PIXELLAB Soft LED sign questions

Which size should I buy?

Do I need Wi-Fi or an internet connection?

No. The app talks to the sign over Bluetooth, so it works anywhere you have power. You only need the internet once, to download the free app.

How do I program the sign?

Download the free iPixel Color app (iOS and Android), pair with the sign over Bluetooth and type your message. You can set colors, scroll direction and speed, add emoji, pixel art or animations, and save playlists that rotate messages. Setup takes about five minutes. Step-by-step: how to program the sign.

Can it show my language and emoji?

Yes. The app supports text in any language plus emoji, pixel art, animations, a clock and countdown, and music-reactive effects. You can also schedule a list of messages.

Can I run more than one sign?

Yes. Control several signs from the same app to cover a wide frontage or put a sign on every window.

Can the sign turn itself off after we close?

Yes. The included remote has 2, 4 and 8-hour shut-off timers, so the sign switches off on its own. The USB cable also has an inline on/off switch.

What comes in the box?

The sign, a US wall adapter, a USB cable with an inline on/off switch, an IR remote, double-sided mounting tape and a user manual with the app QR code.

How do I install it?

No drilling and no electrician. Stick the sign to the inside of the window with the included double-sided tape, or hang it on a wall. The flexible board bends to fit curved glass.

Can I run it from a power bank?

Yes. Any 5 V USB source works: the included wall adapter, a power bank, a car USB port or a laptop. Avoid USB ports rated below 2 A (35″) or 4 A (52″ and 70″), such as TV and computer ports, or the sign may dim.

How much power does it use?

About 10 W, roughly the same as one LED light bulb. It runs from a 5 V USB source.

Can I use it outside?

The sign is rated IP65 by the manufacturer. Most stores mount it on the inside of the window facing out, which keeps the power cable indoors and the sign clean.

Can I use it in a car rear window?

Yes, the 35″ sign fits most rear windows and runs from a car USB port. Check your state's rules on lit signs in vehicles before driving with it on, and avoid red and blue. More in LED sign for car rear windows.

Is it certified?

The sign carries FCC ID 2BC4C-HRP-1696 for its Bluetooth radio, plus CE-RED and UKCA test verifications. The remote’s coin-cell battery compartment passed the ANSI/UL 4200A safety test required for US sale. The sign itself is not a UL-listed product.
