1. Current Sign Overview and Opportunities for Improvement

The Tecumseh Center for the Arts (TCA) relies on static monument signage along the road to communicate with its community. However, static signs can pose challenges in delivering timely and engaging updates. Upgrading to a dynamic EMC (Electronic Message Center) sign offers several key benefits:

  • Dynamic Messaging: Display show schedules, special events, and community announcements in real time.
  • Enhanced Visibility: A programmable LED sign ensures your message stands out, day or night.
  • Efficient Communication: Reduce manual updates and manage content remotely with ease.

With this upgrade, the TCA can modernize its outreach, enhance its visual presence, and attract greater community engagement while ensuring effective communication about performances and events.

2. Proposed Solution

To maximize visibility and communication, we recommend the following solution for TCA’s new monument sign:

  • Install an 8x10 Feet Programmable LED Sign: A double-sided display ensures messages are visible from both directions on the road.
  • WiFi and Optional 4G Connectivity: Update your sign’s content remotely with convenience and efficiency.
  • Brightness Sensor: Automatically adjust brightness for optimal visibility throughout the day.
  • Customizable Content: Share dynamic messages such as show promotions, ticket sales, and community updates aligned with TCA’s mission and brand.

This solution will elevate TCA’s community engagement, improve visibility, and create a professional, modern image.

3. Comparable Project Showcase

Several nonprofit and government organizations have successfully upgraded to EMC signs from LED Sign City and experienced the change:

  • Before: Static signage that required manual updates, reducing efficiency and visibility.
  • After: Dynamic programmable LED signs that displayed real-time messages, increased public awareness, and improved the organization’s professional image.

Results include increased event attendance, higher engagement, and a stronger connection to the community.

Spotlight Series

Spotlight Series (P10) "Perfect for large digital billboards and highway signs, the Spotlight Series combines brightness and cost-efficiency to ensure your message is visible from over 100 feet away—even in direct sunlight."

 

Description:
The Spotlight Series is designed for large-scale billboard applications where high visibility is essential, even in direct sunlight. Its high-brightness LEDs ensure unmatched performance in outdoor environments, while the lower pixel density makes it ideal for larger displays. As the size increases, so does the effective resolution, making it perfect for highway billboards or elevated signage viewed from 100 feet or more. Recommended for sizes 5x10 feet and larger, the Spotlight Series provides a cost-effective solution for large, high-impact signs.

Beacon Series

Beacon Series (P8)"Enhance your storefront or mid-sized outdoor sign with the Beacon Series—offering 56% more pixels for sharp, vibrant images that captivate audiences 80 feet or more from the sign."

Description:

The Beacon Series is the ideal choice for mid-sized signs where enhanced resolution is essential for capturing attention. It features 56% more pixels per module than the Spotlight Series, delivering sharper, more vibrant visuals. Designed for signs 4x8 feet to 6x12 feet, this series balances brightness and pixel density, making it a versatile solution for storefront signage or signs installed at least 10 feet off the ground. If you need a smaller sign with a billboard-quality look, the Beacon Series is your go-to option.

Beacon HD Series

Beacon HD Series (P6) "Achieve stunning clarity with the Beacon HD Series—featuring a pixel-packed resolution for high-definition images, ideal for close-range viewing and compact digital displays."

 

Description:
The Beacon HD Series brings a professional-grade resolution to smaller and closer-viewed signs. Featuring a pixel density of 2,304 pixels per module, it provides exceptional clarity for audiences as close as 60 feet. With a recommended size range of 2x3 feet to 6x12 feet, this series is ideal for both compact signs and larger displays requiring crystal-clear visuals. The Beacon HD is perfect for high-resolution applications like community boards, pedestrian-facing signage, and close-range displays.

How More Pixels Enhance the Resolution of Your LED Sign

When it comes to creating eye-catching digital billboards and LED signs, more pixels mean better resolution—and better results. While all three series—Spotlight, Beacon, and Beacon HD—can be configured in the same physical size, such as a 4x8 sign, the number of pixels determines the detail and clarity of your content.

A Larger Canvas for More Engaging Ads
Think of pixels as the canvas for your design. With higher pixel density, your sign has the ability to display more detailed images, finer text, and additional content without losing clarity or readability. For example:

  • A Spotlight Series (P10) at 4x8 offers a reliable, straightforward resolution perfect for large, bold designs.
  • A Beacon Series (P8) at the same size packs 56% more pixels, making it ideal for more intricate graphics and dynamic layouts.
  • The Beacon HD Series (P6) takes it even further, providing a high-definition experience that allows for stunning clarity and detailed messaging.

Striking a Balance Between Clarity and Impact
While higher resolution gives you more creative freedom, less is often more in outdoor advertising—especially when targeting drivers. The added pixels allow for visually stunning content, but your message should remain concise and easy to understand in a few seconds.

The Advantage of Higher Resolution
Having a higher pixel count on the same size sign gives you an undeniable edge. Whether you’re showcasing product details, a promotional message, or your brand identity, the enhanced resolution ensures your ad is not only seen but remembered.

Invest in the Resolution That Drives Results
With more pixels, your sign becomes a powerful tool to create convincing, professional ads that capture attention and encourage action. The choice is clear—enhanced resolution means enhanced opportunities to connect with your audience.

The Role of Brightness in Creating Eye-Catching LED Signs

With brightness levels ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 NITS, every LED sign in our lineup is capable of standing out, even under direct sunlight. However, the optimal brightness for your sign depends on its location and how sunlight interacts with the screen. At LED Sign City, we ensure you get the right balance of brightness and resolution to achieve your desired results.

Brightness vs. Resolution: Finding the Sweet Spot

It’s easy to focus on resolution alone, believing that higher resolution always means better results. While resolution is important, brightness and resolution work together to create impactful visuals. Here’s what to consider:

  1. Larger Signs Don’t Require Ultra-High Resolution

    • Larger signs naturally add pixels as their size increases, compensating for lower resolution. For example, a Spotlight Series (P10) billboard can deliver exceptional results because, at larger sizes, the added rows and columns of pixels enhance the perceived resolution.
    • Additionally, distance matters: The further your audience is from the sign, the less noticeable the pixel pitch becomes, as your eyes naturally fill in the gaps between bulbs.

  2. Brightness Creates Visual Impact

    • Brightness is what makes a sign vibrant and noticeable. Many customers mistakenly believe they love the resolution of a sign, when in fact, it’s the brightness and how the colors pop that they’re complimenting.
    • Higher brightness ensures your sign stands out, especially in sunlit environments or locations with high ambient light.

The Reality of LED Billboards

For large digital billboards, resolution often takes a back seat to size and brightness. Most highway billboards are built using the Spotlight Series (P10) because at larger sizes, paying extra for additional pixels doesn’t yield significant benefits.

  • If you were to compare two side-by-side signs—one with a lower resolution and one with a higher resolution—you’d likely notice the difference up close.
  • However, if you only saw the lower-resolution sign, you’d still say, “Wow, that looks great!” because it’s big, bright, and designed for its specific application.

Why Brightness is the Real Star of the Show

Customers often describe the signs they love as “vibrant” or “eye-catching,” admiring how the colors pop and the screen grabs attention—even from a distance. This is where brightness plays a key role:

  • Brightness ensures visibility in varying sunlight conditions, making your sign stand out no matter where it’s located.
  • High brightness enhances color vibrancy, making your content more impactful and compelling.

Our Approach: Helping You Find the Right Balance

At LED Sign City, we’re not here to oversell you on specifications you don’t need. Instead, we work with you to identify the right combination of brightness, resolution, and size to achieve your desired outcome. Whether it’s a Spotlight Series billboard designed for maximum visibility or a high-resolution Beacon HD Series sign for closer audiences, we’ll guide you to the solution that gets results without unnecessary costs.

When you partner with us, you’re not just buying an LED sign—you’re investing in an effective way to connect with your audience.

Choosing the Right LED Sign for Your Use Case

Selecting the right LED sign depends on your specific needs, such as viewing distance, brightness, and the size of the display. To make it simple, we’ve outlined three key use cases—highway billboards, mid-sized storefronts, and close-range signage—along with the recommended series and their ideal applications.

1. Highway Billboards: Maximum Visibility for Long Distances

  • Recommended Series: Spotlight Series
  • Ideal Sizes: 5x10 feet and larger
  • Viewing Distance: 100 feet or more
  • Brightness Needs: Very High (10,000 NITS for PRO)

Highway billboards need to be seen from hundreds of feet away, often in bright sunlight. The Spotlight Series is designed for this purpose, offering exceptional brightness of up to 10,000 NITS in the PRO model to ensure visibility even under direct sunlight. With a pixel pitch of P10, the Spotlight Series is optimized for larger signs, where added size compensates for lower resolution. This balance makes it a cost-effective solution for massive displays without sacrificing impact.

2. Mid-Sized Storefronts: Sharper, Engaging Visuals

  • Recommended Series: Beacon Series
  • Ideal Sizes: 4x8 to 6x12 feet
  • Viewing Distance: 80 feet or more
  • Brightness Needs: High (8,500 NITS for PRO)

For mid-sized signs like storefront displays or business signage, the Beacon Series strikes the perfect balance between resolution and brightness. Its P8 pixel pitch offers 56% more pixels than the Spotlight Series, delivering sharper visuals that are ideal for engaging customers up close. With brightness levels of up to 8,500 NITS in the PRO model, your sign will remain vibrant and noticeable, even in challenging lighting conditions.

3. Close-Range Signage: High-Definition Clarity

  • Recommended Series: Beacon HD Series
  • Ideal Sizes: 2x3 to 6x12 feet
  • Viewing Distance: 60 feet or more
  • Brightness Needs: Moderate to High (8,500 NITS for PRO)

For smaller, close-range applications like community boards, pedestrian-facing signs, or compact digital billboards, the Beacon HD Series is the ultimate choice. Its P6 pixel pitch delivers unmatched clarity, packing 2,304 pixels per module for high-definition visuals. With this level of detail, your sign will stand out to audiences as close as 60 feet, making it ideal for locations where fine details and crystal-clear messaging are essential.

Finding the Perfect Fit

Each series is designed to meet specific needs:

  • The Spotlight Series delivers maximum impact for long-distance viewers, making it ideal for large billboards.
  • The Beacon Series offers the perfect blend of resolution and brightness for mid-sized, versatile applications.
  • The Beacon HD Series provides unparalleled detail for close-range signage, ensuring clarity for smaller displays.
