Getting Started with Direct-View LED Walls 

From command centers to retail spaces, all types of businesses thrive with a video wall display. 

While the video wall has been around for quite some time (first introduced in the early 1980s), the latest, greatest version in 2025 is the Direct View LED Video Wall. Unlike previous iterations, DVLEDs don’t use a backlight to display an image. Instead, each individual LED diode is both a light source and a pixel. Each pixel emits its own light, creating richer colors and a smooth, grid-free image. 

Direct View LED walls are also completely modular and scalable to any size or aspect ratio—which is especially helpful for any business looking to get creative with their video wall display. You don’t have to stick to one image or video on the screen. Why not use your wall-sized screen to share all the content you desire? 

Whether you need game coverage in a sports bar or wayfinding content in an airport, a commercial integrator like Texadia Systems can help you customize the number of images/videos on display. Here’s how it works. 

Two Essential Components: the Processor & Controller

Update Your Downlights to LEDs & Reap the Benefits 

When most homeowners hear the phrase “lighting upgrade,” they assume it's as simple as swapping out an old bulb for a new one. However, switching from incandescent and CFL bulbs to LEDs can be a little more complicated for recessed/downlight fixtures. 

Downlights come in one of two forms: can or canless. Can lights feature a cylindrical housing behind the bulb, while canless lights are flush to the ceiling without any space around the light. No matter what you have, if your recessed lights still use older light bulbs, it’s time to upgrade to LEDs. 

Our partner DMF Lighting offers a Retrofit Kit that makes it easy to upgrade recessed lighting systems to high-quality LEDs. Let’s walk through how it works—and why it’s always worth upgrading to LED lighting.

The Hidden Costs of DIY Smart Lighting

See What You’re Missing Without Professional Lighting Control

Do you dream of lighting that automatically adjusts throughout the evening, creating the perfect atmosphere on its own? Or do you wish you could turn off the entire house with just one tap of a button? 

Today, ‘smart’ Bluetooth and Wi-Fi bulbs are widely available in stores. But there’s a difference between owning a few smart LEDs and having a truly smart, centralized lighting control system. 

When you partner with a professional lighting designer, you’ll gain access to premium fixtures and smart lighting solutions that are only available through certified dealers. You’ll receive a clean, polished installation with all your lights and motorized shades connected to one central hub.

But if you’re still itching to buy some equipment, watch YouTube tutorials, and install it yourself? Let’s walk through the differences between professional and DIY lighting systems.
