LED Light Displays
LED signs and digital displays for Northern Ireland business
LED gets a business seen after dark and lets the message change without a new sign every time. We supply, install and maintain LED signage and digital display screens: illuminated letters, LED light boxes, scrolling message displays and full digital screens.
LED Light Displays
LED signs, digital display screens and illuminated displays.
We treat it as a sign first and a screen second. That means it is surveyed, mounted, wired and weatherproofed the same way our other signage is, and there is someone local to call when it needs attention.
LED signs are the standard now for anything that has to read after dark: halo lit built-up letters, edge lit fascias and illuminated trough lighting, all made in Mallusk. Digital signage is a screen you change from a laptop rather than a printed panel you replace, and we supply the LED display screen, the mounting, the power and the media player behind it.
What we do
LED Light Displays, made and fitted by us
Illuminated LED letters and logos
Built-up letters with face-lit, halo-lit or side-lit LED, in aluminium or acrylic, wired and tested before installation.
LED light boxes
Slim edge-lit and back-lit boxes for fascias, projecting signs and interior displays, with changeable printed faces.
Digital display screens
Indoor and window-facing digital screens for menus, offers and property listings, bright enough to read through glass in daylight.
Estate agency window displays
Illuminated and digital window displays for agency windows, so listings can change without reprinting every card.
Installation and maintenance
Mounting, electrical connection, commissioning and ongoing maintenance, from a workshop twenty minutes from Belfast.
How the job runs
Survey to sign-off, one team
-
Survey and brightness
We look at where the display is going and what light hits it. A screen that is bright enough on an interior wall will be unreadable in a south-facing window at two in the afternoon. Getting the specification wrong here is the single most common LED mistake.
-
Power and data
We check what power is available and how content will get to the screen. A digital display needs a supply and a way to update it, and neither should be an afterthought at installation.
-
Build and burn-in
Letters, trays and boxes are fabricated and wired in Mallusk, then left running before they ship. LED failures are nearly always early failures, and we would rather find them on our bench.
-
Installation and commissioning
Mounted, wired, weather-sealed and commissioned. Timers or photocells are set so a fascia is lit when it earns its keep rather than all night.
-
Maintenance
We installed it, so we maintain it. Being twenty minutes from Belfast means a fault is a visit rather than a courier and a wait.
Pricing
What drives the price
Illuminated built-up letters cost more than a flat fascia and less than most people expect, because the LED itself has become cheap. The cost is in the fabrication of the letters and the labour to fit and wire them.
Digital screens are the opposite: the screen is the expensive part, and the price is driven almost entirely by brightness and size. A high brightness window-facing screen costs several times an ordinary indoor panel of the same size, and there is no way around that if it has to be read through glass in daylight.
Common questions
- What does an LED sign cost to run?
- Very little. LED illumination draws a fraction of what the old fluorescent and neon signage did, and most fascia installations run on a timer or a photocell so they are only lit when they earn their keep.
- Can a digital screen be read through a shop window in daylight?
- Only if it is a high brightness window-facing screen. A standard indoor television will wash out completely. We specify screens by the brightness the position actually needs.
- Do you maintain LED displays after installation?
- Yes. We install them, so we maintain them. Being twenty minutes from Belfast means a fault is a visit rather than a courier.
