Lightweight Outdoor LED Cabinet Built from Magnesium Alloy
The Magnesium Series is StarLED's outdoor LED display built on a die-cast magnesium alloy cabinet measuring 960 × 960 mm. Magnesium alloy is 20 to 30% lighter than aluminium at equivalent structural thickness while delivering superior heat dissipation. For Dubai large-format installations where rigging weight, crane capacity, and transport cost are significant budget items, this weight reduction directly reduces project cost.
Compatible with six outdoor pixel pitches from P3 to P10 using 320 × 160 mm modules in a 3 × 6 arrangement per cabinet. Built-in protection covers overheat, overload, leakage, over-current, over-voltage, and lightning-proof protection. Stocked in Dubai with no import lead time.
- 20 to 30% lighter than aluminium — lower crane and rigging costs
- 12.9 kg frame / 29.7 kg complete per cabinet
- Superior heat dissipation for Dubai's 40°C ambient
- Less than 0.6 mm flatness — seamless joins on large screens
- 6 pitches P3-P10 — one cabinet for every outdoor scale
How Magnesium Reduces Dubai Outdoor LED Project Costs
For projects measuring 30 m² or more, the choice between magnesium and aluminium has a direct effect on three cost lines. First, crane and rigging: a 50 m² display from Magnesium Series cabinets weighs hundreds of kilograms less, which can eliminate the need for a heavy-lift crane. Second, transport: more units per vehicle at 29.7 kg. Third, heat management: magnesium's higher thermal conductivity reduces brightness throttling during Dubai's peak summer operation.
- 8 built-in protection circuits as standard
- Hinge-access rear panel — service without dismantling
- Lock mechanism prevents unauthorized access on public sites
- Video sync and real-time display control across all cabinets

Why Dubai Buyers Specify the Magnesium Series
12.9 kg frame vs 18-22 kg aluminium. On a 50 m² installation across 57 cabinets, the weight saving determines crane category and reduces project cost.
Magnesium conducts heat faster than aluminium. Reduces thermal stress on LEDs in Dubai's 40°C ambient. Maintains brightness consistency through summer.
Less than 0.6 mm tolerance across the full 960 × 960 mm face. 57 cabinets present a uniformly flat display surface with no visible seams.
Overheat, overload, leakage, over-current, over-voltage, lightning-proof. Autonomous fault response on unattended Dubai outdoor installations.
Hinge-access rear panel for fast module service. Lock prevents unauthorized opening on public outdoor sites. Faster service than bolted-rear cabinets.
Content changes propagate simultaneously to all cabinets. No visible lag between panels. For multi-screen advertising networks across Dubai properties.
Choose Your Pixel Pitch Configuration
All pitches share the 960 × 960 mm cabinet with 320 × 160 mm modules in a 3 × 6 arrangement. Choose based on viewing distance.

Watch the Magnesium Series Installation in Dubai
From cabinet unloading to rigging, alignment, and commissioning. StarLED's in-house team handles every Magnesium Series install across the UAE — captured on-site.
Magnesium Series Applications Across the UAE
50 m² from 57 cabinets at 29.7 kg each. Lower total load means lighter structural steel and lower project cost.
Lighter cabinets reduce rigging equipment, labour hours, and transport vehicles for each event build and de-rig.
Lower per-cabinet weight reduces building facade loading. Simplifies Dubai Municipality structural permit submission.
12.9 kg frame fits structures with defined load limits. Hotel canopies, covered walkways, overhead structures.
Lighter mounting structure. Faster install/removal between event seasons. Lightning-proof option for exposed locations.
Lower dead load reduces billboard pole and foundation steel specification. Lower total civil cost of the advertising structure.
