If you’re considering an LED sign, you’re already on the right track.LED signs are one of the most effective ways to increase visibility, engage your audience, and share your message day or night. But when it comes to choosing the right setup, one important question comes up: Should you go with an independent or an integrated LED sign? Let’s break down the differences and help you decide which option is the best fit for your goals.
What Is an Independent LED Sign? (Featuring the Atlas)
An independent LED sign is a standalone digital display that can be mounted on a variety of structures, poles, or even existing signage. Our Atlas model is a perfect example. It’s our most flexible and scalable LED sign, designed for organizations that want serious impact with room to grow.
The Atlas features a separate, weather-resistant LED cabinet that’s engineered for durability, performance, and security. Whether you’re installing a single display or planning a network of signs across locations, the Atlas is built to deliver eye-catching, real-time content wherever you need it.
Even better, the Atlas is ETL Listed, which means it meets rigorous safety and quality standards. Each unit is thoroughly tested to ensure reliability. That’s why we confidently back it with some of the best warranties in the industry.
If you need a high-performance LED sign that offers adaptability and long-term value, the Atlas is a smart, future-ready choice.
What Is an Integrated LED Sign? (Featuring the TekStar)
An integrated LED sign is a digital display that’s built right into a complete, custom sign structure. Our TekStar model is a great example, designed for organizations that want a clean, professional appearance at a great value.
The TekStar features a seamless, single-piece face made from virtually unbreakable TUFFAK® SL, covering both the LED area and sign face. This unitized construction not only looks modern, but it also protects against weather and vandalism, keeping your sign looking great and performing reliably for years.
The TekStar is also UL Listed, meaning it’s been tested and certified for safety and performance. With this level of quality and durability, you can count on the TekStar to deliver consistent results, backed by solid warranties and our expert support.
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, all-in-one solution that’s easy to install and built to last, the TekStar checks all the boxes.
Which One Should You Choose?
It really comes down to what matters most to your organization:
- Choose the Atlas if you want flexibility in size, structure, or future expansion. It’s perfect for projects that may evolve over time or need to fit unique installations.
- Choose the TekStar if you’re looking for a finished, all-in-one sign that’s ready to go, with built-in protection and a polished, professional look.
Both models meet high safety standards, and both come with industry-leading warranties for peace of mind.
