Outdoor LED Advertising That Stays Visible, Reliable and Easy to Manage

An outdoor LED advertising screen has to stay readable in direct sunlight, keep running through rain, heat and wind, and let you change content without sending someone to the site. We supply IP65 outdoor LED displays matched to the viewing distance and conditions of each location, from close-range storefront signs to large building facades and roadside LED billboards.

Outdoor LED Advertising Challenges and How We Solve Them

Five problems every outdoor advertising screen has to deal with, and what we build into our displays to handle each one.


CHALLENGE

Sunlight washes out the image

A dim screen disappears at the time of day when traffic is highest.

OUR SOLUTION

High brightness with automatic dimming

Our outdoor modules reach 4,500 to 10,000 nits (cd/m²), depending on the model. Light sensors lower the brightness at night to save power and avoid glare.

How many nits do you need? →

CHALLENGE

Weather causes failures

Rain, dust, heat and humidity are the main causes of outdoor screen breakdowns.

OUR SOLUTION

IP65 protection and 72-hour aging test

All recommended outdoor models are IP65 rated for rain and dust. Every screen goes through a 72-hour aging test before shipment.

CHALLENGE

Maintenance is expensive

Every service visit to a facade or roadside sign may need lifts or road access.

OUR SOLUTION

Front maintenance options

Front-service designs let modules be replaced from the front, cutting installation depth and service costs on facades and signs with no rear access.

CHALLENGE

Content is hard to update

Advertisers expect fast changes, often across several screens in different locations.

OUR SOLUTION

Remote content management

Connect your screens to a cloud-based control system and update content and schedules from anywhere, for one screen or a whole network.

CHALLENGE

The structure must be safe

Large screens on buildings and poles have to handle their own weight and wind load.

OUR SOLUTION

Structural planning support

We provide cabinet weights, dimensions and mounting details so your engineer can design a safe steel structure for the building or pole.

Outdoor LED Advertising Solutions by Application

Different locations need different screens. Here is how we match pixel pitch, brightness and format to each type of outdoor advertising site.


Building Facade LED Advertising Screens

Facade screens are viewed from tens of metres away, so a fine pixel pitch is rarely needed. The priorities are structural safety, the load on the building, and maintenance access.

Recommended pitch: P5 or P6.66 for most projects; P8 or P10 for very large facades

Brightness: 5,500–6,000 nits

Typical format: Large single-sided screens, often front-serviced

Roadside LED Billboards and Totems

Drivers pass a roadside LED billboard in seconds, so text and images must be readable at a glance, even in full sun. Brightness and wind resistance come first.

Recommended pitch: P5 as the standard choice; P4 for sharper images

Brightness: 6,000–7,000 nits

Typical format: Single- or double-sided totems, pylon signs and highway LED billboards

Storefront LED Advertising Screens

Storefront screens and signs are seen by pedestrians from a few metres away, so image detail matters more than maximum brightness. Space is usually limited, and the screen has to suit the look of the shop front.

Recommended pitch: P2.976 or P3.91 for close viewing; P4 for tighter budgets; P6.66 for large billboards seen from across the street

Brightness: 4,500–5,500 nits

Typical format: Shopfront screens, double-sided blade signs and pharmacy crosses

Quick Selection Guide

Start with the viewing distance at your site, then match the pixel pitch and brightness.

APPLICATION VIEWING DISTANCE PIXEL PITCH RECOMMENDED BRIGHTNESS (NITS)
Building facade Long (tens of metres or more) P5 / P6.66 5,500–6,000
Roadside billboard / totem Medium to long, fast-moving traffic P4 / P5 6,000–7,000
Storefront Short (a few metres to around 15 m) P2.976 / P3.91 / P4 4,500–5,500

P8 and P10 suit very large facades viewed from longer distances. Recommended brightness depends on direct sunlight, viewing distance, local lighting and applicable regulations. All models are IP65 rated. Not sure which pitch fits your site? Read What Is Pixel Pitch? →

Frequently Asked Questions

What pixel pitch is best for an outdoor LED advertising screen?

It depends on the viewing distance. P2.976, P3.91 or P4 suits storefronts viewed from a few metres away, P4 or P5 suits roadside billboards, and P5 or P6.66 suits large building facades, with P8 or P10 for very large ones.

How bright should an outdoor LED billboard be?

For our recommended applications, 4,500–5,500 nits is enough for storefronts, 5,500–6,000 nits for building facades, and 6,000–7,000 nits for roadside billboards in strong sunlight. Our outdoor models reach up to 10,000 nits, and automatic dimming lowers the brightness at night.

Can the screens handle rain and heat?

Yes. All recommended outdoor models are IP65 rated and designed for long-term outdoor operation, and every screen goes through a 72-hour aging test before shipment.

Do you offer custom screen sizes?

Yes. Screens are built from standard cabinets, so the overall size can be matched to your site. The Outdoor Fixed series also offers custom cabinets of 1500 mm width and 500 / 750 mm height.

Can I choose front or rear maintenance?

Yes. The Outdoor Fixed series supports both front and rear maintenance, while the Front-Service series is fully front-maintained, which suits building facades and sites with no rear access.

Can I update the content remotely?

Yes. Screens can be connected to a cloud-based control system that lets you change content and schedules from anywhere, for one screen or a whole network.

Do you offer double-sided LED billboards?

Yes. Double-sided screens are common for totems, pylon signs and storefront blade signs.
