The Luminator Horizon is a monochrome 100% LED sign created for use in transit vehicles. It was introduced as a successor to their MAX flipdot signs. The Horizon system is available in various configurations to meet the needs of almost any application. Originally introduced with amber LEDs, an option for white LEDs was later introduced.

History

In 1999, the Horizon product line was introduced.

In 2003, the GEN 4 series of signs were rolled into the Horizon product line, making the Horizon slimmer, lighter, and more modular in design.

In 2006 (?), the Luminator Titan was introduced. Titan displays were of a higher resolution.

Sign branding was originally known as Surface Mount Display (SMD). In 2011 (?), new Surface Mount Technology (SMT) branding was created. This included the introduction of the white LED options. Further changes to the signs were made, such as the sign wiring and sign address switches being moved to the back (interior) side and the signs receiving a different housing/bracket design. Additionally, the 16x140 front sign was discontinued.
