Digital LED Spheres – Anything is Possible

Posted on by

Anything is Possible: Digital LED Spheres

 

Here at LEDPros we really do believe that anything is possible, especially with LED technology.  As the days go by the value of LED technology is becoming increasingly evident due to the constant influx of new products into the market. Currently taking the market by storm are these new Digital LED Spheres we saw  at the LED Convention in China. These Digital LED Spheres illustrate just how rapidly the LED market is progressing and developing. The Digital LED Sphere has taken the ridged, flat LED panel of yesterday and revolutionized it to embody the 3D aesthetics of tomorrow.  With the emergence of Digital LED Spheres, flat LED signs have finally met their market competitor.

 

Customization: The Key to Endless Possibilities

 

LEDs are the most versatile message broadcasting devices currently available to us. Now, you may be wondering why this is. The versatility of LEDs all comes down to their ability to be easily customized and programmed. Their ability to be customized allows us to see inventions like the digital sphere and transparent LEDs. The Digital LED Sphere would be very difficult to manufacture with conventional lighting and digital technology. Currently, revolutional products like the Digital LED Sphere are rare in the North American market.  LEDPros sees this as an amazing opportunity to bridge the gap between the Asian and Western markets by introducing custom LED displays and configurations such as the digital sphere.

 

So, what can customization do for you?

The answer is: Anything.

UHD LED Screens – The Next Evolution

Posted on by

UHD LED Screens

What are UHD LED Screens?

LEDPros always aims to be up-to-date on the latest technology and UHD LED screens are no exception. Recently you may have heard terms such as “4k” or “UHD” when referring to TVs and computer monitors. UHD stands for Ultra High Definition. UHD is approximately 4 times greater then the usual 1080p “HD” TV. UHD has recently been introduced to the LED industry creating screens that have no minimum viewing distance. A minimum viewing distance is a common criteria seen with standard LED screens and indicates the minimum distance one needs to stand away from the screen in order to view it clearly.

What does this mean?

Standard LEDs vs UHD LEDs

UHD LED

Standard LED screen pannels usually have a pixel pitch (“P” Rating/ Dot Pitch) from P4 to P30+. A P Rating measures the distance between the dots used to display the image on the screen. Lower P Ratings have higher resolution, i.e. a clearer picture and a lower minimum viewing distance requirement.

The new UHD LED screen panels have a P Rating of 1.9. UHD P1.9 is twice the resolution of the best standard LED screen’s P4.

Advantages of UHD

The three main advantages of UHD over standard LED are:

  1. They have the lowest possible minimal viewing distance
  2. You can display more complex images
  3. There is no resolution limitations on pictures or videos

So, What’s the Catch?

Everything comes with a price, especially UHD panels. Due to their cutting edge technology and newness to the market, UHD panels are still relatively costly. Thus, the larger the dimensions of the screen are that you want to build, the higher the cost.

Is It Worth It?

The answer is: Yes.

Transparent LED Screens – What this can mean for your Business

Posted on by

Transparent LED Screens

 

 

During LEDPros’ latest business trip to China’s LED Convention, transparent LED screens were unveiled. These LED screens are almost fully transparent, bringing never before seen benefits.

What Kind of Benefits?

In this day and age it is hard to pass by any business window without seeing some kind of LED. However, many of these LEDs block your view into the actual store. The reverse is true for those on the other side of the glass; the LED in the window blocks the view of passerbys and the happenings of the outer world.

With these new transparent LEDs business owners will no longer have to worry about the issue of visibility vs advertising. They allow you to keep the storefront glass open, exposing your products and displays to the public. At the same time their high quality allows for attractive and efficient advertising.

transparent LED, LED, transparent

Why Transparency?

Transparent LED displays provide a perfect solution for high-end brand advertising. This is especially true for chain stores that have available shop window space. The amazing viewing expanding across 6”is sure to attract many and make a strong impression. The clean design of transparent LED also perfectly matches the expectation of high-end indoor decor. Transparent LEDs are perfect for clothing retailers, jewelers, car dealers, exhibition halls, and so much more!

transparent LED

 

Transparent LEDs are also customizable like any other standard LED. However, their range of customization is much broader.

Business and Transparency: A Concept

Nothing makes a better statement about a business than its signage. In addition to all the obvious profit and aesthetic orientated reasons for implementing a transparent LED, there are still reasons closer to home. Transparent signage is very rare in North America, as a result the significance of this signage is even rarer. Captivate the hearts of your consumers with more than just an aesthetic “wow factor”, convey to them the meaning and value transparency within your business. Make a statement. Be more than an industrial leader via technology, be an industrial leader via communication with your client base.

So, Business Transparency or Transparent Signage?

The answer is: Both.

Are you looking for that “WOW”factor?

What about that long term consumer connection?

LED DJ Booths: Take DJ-ing to Another Level

 

LEDPros recently got back from a big LED expo in China, featured in this article is a sight to behold: an LED DJ booth. If you have already viewed the video above, you should already know how “out of this world”LED DJ booths are. If you haven’t watched it yet, take a quick look now.

Shapes out of this World

 

These LED DJ booths are custom made to the specs that you want. We can get them manufactured so that they fit with the exact need or plan that you have. There are also a variety of different panels that come in different shapes and sizes. These predefined panels allow you to create actual 3D elements. When combined with software programs for the LEDs they really standout.djbooth_panels_Cropped

 

These LED setups  hook directly to the device that you are using and make the actions and movement on the screens sync to the music. This not only makes the performance stand out, but also complements the music.

As you can see, the stages and sets that you can create can get very complex. However, you can also keep them very small scale and simple. The choice is yours.

These fully programmable setups are the future of the club and party scene. They not only allow you to make anything you want but they also enhance the experience for the people at the venue or show.

Signage Tips & Advice – Create Signs that Catch Attention!

Posted on by

 

Signage Tips and Advice

 

We all know that bright flashing signs get people’s attention, but what if we told you that they can do much more than that? The primary goal of a sign is to grab people’s attention. After grabbing their attention it becomes possible to transmit your message to them. In order to do this effectively, the sign should be readable and visually attractive.  Read on below for some tips and advice on improving your signage.

 

Choose Suitable Sign Fonts

How:

Avoid using more than two font styles on a single sign.

Multiple fonts in one sign make it harder to read.

Primary Fonts:

Try to use fonts like Helvetica, Futura or Antique Olive as your main body text. These fonts are easy to distinguish from a distance.

Secondary Fonts:

Try to use Serif fonts such as Goudy, Benguiat, or Times.

Complex Fonts:
  • Old English Text
  • Engraved

These are almost impossible to read at a distance. Use these fonts when the viewer is will be stationary for a long period of time.

No-No Fonts:
  • Comic Sans
  • Other similar fonts

Because these fonts appear overly childish, viewers may feel that the business is unprofessional or not very serious. This is not an impression that you want to leave potential customers with.

Use Graphics Appropriately

 

Remember: Message>Lavish Design

Logos, clip art, boarders, etc. can be a good way to grab a viewers attention. However, they should not be the focal point of the sign nor overpower the intended message. If the viewer is only looking at the cool logo or borders, then the message is lost. Make note of what signs or sign features grab your attention. This can be colour schemes, shapes, words, font, or even design.

Consider Viewing Distance and Viewing Time

“How far away will the viewer be from the sign?”

This is a question that you will need to ask yourself before you choose your lettering. If the sign will be on a business with a large parking lot between the storefront and the street, the letters on the sign will need to be large enough to be viewed by drivers on the street.

*Keep in mind: drivers in motion will only be able to view the sign for 1.5-3 seconds.

The Cchart below will help you choose the correct letter height for the viewing distance.

Viewing_Distance-

Use Effective Colour Combinations

The chart below shows some of the most effective colour combinations. Combinations that have a high contrast between the background and the letters are easier to read. They are also easier to view from a larger distance.

Colour_chart_Signs

* Pink, purple, teal and orange colors are not shown, but  can be used for special events, holidays, and parties.

Although these are good general guidelines, they might not always produce desired visual results. Use your own discretion and intuition. Creating attractive and effective signage is essential for a successful business.

Li-Fi – The Network of the Future

Posted on by

LiFi_logo

 

What:

In the next 5 years  laggy inconsistent Wi-Fi networks could be a thing of the past. Researchers confirmed that information can be transmitted by light. This process is known as Light Fidelity, or Li–Fi. It is hundreds of times faster than basic Wi-Fi and is a major step forward in networking and wireless technology. Unfortunately,Li–Fi is not commercially available to the public. Li–Fi  is projected to be worth over $6 Billion by the end of 2018.

How:

It works by switching the current to the LEDs off and on at a very high rate. These rapid flashes work as a binary code to transmit data. Although Li–Fi LEDs must be kept on to transmit data, they can be dimmed. While dimmed they are not visible but still emitting enough light to carry data. Li–Fi needs a direct line of sight to receive information. This keeps networks much safer because you will have to be in direct contact with the light to connect to it.

As a result, it has a shorter range than traditional Wi-Fi signals which are carried on radio frequencies. Radio frequencies are picked up through walls and other objects. Li–Fi can have its ranged extended by bouncing the light off of walls or mirrors. By doing this you do lose some of its speed, but even with that loss  it is still 100x faster than traditional Wi-Fi.

Why:

Due to the popularity of cellphones and Wi-Fi connections, our bandwidth is becoming quite limited. Bandwidth comes from the radio spectrum and is not unlimited. The US Federal Communications Commission has warned of a potential spectrum crisis because Wi-Fi is close to full capacity. Li–Fi has an almost unlimited capacity because the visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than the radio frequency spectrum.

Additionally, any light source can emit a Li–Fi connection. This means that street lamps alongside roads can be equipped with it. This would allow for self driving cars to navigate. It can also be used to provide a free network connection to anyone.

 

With current technology Li–Fi will be cheaper than Wi-Fi. They have less components and are easier top create than radio transmitters and receivers. The only major roadblock for Li–Fi  is the infrastructure. Due to the fact that we have been on Wi-Fi networks for such a long time, most of our technology and infrastructure is compatible and made to work with it. For it to work with the new Li–Fi technology we would need to do a lot of conversions to the basic everyday things that use Wi-Fi.

Colour Temperature – What does the “K” Mean?

Posted on by

Ever wonder what the “K” followed by a number on light bulbs or LED lights is?

Light_Colour_test

The K you see on lights is the colour temperature in Kelvin. Now what does that mean exactly? Well the “K“,
also known as Kelvin, is a unit of measurement used to measure absolute temperature. 0 degrees K is where nothing is moving at all (0 degrees C is about +273K). K measures the temperature that a black-body radiator emits a certain color of light at.

K is used as a reference number to quickly estimate the light colour of a bulb or LED. Colour temperatures above the 5,000 K mark are  cool colours, such as whites and blues. Colours under 5,000 K  are warm colours, yellowish white all the way down to red. On this scale, daylight falls between 5,000 K and 6,200 K.  Reds, oranges, yellows, whites and blues make up the colour scale. There are no greens or purples or other colours on this scale as light does not emit in those colours.

kelvin_color_temperature_of_light_sources

So, how does this help you as a consumer?

The colour temperature helps you figure out what the colour of the light will be. This helps you find the colour you are looking for faster. Knowing what the colour temperature is helps with planning  lighting designs and setups. Especially for rooms or other settings like desks or work spaces.

LED Border Lights – Add a Little Light to Your World

Posted on by

 

LED Border Lighting

What:

LED border lighting is a type of accent lighting used to accent objects. Thus it is perfect for any storefront or building that you want to attract attention.

Custom LED border lighting

 

How:

Our border lights are high quality and custom made in Edmonton. They will fit whatever size, colour, and purpose that you need.  These high quality lights are fully waterproof; thus they are often used as underwater lighting in pools or ponds.

You can use border lighting indoors. You can dim the strips via controllers and also control the colours. This makes them very useful  for indirect ambient lighting setups. Just install the metal rail  into the surface that you want the lights to sit on.

Why:

Now the real question is “Do I need these?” It depends on what type of lighting you are doing. The one drawback with these lights is that they do not put out light sufficient for direct viewing. LED-lights-HousingSo, if you are for a light source to use while reading or doing work, then these would not be the best solution. If you are looking for lighting that draws attention and adds a little flair to your store or building, then LED border lights are the way to go.

The LED lights are a quick and easy solution due to their combustibility. You do not have to worry about ballasts or any thing else extra. You just need to mount the strips and plug them in.
