Daylight Led Displays
Daylight has a range of thousands of LED displays. The right choice depends on three questions: where will the display be placed (indoors, in a window or outdoors), where is the audience that reads it, and what content do you want to show? Filter below by placement and type, or read the full buying advice below the products.
Answer three short questions. We take you straight to the right display, no list to search yourself.
1 Where will the display be placed?
2 What do you mainly want to show?
3 From what distance must it be readable?
No problem, we determine the right character height and size together.

Choosing the right LED display
Where is the display placed?
Daylight Led Displays for outdoor placement must be able to withstand all weather conditions (wind, sun, rain, snow, hail, …). At night they must be dimmed, and in full sunlight they must be readable from a wide viewing angle. The series suitable for outdoor placement are the A8 and the Streetsmart.
Daylight Led Displays for indoor placement do not need to withstand these weather conditions and have a light output suited to artificial light. The following series are suitable for indoor placement: Beta-Brite, Alpha 220, Alpha 4000 RGB, Alpha 9000 RGB, PPD, W-Series and L-Series.
For window placement, light intensity is the most important difference from the displays for indoor placement. Displays for indoor placement are not sufficiently readable at the window in daylight or sunlight. The W-Series or Window Display is suitable for window placement. Of course, the A8 and Streetsmart outdoor displays are also suitable for window placement.
For industrial applications, stricter requirements apply to the housing, such as dust-tightness (IP52) and water-tightness (IP66). The Alpha 4000 RGB IP52 series is available in an industrial housing. The maintenance-free Streetsmart series for outdoor placement is also suitable for industrial applications because no external cooling is used.
Where is the audience located?
The position of the audience that will read the display is an important factor in choosing the right type. First, it determines the minimum and maximum reading distance, and that reading distance determines the right pixel pitch. Second, it also determines the viewing angle at which the display is read.
The table below helps you make a choice based on the position of the audience and the minimum and maximum viewing distance.
| Maximum viewing distance | Character height | Pixel pitch | Daylight Led Displays |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 meters | 18 mm | 2.5 mm | Personal Priority Display (PPD) |
| 17 meters | 35 mm | 5.0 mm | Alpha 9000 RGB series |
| 26 meters | 53 mm | 8.0 mm | Beta-Brite, 220, Alpha 4000 RGB, Alpha 9000 RGB and L-Series |
| 34 meters | 69 mm | 10.0 mm | Alpha 9000 RGB and L-Series (Full Color) |
| 38 meters | 76 mm | 11.4 mm | Alpha 9000 RGB and L-Series |
| 50 meters | 101 mm | 14.4 mm | W-Series |
| 62 meters | 124 mm | 17.0 mm | Streetsmart 17 mm (Red/Amber) |
What content do you want to show?
What kind of information do you want to show on the display? Is Full Color important, or is a tricolor or even single-color display sufficient? Do drawings and animations need to be shown, or is text enough? Do video images need to be shown? How many lines of text need to be shown at once?
If only text is shown, you can opt for character-matrix displays. If drawings or animations also need to be shown, a full-matrix display is necessary.
The choice of the right display is also determined by the way the content is supplied. Is the content entered manually or read automatically from other software, a database, a PLC, dry contacts, an infrared eye, …? This is partly determined by the choice of software, but also by the type of display.
