Who We Are

Only the most rugged and capable power supply can withstand extreme temperatures, variations in relative humidity, and spikes in the incoming electrical system. American LED Technology uses a highly reliable, state-of-the-art power supply capable of continuous operation for very long periods of time. The power supplies used in our displays have a universal AC input and auto voltage adjusting circuitry, allowing proper operation over a wide range of input voltages anywhere from 88 — 264 VAC and an input frequency range 47 — 63 Hz. Power supplies in an LED display are working 100% of the time, even when the screen is idle. These components must have the ability to operate under extreme heat, cold, and humidity. Varied environmental conditions are no problem for our power supplies which can operate in temperature ranges of -20 C to +65C (-4F to + 149F) and relative humidity conditions of 20% to 90% RH. Speed controlled DC fans provide forced air cooling to the circuitry. Conformal coated circuit card assemblies protect the circuitry from moisture, the cause for corrosion and mold. Integrated protection circuitry is used to protect the power supply and other components of the LED display. Overload, over temperature, and over voltage protection work together to make the MTBF, mean time between failures, 207,000 hours minimum as measured by MIL-HDBK-217F (25 degrees C).

American LED Technology utilizes state-of-the-art LED modules to build a reliable display that will operate brightly for many years. All American LED Technology modules are manufactured using premium components. All modules have average LED life of 100,000 hours or greater. Module brightness levels can reach up to 12,000 nits. All LED modules conform to NRTL standards. Modules are 1.05' H x 1.05' W making display sizes available in multiples of 1.05' in height and width with no costly dead space. LED modules are available in 8mm SMD and standard 3 LED pixel resolutions of 10mm, 13.33mm, 16mm and 20mm. Virtual resolutions of 16mm and 20mm which utilize a 4 LED pixel configuration are also available. All LED modules have a front release mechanism for quick and easy servicing with a common 3mm hex head tool. American LED Technology uses LED modules coated with a thick layer of silicone gel which protects components and circuit board connections from corrosion and mold caused by moisture thus improving reliability and extending the life.

Why use aluminum? Aluminum is strong and over 30% lighter than steel. It resists the elements of nature and will never rust. American LED Technology's all aluminum cabinets feature a sealed design with no doors or hinges to leak or fail. All of our connection points are waterproof and rated IP65 or higher. Cabinets are finished in our rugged Duramax® all-weather coating, an industrial strength coating that is flame resistant, waterproof, and will never chip or scratch. We've designed our custom high-strength extrusion which houses our LED displays. This custom design is very strong and makes production easy, fast, and accurate.

Power surges are extremely brief overvoltage spikes on an AC power waveform. The most damaging type of surge enters your LED display through the power line and is called "externally generated". These surges can damage LED PCBs, receiving cards, and other components in your LED display. Other surges are created by lightning and normal load switching is seen as "power blinks". If your sign suffers a direct hit from lightning damage can occur despite following earth grounding procedures.

At American LED Technology we want our customers to enjoy their LED displays for years to come not have them damaged by a summer thunderstorm. That's why we're the only manufacturer to include surge protectors built in! You'll have peace of mind knowing our surge protectors are top quality.
