Northeast Florida's Daktronics LED Partner

Nineteen years partnering with Daktronics. Fifty-plus Galaxy displays designed, permitted, fabricated, and installed across Jacksonville and the surrounding region. Same team for the cabinet, the LED, the content, and the call when you need service.

Daktronics LED high-rise digital display for Dennis+Ives, Jacksonville FL — installed by CG Signs

A 19-year partnership built on what actually works in Florida.

We started selling and servicing Daktronics LED displays in 2007. At the time it wasn't an obvious bet — cheaper LED imports were flooding the market and undercutting us on price. The reason we stuck with Daktronics — and the reason it's still our exclusive LED partner nearly two decades later — is uptime.

Every Daktronics display we've installed in Northeast Florida is still running. We have monument LEDs from the early 2010s in continuous service. We have rooftop billboards from the late 2010s still rendering full motion video. We have client relationships that span three full Daktronics product generations because the displays simply don't fail the way the cheap stuff does.

Today we're closing in on 19 years of Daktronics installs and 50+ active displays across Jacksonville, Orange Park, Fleming Island, St. Augustine, and the rest of the region — and we've never had to apologize for the recommendation.

Six engineering decisions that matter in the Florida climate.

Daktronics doesn't compete on sticker price. They compete on what's still working after five Florida summers. Here's what they build differently.

Silicone-Sealed Components

Every internal component is sealed in silicone. Daktronics has tested their displays submerged in water and frozen in ice. In Florida's humidity, thunderstorms, and salt air, this is the difference between a 15-year sign and a 5-year sign.

Patented Louvered Panel Design

A louvered face blocks direct sunlight from hitting the LED surface. The result is dramatically better contrast and readability in midday Florida sun — when competitors wash out into a grey blur, a Daktronics display stays crisp.

Verizon LTE + Lifetime Data Plan

Every display ships with a built-in Verizon LTE modem and a lifetime data plan included. No WiFi setup, no network configuration, no monthly fees, ever. Plug it in, and it's online.

Venus Control Suite — Lifetime License

Cloud-based content management with a lifetime license. Schedule messages weeks in advance, run different content by daypart, push from any browser — no per-seat fees, no subscriptions, no surprise pricing changes.

Automatic Dimming

An integrated light sensor auto-adjusts brightness throughout the day — full output in midday sun, dimmed at dusk and night. Always legible, never obnoxiously bright, and the LEDs last longer because they're not running at max all the time.

Best-in-Class Warranty

Daktronics offers the industry's strongest warranty coverage on display hardware. Combined with CG Signs' local install warranty and our on-the-ground service team, you're covered both for the display itself and for everything we did to mount it.

Two products. Every application covered.

We sell and install Daktronics' flagship Galaxy series displays. The GS6 is our highest-volume product for monument and pylon signs; the GT6x is the choice for high-rise installs, large formats, and close-viewing locations.

Local installs

Over 50 Daktronics displays installed and serviced across Northeast Florida — from small church monuments to high-rise billboards. Real local proof, not stock photography.

1

Single source

We engineer and fabricate the cabinet, monument, or pylon in our Orange Park shop, integrate the Daktronics display, run a single permit covering both elements, complete the UL-listed electrical, and program your initial content. One contract, one crew, one warranty.

19

Years partnering with Daktronics

We've been a Daktronics dealer since 2007 — long enough to have seen multiple product generations, to know the Daktronics service network personally, and to have refined the install process for the specific demands of the Northeast Florida climate.

How We Deliver

From first call to scheduled content.

Every Daktronics install we deliver moves through the same end-to-end process. Single source for the LED, the structure, the install, the software setup, and the long-term service.

  1. 01

    Survey & Spec

    Free on-site survey. We measure viewing distances, evaluate the existing structure (or design a new one), recommend GS6 vs. GT6x and pixel pitch, and confirm electrical service.

  2. 02

    Engineer & Permit

    Florida-stamped structural drawings, sign/electrical permit submittal to the applicable jurisdiction, and coordination of any special-exception review the city or county requires for LED message centers.

  3. 03

    Fabricate & Install

    Daktronics builds the display; CG Signs builds the cabinet, monument, or pylon in our Orange Park shop. Our crew sets the structure, mounts the display, and completes UL-listed electrical — typically in one to two days on site.

  4. 04

    Program & Train

    We activate the Verizon LTE modem, program your initial content, and train your team on Venus Control Suite. Ongoing content management is available if you'd rather hand it off.

FAQ

The Daktronics partnership, answered.

What Jacksonville buyers ask about working with a Daktronics dealer versus buying LED from someone else.

How long has CG Signs been a Daktronics dealer?

Since 2007 — over 19 years. We've installed and serviced more than 50 Daktronics LED displays across Jacksonville, Orange Park, Fleming Island, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach, and the rest of Northeast Florida in that time.

What's the difference between a Daktronics dealer and other LED sign sellers?

A Daktronics dealer like CG Signs has direct access to Daktronics' engineering, training, parts inventory, and warranty support. We're trained on the products we sell, hold service parts in our shop, and have a direct line to the Daktronics service network when an install needs factory support. Sellers carrying low-cost LED brands rarely have any of that infrastructure.

Why Daktronics over cheaper LED brands?

Three reasons that matter in Florida specifically. Every internal component is sealed in silicone — Daktronics has demonstrated their displays submerged in water and frozen in ice. The patented louvered panel design dramatically improves contrast in direct Florida sun. And the LTE-enabled Venus Control Suite is the industry's most stable content platform. Cheaper LED displays save money up front and cost you several times over in service calls during the first five years.

Which Daktronics products does CG Signs sell?

We sell the Galaxy GS6 and GT6x series — the flagship displays for commercial messaging. The GS6 is our most popular option for monument and pylon signs (15.85mm, 19.8mm, and 26.4mm pixel pitches). The GT6x is the choice for high-rise installs, large-format displays, and close-viewing locations (6mm, 8mm, and 10mm pixel pitches). We can spec other Daktronics product lines on request.

Does CG Signs handle the cabinet, monument, or pylon — or just the LED?

We handle everything. CG Signs designs, engineers, permits, and fabricates the cabinet, monument, or pylon in our Orange Park shop, then mounts and wires the Daktronics display, completes the UL-listed electrical, and programs the initial content. One contract, one permit, one install crew, one warranty point of contact. See our monument work →

What ongoing service do you provide after the install?

Three options: train your team on Venus Control Suite so you manage content in-house, pay us monthly for full content management (we build the graphics and schedule them), or run a hybrid where we handle major seasonal updates and you run day-to-day messaging. For hardware service, every display is covered by the Daktronics manufacturer warranty plus our local install warranty — we respond directly to service calls across the Northeast Florida service area.

Are there monthly software or data fees with a Daktronics LED sign?

No. Venus Control Suite is included as a lifetime license — no subscription. The built-in Verizon LTE modem includes a lifetime data plan with no monthly fees. The only ongoing cost is electricity (modest, thanks to auto-dimming and LED efficiency) and any content-management service you choose to engage.
