With the sparsest pixel pitch of all, the P8 160×224 cm outdoor LED message sign is designed expressly to be read from a long way off, beyond 8–10 metres, along main roads and motorways. Its brightness exceeds 4,200 cd/m², and consumption on a full white image is typically 280–330 W. It is the best value-for-money member of the product family for anyone looking for a large, striking advertisement visible from a distance, without paying for pixel density their viewing distance makes unnecessary. Content can be uploaded from a Wi-Fi mobile app with no PC. With an IP65 front rating and a 100,000-hour LED service life it runs dependably in industrial environments too.
Outdoor full-colour LED message sign 160×224 cm (P8)
The 160×224 cm P8 panel is the outdoor message sign in our range with the sparsest pixel layout and therefore the best price. We recommend it expressly for locations where viewers catch sight of the display at speed, from a motorway or main road, at a considerable distance. In those conditions the large pixel pitch is no drawback, since from that distance the eye can no longer distinguish it from the denser layouts. It is characterised by a robust build designed entirely for outdoor and industrial environments, running stably in dust, precipitation and temperature swings.

When long distance is the most important consideration
The P8 pixel pitch is ideal for businesses whose premises stand beside a main road, a motorway approach or a busy industrial zone, and whose target audience typically passes the display from more than 10 metres away, often from a car and at relatively high speed. In those conditions the denser, more expensive pixel layouts have no perceptible advantage, since from that distance the eye can no longer tell the fineness of P3, P4 or P5 from P8. That makes the P8 panel the best value for money for those who want a large, recognisable advertisement visible from far away, deliberately not overpaying for a pixel density their viewing distance would not let them use. The 160×224 cm size is enough for a simple logo or strapline in large lettering to be clearly visible from as far as 20–30 metres.
The better price is about the audience, not the quality
It matters not to confuse P8 with the cheap no-name products many buyers fear: the better unit price here comes from having to fit fewer LED dots and simpler electronics into a given surface, not from using lower-quality components. Into the modules we fit the same quality-controlled SMD LED chips from a single production batch as in the denser builds, with the same service backing and spare-parts stock behind them.
Toughness designed for industrial environments
The panel's aluminium housing and IP65-rated front film hold their own in demanding, industrial environments, resisting dust, precipitation and temperature swings. The high brightness, above 4,200 cd/m², ensures the content stays clearly visible in direct sunlight, even in strong afternoon light, while the automatic brightness control reduces the intensity at night. Because of the refresh rate above 2,880 Hz, the image stays free of flicker even seen from a car, in motion. Through Wi-Fi control and the mobile app the content can also be changed remotely, and the timer function automates switching on and off, cutting the running cost.
Consumption and long-term operation
On a full white image consumption is typically around 280–330 W, distinctly moderate for a surface this large and this visible from a distance. The 100,000-hour expected service life of the LEDs guarantees years of trouble-free, maintenance-free operation even under industrial use of 16–18 hours a day. If a module does fail, the repair is carried out with our own service backing from regional spare-parts stock – there is no waiting weeks with a dark patch at the entrance to a site.
Typical applications
Outdoor full-colour LED message sign 160×224 cm (P8) — frequently asked questions
Why choose P8 instead of the denser layouts?
If the display is typically viewed from a long distance, from a car, P8 gives just as striking an image, clearly readable from afar, as the more expensive, denser layouts, at a significantly better price.
What is the minimum recommended viewing distance for a P8 display?
It is best viewed from at least 8–10 metres or more; below that the pixel raster starts to become perceptible.
Is this size suitable for advertising beside a main road or motorway?
Yes, that is expressly what we recommend it for: the combination of high brightness and a large pixel pitch keeps the content clearly readable from a distance, even at speed.
Does the better price mean this is a cheap, lower-quality board?
No. The better price comes from the sparser pixel layout, not from chip quality: we fit the same quality-controlled LEDs from a single production batch as in the denser builds.
How much does this panel consume in a month?
On a full white image consumption is around 280–330 W, a moderate running cost for a large surface visible from a distance.
Who repairs it if a module fails in an industrial environment?
Our service backing and regional spare-parts stock guarantee that only the affected module has to be replaced – the whole board does not have to come down or be sent abroad.
