Absen SA2.6-R vs INFiLED IRDBmk2 2.6 Lite
2.6 mm against 2.6 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets
Side-by-side specifications, then the same wall built from each tile — so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs rather than in marketing copy.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile — 8.00 × 4.50 m and 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.
What the numbers say
- Both resolve to about the same density — 147,456 and 147,456 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
- INFiLED IRDBmk2 2.6 Lite is the lighter rig: 32 kg/m² against 36 kg/m². Across this wall that is 344 kg of difference — 1,352 kg versus 1,696 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
- INFiLED IRDBmk2 2.6 Lite draws more: 600 W/m² against 480 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 17.3 kW versus 21.6 kW, and 7 versus 8 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
- Data is lighter on Absen SA2.6-R: 11 runs against 16, at 28 and 14 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
- Different cabinet formats: 250 × 500 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 288 tiles versus 144 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
- Estimated truck space: 6 m for INFiLED IRDBmk2 2.6 Lite against 11.3 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
