LED video wall viewing angle: why it matters where people look at your display from
The viewing angle is the angle within which a LED video wall still delivers half its nominal brightness. Choose it wrongly and your image looks washed out and colour-shifted from the edge of the pavement or from the side tables.
LED poster pixel pitch: P1.5, P2 or P2.5 - which one do you need?
The pixel pitch of a LED poster is decided by one question: from how close will it be viewed? The difference between P1.5, P2 and P2.5 is not better and worse but how many metres away the image comes together, from where it is comfortable to view, and how much information fits legibly onto one surface.
Portable LED poster: folding stand or flight case?
Two portable LED posters give the same picture, yet you pay quite differently for them by the end of the first season - and the difference is not in the display but in how it travels. On one build the base folds or comes off and the poster travels flat in a soft bag. On the other, the same rigid poster gets a padded, wheeled case.
The advertising sign production process: five builds, five different routes
On paper, making advertising signage is always the same seven stages; in practice it is five different routes. A printed shopfront panel, a light box sign, a channel letter set, a programmable LED sign and an outdoor full-colour surface branch off at different points: each asks something different of you as input, and the regulatory stage enters at a different place.
LED module datasheet markings: what P5, SMD1921, 1/8 scan and HUB75 mean
A LED module datasheet lists ten or fifteen lines of numbers and abbreviations one under the other: P5, SMD1921, 320 x 160 x 18 mm, 1/8 scan, IP65, HUB75, 4.5-5 V, 14 bit, 271 W/m². These are not marketing labels but technical parameters, and once you can read them you can decide in minutes whether a module suits your site.
Sending card versus receiving card: asynchronous or synchronous system?
Control of a synchronous LED wall is split between two pieces of hardware: the sending card takes the image at the signal-source end, and the receiving card distributes it among the modules behind the panels - while an asynchronous card replaces both, because it plays back from its own memory. The control side is the cheapest part of the wall to get wrong.
LED illuminated sign technologies: light box sign, channel letters or LED matrix?
A LED illuminated sign is not one product but the collective name for three sharply different technologies: the light box sign, the channel letter set and the LED matrix. All three light up, all three go on a facade, but they do completely different things, consume differently and cost money on completely different logic.
Making a business sign step by step: from survey to installation
Making a business sign takes eight steps, and for an outdoor, illuminated sign that requires a planning notification, typically 4-8 weeks pass between order and installation. The longest item is often not manufacture but artwork approval and preparing the notification.
What does an illuminated business sign cost? The price, item by item
The price of an illuminated business sign is not one number but the sum of nine separate items - and the most expensive items are often not on the sign itself. This article works through what costs money when an illuminated business sign is made, from the size through the support structure to the electrical connection.
Channel letters or a light box sign? A decision guide for business signage
Two quotations arrive for the same facade, and they cannot be compared: one prices per letter, the other per square metre. That is not a pricing trick but a consequence of how the two technologies are made - and it is exactly the difference from which the right decision can be derived.
Designing a bespoke neon sign: typeface, size, fixing and power supply
When you order a bespoke neon sign, four decisions absorb all the money and all the frustration: which typeface becomes tubing, how large the sign should be, what it is fixed to and how, and where it gets its power. The four are connected - the typeface sets the minimum size, the size sets the consumption.
Outdoor business sign materials: aluminium composite, acrylic face, fixings and real service life
An outdoor business sign rarely just 'wears out'. Far more often one specific cause finishes it off: the print has faded, the acrylic face has cracked from thermal expansion, the wrong screw has drawn a rust streak, or moisture has got into the illuminated box and destroyed the power supply. Every one of these comes down to material choice and workmanship.
LED neon or traditional glass neon tube? Consumption, lifespan, repairability
An illuminated shop-window sign can today be built from two technologies that look almost identical: hand-bent glass neon tube, or LED neon flex profile. From the outside the difference is barely visible; in the installation drawing, the service log and, to a lesser extent, the electricity bill, it is anything but.
