Transparent LED window installation for Manchester Live Music Bar

Posted August 20th, 2025 by Emily Burkinshaw & filed under , Case Study, Inspiration, Project Focus.

We manufactured and supplied 3 × transparent LED screens (each 1.0 × 2.5 m, 3.9 × 7.8 mm pixel pitch) for a striking window installation at a live music & cocktail bar in Manchester. The brief was simple: deliver ultra-bright, attention-grabbing visuals that don’t turn the window into a blackout — ideal for a venue that wants to show-off their interior when the visuals are off.

The luxurious bar and live music venue is designed to be discovered rather than shouted about, so any external display needs to draw people in without destroying the venue’s sense of mystery, and a solid LED wall would block sight of the attractive LED ceiling lighting inside and ruin the “hidden” feel.

Our solution

We supplied three transparent LED panels (1.0 × 2.5 m each) with a 3.9 × 7.8 mm pixel pitch. The panel design preserves sightlines and daylight while producing bright, legible content for passers-by and late-night crowds. The result is a window that acts like a cinematic curtain — vivid visuals when you need them, translucency when you don’t.

Why this works for nightlife & hospitality

• Ultra-bright visuals – engineered to cut through street and interior lighting so graphics and video remain punchy at night and in daylight.

• High transparency – keeps the immaculate entrance and interior ambience visible.

• Close-range clarity – 3.9 × 7.8 mm pixel pitch is detailed enough for animated promos and live-show loops viewed from the pavement.

• Custom modular sizes – designed to match the unique window proportions.

• Nightlife-ready – robust electronics and easy content updates for venues with long operating hours and fast-moving programming.

Project at a glance

• Product supplied: 3 × Transparent LED screens, 1.0 m × 2.5 m each.

• Pixel pitch: 3.9 × 7.8 mm.

• Use case: Window-mounted digital display for promotional content, animated visuals and mood-setting video loops.

This window installation shows how transparent LED can amplify a venue’s identity without turning its frontage into a solid screen. For hospitality, retail or entertainment settings where light, sightlines and atmosphere matter, transparent LED lets you have both — bright motion and preserved views.
