Leading LED screen manufacturer, Lighthouse Technologies, chose PLASA 2010 to launch DuoLED, a new creative product. Whilst interest from the market was significant, an added endorsement came from Installation Europe magazine, which gave DuoLED an Editors’ Award, Pick of PLASA2010.

“We are delighted that DuoLED has been highlighted by Installation Europe as a product worthy of such note,” says Lighthouse General Manager, Peter Chan. “When we designed DuoLED, we wanted to give the market a product that had significant benefits, especially in an economic climate that is still uncertain. The response we have had indicates that we have got it right.”

DuoLED is a lightweight mesh product that has all the advantages of transparency and ease of handling, but with an extra benefit. As the name suggest, DuoLED is a dual mode product. It can be used as a mesh screen but, with the simple flick of a switch, can also be used as a standard display panel.

The second mode is achieved by a revolutionary set of shutters, which close behind the mesh and give the panels a solid appearance.

Available in 12mm and 18mm pixel pitch versions, DuoLED is ideal for large format indoor or outdoor displays, with a brightness of 5,000 nits, accurate reproduction of 281 trillion colours and IP65 ingress protection rating. Each panel of both types measures 576mm square, is less than 115mm deep and weighs less than 8.5kg, making DuoLED screens of any size easy and fast to build.

Lighthouse’s industry-leading contrast and colour uniformity technology means that the images produced by DuoLED, in either mode, are sharp and lifelike. Most importantly, the dual use of the panels means that rental companies no longer need to stock both mesh and standard panels.

“We believe that DuoLED will bring a number of advantages and create a significant impact on the large format screen market,” continues Peter. “It reduces the cost of ownership of having a mesh and a standard display panel. It also reduces the amount of valuable warehouse space required that investing in two such products necessarily brings.

“Finally, it eliminates the problem of potential differences in colour reproduction and image quality if both types are used together. In fact, DuoLED not only removes all these problems, but can flip between mesh and standard operation in an instant, providing rental companies with the ultimate in flexibility.”
