We build and fit permanent LED walls at our workshop in Győr and deliver them to Grosuplje as a scheduled job. The road distance is 421 kilometres, which puts the town outside same-day reach: a fitting visit is planned with a preparation day and overnight accommodation for the crew, and the hours on site are written down before anyone sets off. What follows are the four technical decisions we ask you to take with us - grid, pitch, brightness, signal - and the two commercial ones that follow from the length of the journey.
LED wall in Grosuplje — manufacturing, installation, quote
Grosuplje empties in the morning and refills in the evening, and that rhythm decides where a permanent screen earns its keep. The station rebuilt in 2021 and 2022, with its island platforms and two underpasses, is the point where the Grosuplje-Kočevje branch leaves the Ljubljana-Novo mesto-Metlika line, and a large share of the working population crosses it twice a day. The town counted 7 501 residents in 2022, but the number that matters to a display buyer is smaller and sharper: how many people stand still, and for how long, at Adamičeva cesta, at the Brvace retail parade, on the platforms, or in the Brinje sports hall on Ljubljanska cesta. This page looks at the town only as a mounting site for fixed LED.
The 32-centimetre grid behind every finished size
Why the panel is always landscape
A module measures 32 centimetres across and 16 centimetres from top to bottom, and it is never turned on its end. A wall therefore grows in 32 cm steps sideways and 16 cm steps upward, and the finished size is whatever those steps add up to. A screen for the foyer of the Kulturni dom at Adamičeva cesta 16 would be drawn as, for instance, nine modules by seven - 288 by 112 centimetres - rather than as a tidy three metres that the grid cannot deliver. So we ask for the clear opening first and quote afterwards. Where the wall leaves an odd remainder the frame and the surrounding cladding absorb it; we do not cut panels to make a drawing work. Sorting this out on paper costs an email, and sorting it out on site costs a day of two fitters who have travelled 421 kilometres to be there.
Pixel pitch for a station concourse and a sports hall
Reading distance sets the number
Pitch is chosen from the closest regular viewer, not the furthest. A screen people read while queueing at a counter or waiting a metre away on a platform belongs in the P1.5 to P2.5 band. A hall like Brinje, where the nearest spectators are eight or ten metres from the surface and the far end of the court is thirty, sits comfortably at P2.5 to P4. Anything read from a passing carriageway on Ljubljanska cesta, or across an open forecourt, belongs at P4 to P8. A pitch finer than the sightline needs does nothing except raise the pixel count and the invoice. A pitch coarser than it needs is visible on the first day and cannot be repaired afterwards. We settle the figure against a tape measure taken at the position, and we would rather take that measurement than accept a guess.
Daylight ratings and the case against an oversized facade screen
Where the honest answer is no
An exterior build is rated IP65 and runs at 4500 to 5500 nits, because a south-facing wall competes with the sky. An interior build is rated for a room and is specified in the high hundreds of nits; installing an outdoor cabinet indoors is not a bonus specification, it is a glare complaint waiting to happen. There is a second answer we give often in Grosuplje, and it is no. A large facade screen aimed at the traffic heading for the motorway slip road buys you drivers who have already decided where they are going, and it asks you to compete with screens in Ljubljana that are twenty minutes up the same road and vastly better funded. The money usually works harder indoors, where people are stationary, or on a modest sign at eye level. If your brief is reach at any cost, we will tell you that a wall here is the wrong instrument.
The rolling LED poster as an alternative to scaffolding
A display that needs no fitter at all
The LED poster is an upright digital placard on a wheeled base. Its image area is 640 by 1920 millimetres on a frame standing 201 centimetres tall, which is roughly the footprint of the printed roll-up it replaces, and it is delivered ready to run: wheel it in, plug it into a socket, and it works. There is no scaffold, no cherry picker, no facade fixing and no structural opinion to obtain, because nothing is attached to the building. At 421 kilometres that difference is commercial, not cosmetic. A mounted wall means a survey visit, a preparation day and fitters staying overnight; a poster means a delivery and an afternoon of your own staff learning the playlist. For a pharmacy on Adamičeva cesta, a bank counter, a unit in the Brvace parade or the ticket foyer at the station, it is very often the whole answer rather than a compromise.
Signal routing over Wi-Fi, HDMI and a scheduled playlist
What reaches the screen, and how
There are two ways to feed a wall and they are not interchangeable. A live source - a laptop, a camera, a scoreboard feed in the Brinje hall - comes in over HDMI and needs a cable run planned while the wall is still open. Everything else can be scheduled: a playlist uploaded over the network or from a stick, replayed on a timetable, changed from an office. The scheduled path is reachable over Wi-Fi, so a screen in a tenanted unit does not need a data cable chased through someone else's ceiling. That matters in older stock along Taborska cesta, where the municipal offices sit at number 1 and where drilling a route through a shared wall is a negotiation rather than a task. Tell us at the drawing stage which of the two you actually need; retro-fitting a live input to a finished wall is the one change that genuinely hurts.
421 kilometres, a shared journey with the capital, and the quotation
What the offer itemises
Because Grosuplje sits about twenty kilometres from Ljubljana, a job here can share a trip with work in the capital, and where the calendar allows it we say so and price it that way. On its own, a Grosuplje installation is a two-day visit: travel and preparation on the first day, fitting and commissioning on the second, with the crew staying overnight. Travel and the fitters' subsistence appear on the quotation as their own lines, with the kilometres named, and are never folded into the price of the wall - you should be able to see exactly what the distance costs you and decide whether to change the scope. The warranty term is one or two years depending on the build, and the crate that arrives already contains spare modules; they are part of the delivery, not an upsell. On permissions we make no promises: rules exist for facade work and for anything visible from the public road, and our part is to supply the technical annexes your designer or the authority asks for.
