Who can use an outdoor LED display?
In the 21st century, we have seen a gradual increase in the use of LED technology, but most recently the demand has skyrocketed. We’ve seen rapid growth in the popularity of implementing LED display technology in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Over the next 5 years, it’s expected that the LED display market will see an annual growth rate of over 13%. Surely, COVID-19 has slowed the anticipated growth a bit, as it hindered the supply chains and manufacturing operations, but it’s certainly picking up steam.
The demand for outdoor LED displays is being seen in many outdoor markets such as sporting venues, concerts, advertising, and houses of worship, to name a few.
With new augmented reality and VR technology, businesses are investing in LED technology to create more experiences and interactions with potential customers. LED has opened new doors as an avenue for these types of technology, and it’s only expanding.

Superior quality in materials
Gone are the days of investing in cheaper technology that doesn’t last. Consumers are looking to invest in quality products that are meant to last and withstand the tortures of mother nature. Dust, wind, rain, direct sun — it can all play a huge role in the durability of your outdoor LED display.
Firefly LED offers a superior product in our O Series for outdoor LED applications.

Energy-efficient solutions
So many businesses are being more cognizant of their footprint in the green space, therefore finding an LED display product that is more energy-efficient has become increasingly important in the decision making process.
Features like low power consumption, heat dissipation, and sustainable materials are helping those make decisions that are better for the environment.
