129 Swarco Traffic’s new, fully programmable variable message sign (VMS) delivers exceptional levels of clarity, durability and life-expectancy, says the company.

An evolution of its proven 3G optic, the new version is available with 3G6 or 3G7 optic and is a full colour RGB matrix sign featuring significantly reduced power consumption for longer-life operation and further improved reliability.

The new generation signs have full integration capabilities enabling them to be integrated with a customer’s existing or proprietary software.

The signs require very little power, without sacrificing performance, extending the service life of all electrical/electronic components and the LEDs do not suffer from any decrease in light intensity or colour change throughout their life cycle.

According to Swarco, the new 3G7 optic model achieves the highest luminance and best contrast of any VMS product available, meeting the highest demands of optical performance, with greatly enhanced character definition even at short ranges, but still with a life expectancy of greater than ten years.
