diameter
IP65 sealing on cabinet joints, driver covers and cable glands — the build is tested as a sealed assembly, not per component
Front-service modules on magnetic carriers: one dead module comes off with a suction tool, no need to open the shell or hire a lift
Load ring, eight-point rigging and a stamped connection detail are included in the drawing package
Max draw is 201.1 kW at 1,000 W/m² — we size the distribution board and the cable runs from this figure, not from a rule of thumb
Eight metres is 50 m² of outdoor surface at up to 1,000 W/m² — about 50 kW of connected load. The electrical design, not the cabinet, is what decides the schedule on builds this size.

FAQ
Practical questions
What resolution does a 8 m sphere give at P5?
5,027 × 2,514 px, about 12,637,878 pixels in total. The horizontal count is the circumference (25.13 m) divided by 5 mm; the vertical count is half that, because a sphere maps as a 2:1 equirectangular image.
How much does a 8 m LED sphere weigh?
Around 3.6 t for the screen and shell together, assuming 18 kg per m² of surface. That is an estimate for early structural conversations — the final figure comes from the shell design and we issue it with the drawing set.
Can it be built in a different diameter?
Yes. Anything from 0.8 m to 20 m is quoted from a drawing; the sizes on this page are the ones with existing tooling, which is why they are cheaper and faster. An odd diameter means a new mould set, and that shows up as a separate line in the quotation.
