Weighing only 31 pounds with its stand, it can be transported in the back of a car or SUV and can be set up by one person in minutes.

The Ultra-Portable, Instant Signage Solution

The LIGHTNING Portable LED Message Sign’s multi-color LEDs are intense, grabbing attention on the sunniest day. Viewing distance is 200 feet (with 4-inch text size) and the viewing angle can be more than 60 degrees offcenter. The sign is capable of displaying a new message pattern instantly. Transfer stored messages to the sign via laptop / USB or WIFI via smartphone app.
