Who We Build Outdoor Digital Signage For Across Greater Columbus

Our Columbus customers include churches, Ohio schools and colleges, car dealerships on Morse Road, credit unions, medical groups, restaurants, retail centers in Polaris and Easton, and city and county facilities. Every one of them faces the same Graphics Code hurdle: automatic changeable copy is only allowed in certain districts, and only with dimming control and a certificate of zoning clearance. That hurdle’s ours to clear, not yours.

Outdoor Digital Signage Configurations That Fit Columbus Lots And Districts

Ground And Monument Signs With Half The Face For Identification

Choose a ground or monument sign when your lot fronts an arterial. Columbus generally requires at least half the sign face to stay non-changeable, so we size the cabinet’s ID panel and the LED display together. A 6mm or 8mm SMD Omega monument signs build reads sharp from the road.

Double-Sided Pole Signs For Outerbelt And Two-Way Corridors

Choose double-sided when traffic passes in both directions on Broad Street, Cleveland Avenue, or an I-270 frontage road. Each face runs the same MEGA Cloud schedule, so a price change or event notice hits both directions at once. 16mm DIP carries the message at highway speed.

Outstanding service

R K

Outstanding experience with MEGA LED Technology from start to finish. Their team handled the permit for us, which saved weeks of hassle, and walked us through sizing and placement with zero pressure. The sign itself is bright, crisp even in full sun, and the software was easy enough for our office staff to use on day one. They clearly know this industry. Highly recommend for any church considering an EMC. Simply the BEST!!

I can’t say enough great things about Mega LED! The quality of their signs is absolutely top-notch — you can tell immediately that these are premium, American-made products built to last. Knowing that Mega LED is an American Veteran-owned company makes the purchase even more meaningful. The sales staff went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I needed. They were knowledgeable, patient, and truly tireless in their effort to find the perfect solution for my business.

The Specs Behind Outdoor Digital Signage Built For Ohio Winters

Pixel Pitch, Brightness, And Dimming Matched To Columbus Rules

On 25 to 35 mph city streets, 6mm or 8mm SMD reads sharp from the sidewalk and the car. On the outerbelt, 16mm DIP carries a shorter message. Add the optional auto-dimming sensor to satisfy the Graphics Code’s dimming control requirement.

Sealed, Coated, And Certified For Freeze-Thaw And Road Salt

Modules carry an IP67 front and IP65 back rating with a LINE-X coated aluminum cabinet against snow, salt spray, and July humidity. Premier signs are MET Lab Certified, UL 48 compliant, and FCC Part 15 Certified. See the UL 48 standard page.

Why Columbus Buyers Choose A Veteran-Owned American Sign Manufacturer

We design, build, and support every sign ourselves, so there’s no import reseller or local middleman between you and the factory. Four-layer copper PCBs, IPC-610 soldering, and gold-wire bonded LEDs are standard. And we read the Columbus Graphics Code before quoting, so you don’t buy a sign the city won’t clear.

Questions Columbus Owners Ask Before Ordering Outdoor Digital Signage

Who Handles Columbus Zoning Clearance And The Installation Permit?

We do. After your deposit, our team prepares the scale drawings, anchorage and foundation data, and forms the city requires, file for zoning clearance and the installation permit, and coordinate inspection.

What If My District Needs A Graphics Commission Variance?

We tell you before you commit. If automatic changeable copy needs a variance in your district, we prepare the drawings and exhibits for the hearing and adjust the design if needed.

How Long Will An Outdoor Sign Last Through Ohio Winters?

Premier signs carry a 5-year limited warranty on parts and in-factory labor. Sealed IP67 modules, LINE-X cabinets, and quick-release panels mean one failed module never takes down the whole sign.
