The Luminator Horizon is an LED sign used on transit vehicles. It was introduced by Luminator in 2001 as a replacement of their flip-dot line of signs. The Horizon system is available as a front, side, rear and dash run number sign in various configurations.

Originally introduced with only amber LEDs, an option for a white LED sign was introduced. In 2013, the Titan series of higher-resolution signs and the Gen 4 series of modular signs were rolled into the Horizon product line.
