  • This was one of the most fun construction projects that we've done yet - building two LED billboards/signs from scratch! Follow along with us as we got city approval, designed the LED signs and structural components, poured the footings, fabricated the steel, lifted them into place with cranes, bored in the conduit, wired them up, and connected the fiber optics.

    Don't suppose you'd disclose how much that cost. I'm going to guess close to a million, depending on your location. I'm also curious as to the projected return on investment.

      The actual LED panels and cabinets are in the 75-100k range (thats their cost not consumer) Depending on fidelity , refresh rate Etc.

If you're the owner of a company, it's not always about squeezing the last nickle of profit out. You want to enjoy what you're doing. At the end of the day, that's what's important.

    I might be wrong I was tought the more moisture and slower concrete dries the stronger and that is what I was told doing bridges so I will not argue but we use to go spray cement every day for Day or 2 after poor to make it super hard

      I think that's to keep cracks from forming by slowing down the cure at the surface. It's not adding moisture much below it, obviously.

    Why can't cell phone manufacturers make the screen from the sane material on these billboards??? The major problem of current phones is that they're impossible to see clearly in bright light...

      Many LED signs are made with a mother board in gel encased in a plastic frame with a plastic louver around the LEDs. The allusion is that it is one smooth panel. Much like a Light bright toy, it looks great far away but not up close. The LEDs used are the same size as Christmas lights and you don’t want to touch them or you will mess up the display.💕♥️❤️
