Programable LED Gas Sign

Hello to all,

One of my best cutomers, who owns a dozen or two gas stations has asked me to research and try to come up with a plan to custom build him several LED/Box signs for his gas stations. We have looked at prefabed displays which are programable so he could change the numeric display with the touch of a button but he has all the faith in me to cut cost. With that being said.

What would be required? Which company to use, etc. etc.

Our gas price sign would need to have 3- 36" numerals all wired to toggle switches? Would this work? I cant seem to find the proper LED strips which are pretty much plug and play with self adhesive backing. Its funny how postcards and junk mail hit my desk everyday and i rarely keep any of it but now im scracthing my head for the right product and have high hopes someone will read this and offer a little assistance!!

What would be the best way to build a led system that would resemble a #8, wired to seven different switches so that he could change his gas prices daily?

Thanks for any input

Why reinvent the wheel. There are plenty of good products out there.
Try:
Adaptive micrl system
daktronics
transco
yesco
there are many more this is a realitve inexpencive product to purchase.
You could end up charging your customer more for a home made product than a good product.

Just a thought

Sean,

We are a dirrect manufacture of LED gas signs.

If you still want to build your own. We sell outdoor LED lamps that you can use your switches on. All they will require is a medium socket board. With those size letters, I would probably recommend our PAR-38 lamps that will be seen miles down the road. (Your probably a truck stop)
