Emen LightingA screen specified by pitch, size, brightness and the distance it is read from — never by how many LEDs are in it.

Tell us how far away it has to be read from. The letters below are drawn to the height they would actually need — the doorway and the person are there for scale.
These are estimates from the standard rules of thumb, not a quote. A real quote states the cap height, the illumination type, the return depth, the load in watts, the duty class and the warranty in months, for your building.
Get the real number| Placement | Pixel pitch | Brightness | Minimum comfortable viewing distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indoors, close range | P1.5–P2.5 | 600–1,000 nits | ≈ pitch in mm |
| Shopfront, sheltered | P3–P5 | 1,500–3,000 nits | ≈ pitch in mm |
| Street-facing | P6–P10 | 3,500–5,000 nits | ≈ pitch in mm |
| Large format, full daylight | P10–P16 | 5,000–7,000 nits | ≈ pitch in mm |
These are the industry ranges, not a quotation. Pitch sets the viewing floor: a P3 screen is not better than a P10, it is legible closer. Brightness is a function of the light it competes with, so an outdoor screen is specified against the sun rather than against a catalogue. A quote states pitch, physical size, brightness in nits, viewing distance, load, control method and warranty.
Your name, built and lit — face-lit channel letters for a shopfront, halo-lit lettering for a reception wall, light boxes where frontage matters more than depth.
A screen specified by what it has to do: the distance it is read from, the light it competes with, and the hours it runs. The LED count is an output of that, never a selling point.
Zones on their own schedules, dimmed after midnight, and an installation that reports its own health instead of waiting to be noticed.
Tell us where it goes and what has to be read from where. You get the specification, the load, the duty class and the warranty in months.
Someone has to supply and fit the hardware. Emen Shop holds the stock, repairs what breaks and installs what you buy.
Being seen brings people to the door; being found brings them from a search. Emen Tech builds the storefront, the system behind it and the automation that answers at 9pm.
