Supply, installation, rental and service of LED screens in Durban and across KwaZulu-Natal - surveyed, engineered, permitted and commissioned by one team.

Subtropical coastal air sits at 70–85% for months, and condensation forms inside cabinets whenever the temperature drops at night. We use IP65 sealed modules, breathable pressure-equalising vents, anti-condensation heaters on outdoor cabinets, and conformal-coated driver boards. Cheap cabinets fog from the inside out and corrode their connectors within two seasons.
Then the weather arrives. Durban storms dump 40 mm in an hour with wind that pushes water uphill. Every outdoor structure is engineered to SANS 10160 wind load and detailed so water sheds away from cable entries rather than into them. Where a site has a history of flooding, we lift the power and control enclosure clear of the flood line and put the driver cabinet above the screen base.
The Durban CBD and beachfront, Umhlanga and Ballito hospitality, Gateway and Pavilion retail, Pinetown, Pietermaritzburg, and the Richards Bay industrial belt.
Hotel and restaurant screens, conference displays for the ICC precinct, mall and retail walls, beachfront activations and event hire, plus industrial and logistics signage around the port.
Outdoor advertising screens are approved under eThekwini's outdoor advertising by-law with structural sign-off; uMhlanga and the beachfront frontage areas carry additional aesthetic controls. We handle the drawings, motivation and lodging, and we build the approval lead time into the programme rather than discovering it late.
Electrical work is to SANS 10142-1 with a Certificate of Compliance. For hospitality installs we also size surge protection properly — KZN sees high lightning activity through summer, and a single strike on the supply can take out a driver board that costs more than the protection device.
Not if the cabinet is genuinely sealed. We use IP65 modules, gasketed die-cast cabinets, pressure-equalising vents and anti-condensation heaters, with conformal coating on driver boards. The failure we see on cheap imports is unsealed cable entries and uncoated boards — that is a specification problem, not a climate one.
Yes, when the structure is engineered for it. Every outdoor install is designed to SANS 10160 wind load for the site, water is shed away from cable entries rather than into them, and power and control gear sit above the local flood line. We also specify surge protection suited to KZN's lightning activity.
Yes. Outdoor advertising requires approval under eThekwini's outdoor advertising by-law plus structural sign-off, and sites along the beachfront and Umhlanga frontage attract additional aesthetic controls. We prepare and lodge the application pack and allow for it in the project timeline.
Yes. Pietermaritzburg, Pinetown, Ballito, Richards Bay and the wider KZN north and south coasts are all covered, with travel quoted up front rather than added later.
Built for local conditions. Humidity and salt are the enemies on the KZN coast. We build with conformal-coated modules, ventilation engineering and corrosion-resistant structures rated for cyclone-season wind loads.
What we install here: beachfront advertising screens, stadium and arena displays, mall retail media, harbour-precinct billboards and event screens. Every project includes electrical work to SANS 10142-1 with a Certificate of Compliance, wind-load engineering to SANS 10160, and the municipal signage application pack prepared and lodged for you.
Costs, timelines and pixel-pitch guidance are on our LED installation page; rental options on the rental fleet page.
