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| Reading distance | Cap height | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 5 m | ≈ 40 mm | Read from the pavement outside |
| 5–15 m | ≈ 125 mm | Read from across the street |
| 15–30 m | ≈ 250 mm | Read from a moving vehicle |
| 30 m and beyond | ≈ 375 mm+ | Roadside; consider letter height before letter count |
| Return depth | 60–100 mm | The depth of the box, which is what casts the shadow |
| Halo standoff | 25–50 mm | The gap that makes a halo read as a halo |
These are the industry ranges, not a quotation. Cap height is the rule of thumb of roughly 25 mm of letter height per 3 m of reading distance; a quote states the figure for your site, its viewing angles and its wind load. A quote that does not state cap height, illumination type, return depth and warranty in months is not finished.
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.
