Bayan Signage builds LED scrolling signs for pharmacies, exchange houses, mosques, restaurants and site gates that need to change a message without printing anything. We assemble commercial display modules into our own powder-coated cabinets in Ajman, set up controllers that render Arabic properly, and test every message you plan to show before the sign is installed.
An LED scrolling sign is a long, narrow display that shows short text messages which move across or change in pages: offers, duty hours, prayer times, exchange rates, queue numbers or safety notices. Most are built from standard P10 modules, 320 x 160 mm with 10 mm between pixels, one to four modules high and as many as needed wide. Owners update them from a phone, a laptop or a USB stick, so the sign stays current at no printing cost.
The display modules themselves are commercial products; what separates a reliable ticker from one that fails every August is everything around them. That means a cabinet that drains and breathes instead of cooking its electronics, power supplies sized with headroom and reachable for a quick swap, sealed cable entries, and a controller that joins Arabic letters correctly and scrolls them the right way. We build that part in our own factory and test it with your real messages.
Bayan Signage has operated its factory at Alam Square, Industrial Area 2, Ajman, since 2016, as the production arm of Bayan Advertising, a UAE group with 15 years in the market. Our fabricators cut and powder-coat the aluminium cabinets, our electricians fit the modules, controller and supplies and run each display at full brightness, and our installers fix it to the fascia, bracket or pole. Over 500 clients across the UAE use our signage.

The right type depends on what you show, where it hangs and how far away people read it.
Red, amber or white P10 modules in a sealed cabinet under the fascia. Bright, economical and ideal for offers, duty hours, prayer times and notices.
View details →Finer-pitch RGB modules for receptions, shop interiors and windows, able to show logos and coloured text read from a few metres.
View details →A scrolling strip set into or below an illuminated fascia, so the brand stays fixed while the message line changes daily.
View details →A two-faced ticker on a bracket for pedestrian streets and arcades, read by people walking from both directions. Needs a strong bracket and approval.
View details →Compact indoor displays showing token numbers and counter calls in clinics, banks and government service centres, linked to the queue system.
View details →Large digit modules set into a pylon or totem for fuel or service prices, updated remotely instead of swapping printed panels.
View details →We measure the position, check the wall or bracket, locate power and network, and ask for the actual messages you will show, in Arabic and English, so the size suits the text.
Our designers set the module rows for the viewing distance, and draftsmen produce the drawing used for the cabinet, the bracket and any permit submission.
Aluminium frames are cut, drilled and welded in our factory, with drainage, ventilation and a service door for outdoor units, then powder-coated to your colour.
Electricians fit the modules flush, wire the supplies with headroom, install the controller and load your messages, including an Arabic font test on the real display.
Each display runs at full brightness on our test bench to catch dead pixels, uneven modules or weak supplies, and is checked against the approved drawing.
The crew fixes the sign with stainless anchors, connects a protected circuit, sets the brightness schedule and shows your staff how to change messages from a phone or PC.
This is our standard outdoor build. Indoor signs drop the sealing and move to a finer pitch, and every option is itemised on the quote.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modules | P10 single colour, IP65 front | Full colour P8 to P10; P4 to P5 indoors | Pitch and colour set legibility, brightness and power use more than anything else. |
| Cabinet | Aluminium frame, powder-coated, ventilated | Tinted polycarbonate cover, custom surround | A ventilated, drained cabinet keeps supplies and controller out of the heat that kills them. |
| Controller | Wi-Fi and USB card with scheduling | LAN or 4G, brightness sensor, multi-sign management | Remote control and schedules decide how often the sign is actually kept up to date. |
| Arabic support | Controller tested with your Arabic text | Custom Arabic font loaded | Many cheap cards show disconnected letters or scroll Arabic the wrong way. |
| Power | 5 V supplies sized with headroom | Redundant supply, surge protection | Supplies are the commonest failure; headroom and easy access shorten any outage. |
| Mounting | Stainless anchors to fascia or wall | Projecting bracket, pole, steel sub-frame | Correct fixings carry the weight and the wind load on exposed sites. |
Most scrolling signs we are asked to replace were not broken; they were unreadable. These rules decide whether people actually take in the message.
With P10 modules, one row of 160 mm carries text about 130 mm high, comfortable from 10 to 15 m. Two rows, 320 mm, carry text around 250 mm high, readable from about 30 m. Arabic needs slightly more height than English for the same clarity, because its dots and ascenders disappear when squeezed into too few pixels. Decide where your readers stand, then choose the rows.
A sign six to eight modules wide, 1.9 to 2.6 m, shows roughly eight to twelve characters at once. A scrolling message should pass in five to eight seconds and stay under about 40 characters. Static pages that change every few seconds read better than continuous scrolling, especially for drivers, and they are easier to get approved near a road.
Not every controller renders Arabic properly. Letters must join in their correct forms and the text must move right to left. We load your actual Arabic messages, prayer names or offers onto the real display in the factory and send you a video before the sign is installed, because fixing it on a ladder outside a shop is slow and expensive.
A display bright enough for noon sun is far too bright at 10 p.m. and will glare into homes and at drivers. A brightness sensor or a timed schedule drops the output in the evening, cuts power use and heat, and avoids complaints from neighbours and building managers.
In direct July sun the inside of a closed cabinet runs far hotter than the air. We ventilate the cabinet, keep supplies away from the hottest face, add shade from a canopy where possible and position everything so a supply can be swapped in minutes.
We quote each display from its size, pitch and controller. Send us the width you have, the messages you plan to show and a site photo, and we will usually reply with an itemised quote within 24 hours.
Cost follows the number of modules, the cabinet and the supplies. Going two rows high doubles the module count of a sign the same width.
Single-colour red is the most economical; white, tri-colour and full colour cost progressively more and draw more power.
Outdoor signs need sealed modules, a ventilated weatherproof cabinet, stronger brackets and often a permit.
USB-only cards are inexpensive. Wi-Fi, LAN or 4G control, brightness sensors, schedules and multi-sign management add cost.
Fixing to a fascia, a projecting bracket or a pole, a dedicated power circuit and work at height shape the installation price.
Linking the display to a queue system, a rates feed or prayer time data needs set-up and testing beyond typed messages.
Moving or flashing text visible from roads can concern Dubai Municipality and RTA, because of driver distraction, and some malls, communities and free zones restrict scrolling displays or ban them outright. Static text that changes at intervals is generally easier to approve than continuous movement, and brightness at night is often part of the review.
Outdoor displays usually need approval in the same way as other signs, from the municipality or the free-zone or master-developer authority for your area. Our draftsmen prepare the drawings and a description of how the display will operate for the submission. Rules vary by location and change over time, so we confirm the current requirement for your exact site.
We cut, weld and powder-coat the aluminium cabinets in our Ajman factory, designed for UAE heat, dust and service access.
Controllers are tested with your real Arabic text, joined and scrolling right to left, before the display leaves the factory.
Electricians run each sign at full brightness on our bench to catch dead pixels and weak supplies before installation.
Our own draftsmen prepare the drawings and submissions for Dubai Municipality, Sharjah and Ajman municipalities and free-zone authorities, including how the display operates.
We show your team how to type, schedule and update messages from a phone or PC, so the sign stays current.
Modules, cabinet, controller, installation and permit work are listed separately, so you can compare like for like.
It depends on the size, the number of module rows, single or full colour, indoor or outdoor build, the controller and the mounting. A one-row red ticker inside a window costs far less than a two-row full-colour outdoor display on a bracket. Send us the width, your messages and a photo, and we will send an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
Most of our controllers connect over Wi-Fi or the network, so you type and schedule messages from a phone app or a PC. Basic signs can also be updated from a USB stick. We set up the software and train your staff at handover.
Yes, with the right controller. Arabic letters must join correctly and scroll right to left, which many cheap cards do badly. We test your actual Arabic messages on the display before installation and allow slightly more character height for Arabic than for English.
For readers 10 to 15 m away, such as pedestrians on the pavement, a one-row P10 sign with text about 130 mm high works well. For readers 30 m away, such as drivers on a service road, choose two rows. Width sets how many characters show at once, usually eight to twelve on a 2 m sign.
For short text that changes often, a scrolling sign is cheaper to buy and run, brighter per watt and simpler to update. For photos, video and detailed graphics, an LED or LCD screen is the better tool. Many shops use a ticker under the fascia and keep the branding on the sign above.
Usually, yes. Outdoor displays generally need approval from the municipality or the free-zone authority, and moving text near roads may face restrictions. We prepare the drawings and submission and confirm the current rules for your site.
A well-built outdoor display commonly gives many years of service, and the supplies and controller usually need attention before the LEDs do. Ventilation, shade and a brightness schedule all extend its life, and we design the cabinet so supplies can be swapped quickly.
Usually. Dead rows, flickering modules and failed supplies are common faults, and modules of the same pitch can often be replaced individually. Our LED sign repair team inspects displays made by others as well as our own.
