Watchfire Signs Unveils Higher Resolution 16mm

Watchfire Signs (http://www.watchfiresigns.com), the most reliable LED sign manufacturer in the business with unique loyalty to its sign company customers, will unveil to the industry its new 16mm color LED sign with XVS video capability offered as a standard feature at the International Sign Expo, March 27-29, in Orlando, Fla. The new sign will be displayed at the Watchfire booth #1614.

The new 16mm color LED sign delivers Watchfire's sharpest, brightest, and most lifelike resolution ever with 33 percent more pixels for life-like animations and color depth, and realistic up-close viewing. The first pilot installation of a Watchfire 16mm color LED sign was made in fall 2007 at the Watchfire factory and the display has logged nearly 4,000 hours in an unusually harsh winter.

Watchfire's new 16mm sign is a supercharged LED and video display. The sign packs 1,080 LEDs into every square foot and is capable of producing 281 trillion colors, which exceeds NTSC standards and is the most in the industry. XVS capability enables the sign to show full-motion video. Watchfire's XVS signs also have the industry's best viewing angles: 70 degrees vertical and 140 degrees horizontal, for a wider and brighter viewing area.

Watchfire's 16mm LED signs will be available in a super vivid 11,000 nits to a more energy conscious 5,000 nits.

"The new Watchfire 16mm signs are a welcome addition to the Watchfire product offering, and give us another beautiful, full-video product to offer to our customers," said Richard Poyant, president of Poyant Signs, New Bedford, Mass. "The image quality is stunning and at 11,000 nits images literally appear to jump off the sign."

"Our new 16mm XVS signs are incredibly vivid and deliver businesses and organizations a landmark status that helps them increase visibility and drive growth," said John Kunze, director of Watchfire Signs. "Since we provide a rugged, reliable and vivid display, and the industry's best support before and after the sale, sign companies can be proud to sell Watchfire signs to any commercial or non-profit business that is looking to increase traffic, attendance or revenue."

Watchfire Signs is the only manufacturer that fully encapsulates the LED module in a thick bed of silicone gel, which enables the LED boards to operate in extreme conditions: 180 days completely submerged in water, 60 days in a salt-spray chamber, and temperatures ranging from -40° F to 120° F. In areas where heat and humidity are both high, the silicone gel protects the boards from humidity and moisture, eliminating the need for cooling units and allowing the boards to operate with less energy. All Watchfire boards feature unique cabinetry and streamlined electronics design that improves operation and simplifies maintenance. Watchfire's warranty, lead-times, customer support, and no-fee software are considered to be the best in the industry.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
