Can the Large 7-Segment Displays Work Outside?
For long term installations, we do not recommend installing the large digit outside under extreme weather conditions (especially in the heat). Additionally, it can be hard to view the LEDs in direct sunlight during the afternoon.
If you do use the large 7-segment displays outside, we recommend using red plexiglass to improve on the visibility. It would be better to have it under a tent or shadow when viewing the digits outside.
