Selectronic LED applications are only limited by your imagination
In Oxfordshire, Selectronic create LED displays for shopping malls, video walls, messaging units and information points for sports and leisure centres.
The firm says that applications are limited only by our imaginations says the firm’s managing director Kevin Dry. He comments: “One enquiry we have is for a wall display in a London tourist attraction. The fact that our product is flexible and tile shape means they can be used in a variety of applications, large or small. But we offer more than that with great design, an experienced and knowledgable back-up team, and expert customer service.”
The Selectronic floor LED display incorporates fast lock installation and dismantling which completely overthrows the traditional positioning pin, and a flat handle to ensure the flatness of the floor screen. The cabinet size is 500x500x65mm with a weight of 7.5kg and average consumption of 300W. And with 30 years of experience in the field the firm are an established name in the industry and are always happy to discuss a good deal this summer.
In Kent APA market a range of Italian made films for the industry with two new lines announced this season. The self-adhesive films are AP/610-FC (gloss white) and AP/618-FC (matt white), which the firms says are ‘two brand new films combining innovation and leading-edge technology.’

APA describe the ‘all-in-one’ digital printing products as featuring ‘high conformability, superior stability and excellent covering power, ideal for the most diverse applications to smooth, corrugated and shaped surfaces.’ Designed to ensure extreme ease of application, the two films feature the special ‘air free FTX System’ adhesive that favours air ejection upon application through micro-channels. And the films have excellent print capability say APA vivid colours even on dark backgrounds while both films are certified for reaction to fire (B-S2-D0 class). APA also has two new laminations, L/111-KS (gloss) and L/118-KS (matt), specifically devised for protecting the two new films from UV rays, scratches and small abrasions. It could be a case of a white-hot season of Italian films.
