Outdoor LED screens
Outdoor LED screens built for sun, rain and dust.
Outdoor LED displays need to stay readable in direct sunlight and keep working through the monsoon, heat and dust. We plan high-brightness, weather-rated LED screens and their structures for sites across India.
Why outdoor LED
Visible in daylight. Reliable through every season.
Outdoor LED screens are built with higher-brightness LEDs, sealed modules and weather-rated cabinets. They replace static flex hoardings with content that can change by the hour and be updated remotely.
A good outdoor installation is about more than the screen. The structure, wind loading, earthing, power protection and ventilation decide how long it lasts. We plan these together with the display.
Daylight brightness
Outdoor modules typically deliver 5,000 nits or more, so content stays readable in direct sun.
Weather protection
IP65-rated cabinets are sealed against dust and water jets for the monsoon and dusty roadsides.
Automatic dimming
Light sensors lower the brightness at night, saving power and avoiding glare for viewers nearby.
Remote content updates
Change campaigns, offers and announcements from a computer or phone without visiting the site.
Where it fits
Outdoor LED applications.
Viewing distance and mounting height decide the right pitch and cabinet type.
- 01
Digital billboards & DOOH hoardings
Roadside and junction LED billboards that rotate several advertisers on one screen.
- 02
Building facades & rooftops
Large-format screens that turn a commercial building into a landmark and an advertising asset.
- 03
Storefronts & showroom exteriors
Bright, close-viewed screens at entrances to promote offers and new arrivals to passers-by.
- 04
Mall exteriors & entrances
Facade and entrance screens that announce events, brands and promotions to arriving traffic.
- 05
Stadiums, sports grounds & campuses
Scoreboards, replays and announcements for sports venues, colleges and large institutions.
- 06
Fuel stations, transit hubs & temples
Information, offers and live relay for high-footfall public places.
Planned for Indian conditions
What makes an outdoor screen last.
Most outdoor LED problems come from the site, not the screen. We plan for these from the first survey.
- 01
Heat & ventilation
Cabinet design and airflow are chosen to manage summer heat and the heat the screen produces.
- 02
Monsoon & dust
IP-rated front and rear protection, sealed connectors and drainage around the structure.
- 03
Structure & wind load
Steel structure and anchoring are planned for the screen weight, height and local wind conditions.
- 04
Power quality & earthing
Stabilisers, surge protection and proper earthing protect the electronics from fluctuations and lightning.
- 05
Approvals & access
Advertising screens may need municipal or landlord approval. We provide the technical details you need for the application.
- 06
Maintenance access
Front or rear service access is planned so modules can be replaced without dismantling the screen.
Choosing a pixel pitch
Outdoor pixel pitch at a glance.
Outdoor screens are usually seen from further away, so they use larger pitches than indoor walls.
| Pixel pitch | Typical viewing distance | Typical outdoor use |
|---|---|---|
| P3 – P4 | About 4 – 8 m | Storefronts, entrances, close-viewed outdoor screens |
| P5 – P6 | About 6 – 15 m | Mall exteriors, building facades, campuses |
| P8 – P10 | About 10 – 30 m | Roadside billboards, stadiums, large facades |
| P16 and above | 30 m and beyond | Highway hoardings and very long-distance viewing |
General guidelines only. Final pitch depends on viewing distance, screen size, content and budget, and is confirmed after the site survey.
How we work
From site survey to switched on.
Every LED project follows five practical stages, planned around your site and timeline.
- 01
Site survey & brief
We look at the wall or structure, viewing distances, ambient light, power and how the screen will be used.
- 02
Pitch & size recommendation
We recommend pixel pitch, screen size, brightness and an indoor or outdoor build that suits the location and budget.
- 03
Structure, power & control
We plan the mounting structure, electrical load, video processor, controller and the content system.
- 04
Installation & calibration
Cabinets are installed, aligned and calibrated for uniform colour and brightness, then connected to your sources.
- 05
Handover & support
We test the system with your team, show how to update content and agree service support for the project.
FAQ
LED display questions, answered.
How bright should an outdoor LED screen be?
For screens in direct sunlight, outdoor LED displays typically use 5,000 nits or more. Shaded or semi-outdoor locations can use lower brightness. Automatic dimming reduces brightness at night.
Are outdoor LED screens waterproof?
Outdoor cabinets are commonly rated IP65, meaning they are dust-tight and protected against water jets. The structure, cabling and drainage also need to be planned for the monsoon.
What pixel pitch is used for outdoor LED billboards?
Roadside billboards often use P8 to P10, facades P5 to P6, and close-viewed storefront screens P3 to P4. The right choice depends on the nearest and typical viewing distances.
Do I need permission to install an outdoor LED advertising screen?
Advertising displays usually need approval from the local municipal authority and the property owner. Rules vary by city. We provide the technical specifications and structural details needed for the application.
Can I update the content remotely?
Yes. Outdoor screens are usually connected to a controller that supports remote content upload and scheduling over the internet.
Do you install outdoor LED screens across India?
Yes. We take on outdoor LED projects across India, with site surveys and structural planning arranged for each location.
