Watchfire Digital Outdoor Expands Louisiana Footprint with 2 New Digital Billboards Near Shreveport

Watchfire Digital Outdoor expanded its presence in Louisiana with the installation of two new 19mm digital billboards in the Shreveport/Bossier City market. The 10’6” x 36’ billboards were purchased by Ace Outdoor and are installed in Bossier City, La. along the new Benton Road overpass.

Ace Outdoor provides select billboard displays in Tyler, Texas and Louisiana. Until now, all of the company’s billboards have been either vinyl or tri-vision.

According to Michael Grace, owner of Ace Outdoor, digital billboards are the most effective because they stand out among all other signs and provide advertisers unlimited flexibility.

“With digital billboards, advertisers get their own private media center.  They can day-part ads, advertise multiple products, create time-sensitive messages, or change their ad campaign quickly and from a remote location.  This truly is the future of outdoor advertising,” said Grace.  “We are very proud to bring this level of technology to this market.  Watchfire manufactures the highest quality digital displays on the market today with the sharpest and best looking display.”

Watchfire produces the industry’s most popular 19mm pixel pitch billboard, which packs 768 LEDs into every sq. ft.-and is capable of producing 281 trillion colors, the most in the industry. It is the only manufacturer that fully encapsulates the LED module in a thick bed of silicone gel, which enables the LED boards to operate in extreme conditions: 180+ days completely submerged in water, 60 days in a salt-spray chamber, and temperatures ranging from -40° F to 120° F. In areas like Louisiana, where heat and humidity are both high, the silicone gel protects the boards from humidity and moisture, eliminating the need for cooling units. All Watchfire boards feature unique cabinetry and streamlined electronics design that improve operation and simplify maintenance. Watchfire’s warranty, lead-times, customer support, and no-fee software are considered to be the best in the industry.
