Choose the right LED ticker display

Four ranges, one job: a band of light that reads from where people stand. Pick indoor or outdoor, straight or curved, then the height and the pitch.

The four ranges

Indoor

DX Series, 250 × 250 mm modules at 1.9, 2.5, 2.6, 2.9, 3.1, 3.9 and 5.9 mm. 800 nits and more. Front serviceable, die-cast aluminium, 47 mm deep, with seamless right-angle corners. The standard choice for receptions, bars, trading floors and club shops. → Indoor LED tickers

Outdoor

DVO Series, 480 × 240 mm modules in 960 × 960 mm cabinets at 6, 8 and 16 mm. 6,000 nits and more, IP65 front. For facades, forecourts and anything read in daylight. For a ticker behind glass, the DX HB range at 3,000 nits and more. → Outdoor LED tickers

Curved and halo

A flexible 250 mm band at 2, 2.5 or 3 mm that bends around columns, corners and rings. Halos above a turntable, ribbons round a reception, a continuous loop round an entrance. → Curved and halo LED tickers

Ticker tape

The finance and news ribbon: a long, low band along a wall or a ceiling line scrolling prices, headlines and scores from Dynamo Ticker software. → LED ticker tape displays

How to choose

Where will it be read from? The nearest reader sets the pitch. Desks two to three metres away want 1.9 to 2.5 mm. A pavement a few metres back reads 3 mm. Across a hall or a street, 3.9 mm and up. The size and pitch guide has the table.

How tall? 250 mm is the standard band: tall enough for a logo tile and two lines of text at a 1.9 mm pitch, slim enough to sit in a ceiling line. Taller bands are built from the same modules in 250 mm steps.

How long? Any length. Tickers are built from cabinets, so a 4 m window strip and an 80 m trading-floor loop use the same parts. Corners can be rigid right angles or a flexible curve.

Indoors or out? Indoor modules run at 800 nits and more. Behind a shop window facing the sun, use DX HB at 3,000 nits and more. Outside, DVO at 6,000 nits and more with an IP65 front.
