Durham, North Carolina Scoreboards: The LX2350, LX6630 and LX2330 Across 49 Entries

Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record for Durham, North Carolina holds 49 entries at 31 organizations, and three models lead it: the LX2350 with 8 entries, the LX6630 with 7 and the LX2330 with 6, counting each model with its variants. Basketball takes 23 of those entries, so two indoor gym scoreboards at the top come as no surprise.

The surprise is the model in between. The LX6630 is an outdoor scoreboard designed primarily for soccer. Soccer holds 8 Durham entries, more than football's 5, which is unusual for a city record.

This article reads that record line by line. It describes each leading model only from its own spec sheet, walks through the six entries for Southern Durham High School and the five for Coca-Cola, and ends with what to check before you order. Every entry is a scoreboard sold and shipped to a Durham address. The research section below walks through these findings.

What does the Durham, North Carolina sales and shipping record contain?

Our data for Durham lists 49 entries at 31 organizations, shipped from 2000 to 2025 across nine ZIP codes, with no single ZIP holding more than 11 entries.

Read the record in three steps before you draw any conclusion from it:

1. Count each entry as one scoreboard sold and shipped to a Durham address, not one scoreboard hanging on a wall today.
2. Group a model with its variants, so 2350, 2350-C and LX2350 count as one model, the way Electro-Mech's state pages count them.
3. Count each organization once, even where the record spells its name two ways.

The sport split is lopsided. Our review of the Durham page puts basketball first with 23 of the 49 entries, followed by baseball with 13, soccer with 8 and football with 5. Durham buys gym scoreboards first. Outdoor fields come second, and the baseball entries are the larger share of that outdoor side, the ground our LED baseball scoreboards are built for.

The spread across the city matters as much as the totals. Nine ZIP codes share the list, and no one ZIP carries more than 11 entries. No single neighborhood or campus dominates the record.

The record also stores variants as separate model strings, row by row. Read that way, a popular model looks smaller than it is, because its orders are split across two or three spellings. Grouping the variants restores the true count, and every model figure in this article follows that rule.

The common assumption is that a manufacturer's city list shows what is in use in Durham today. The record cannot show that. It knows what shipped and when, not whether a scoreboard went up, where it went, or whether it still runs. Local events shape use in ways no order line captures: CBS17 reported on July 17, 2020 that Durham Public Schools suspended high school athletics indefinitely, citing health and safety concerns over COVID-19.

Combining 3 sources points to one careful reading. Each count here is a purchase, not a census. Treat it as evidence of what Durham organizations chose to buy.

Which scoreboard models do Durham organizations order most?

Counting each model together with its variants, the LX2350 leads Durham with 8 entries, the LX6630 follows with 7, and the LX2330 holds 6.

Our review of the record shows two of those three leaders are indoor gym scoreboards. That fits a city where basketball tops the sport count. The LX6630 is the outdoor exception, and the next section takes it up on its own.

What the LX2350 spec sheet and cutsheet state

The LX2350 spec sheet describes an indoor basketball / multi-sport scoreboard measuring 9 ft by 3 ft. The LX2350 cutsheet gives it a 12 in. tall 4-digit Game Clock (MM:SS), a 12 in. tall Home Score and a 12 in. tall Guest Score. The model is also published as the LX2350-ETN, the Electronic Team Names variant. In Durham's record, the base model and its earlier spellings are counted as one model.

What the LX2330 spec sheet states

The LX2330 spec sheet describes an indoor basketball / multi-sport scoreboard measuring 6-1/2 ft by 3 ft. Its published documents list no variant. The scoreboard keeps the same 3 ft cabinet height as the LX2350 in a narrower cabinet.

The practical difference between Durham's two leading gym models is cabinet width. Height is the same. Measure the wall before you choose, and take the exact cabinet figure from each model's own spec sheet.

Both models sit inside the wider range of LED basketball scoreboards. Before you compare them, ask the Electro-Mech team for both spec sheets so you can read the two cabinet figures side by side. The rest of the Durham entries are spread across other models and pre-LX names, which the record lists exactly as it spells them.

Where can you check the Durham record for yourself?

Electro-Mech publishes its North Carolina sales and shipping record by city, so you can open the Durham list and compare every count in this article against the source.

Our North Carolina state page lists every record under its city. The counts follow one rule: one row per organization, model and city. Variants of one model, such as 2350, 2350-C and LX2350, count as that one model. The page covers what was sold and shipped. It does not cover what is standing today.

The same state record carries sports this article barely touches. Football holds 428 North Carolina records, softball 13, hockey 7 and lacrosse 2. I would start with the Durham list, then widen to nearby cities only if your sport is thin there.

Why does a soccer scoreboard rank second in a basketball-led city?

Soccer is a real line in Durham's record, and the LX6630 is built for that sport: an outdoor scoreboard designed primarily for soccer, ranked between two indoor basketball models.

The LX6630 breaks the pattern the other two leaders set. The LX2350 and LX2330 hang in gyms. The LX6630 stands outside.

What the LX6630 model page and spec sheet state

The LX6630 model page describes a scoreboard designed primarily for soccer and calls it the smallest permanent outdoor scoreboard with a 4-digit Period Clock. The model page adds that it shows Period to 4 and Points to 99 for the Guest and Home teams, and that it can also serve football, basketball, lacrosse or baseball. The LX6630 spec sheet lists an outdoor cabinet of 10 ft by 3 ft, a weight of 133 lb, an 11 in digit height in amber or red, and 0.8 Amps at 120 VAC. The LX6630-ETN spec sheet raises the draw to 2.4 Amps. The model is also published as the LX6630-ETN, its Electronic Team Names variant, and Durham's count treats the variants as one model.

Read that combination plainly. A permanent outdoor soccer scoreboard with a full period clock, kept to a compact cabinet, is the outdoor model Durham organizations ordered most. For a soccer program, that is the local reference point.

How unusual is soccer in a city record?

Conventional wisdom says a city's outdoor scoreboard orders go to football first. Durham's record does not follow it: football holds the fewest entries of the four main sports, and soccer outranks it.

The statewide picture shows why the Durham soccer line stands out. Our data for North Carolina as a whole holds 2,224 records across 403 cities and towns, and soccer accounts for 132 of them, far behind basketball at 841 and baseball at 799. Statewide, soccer is a small line. In Durham, it ranks ahead of football.

Measure from where the scoreboard would stand to your farthest seat before you compare models. Before you order, list every sport your own field hosts. Still, the pattern is clear enough to act on. A Durham soccer program shopping for its first scoreboard is following local precedent, not breaking new ground. Start with the range of LED soccer scoreboards, and compare the LX6630's cabinet against the space behind your goal before choosing.

The LX6630's rank also says something about Durham buyers. Their orders give you a starting model; when you ask for a quote, say whether you want the base LX6630 or the LX6630-ETN, because the two spec sheets list different power draws.

How one model appears under different spellings in the record

Southern Durham High School   2350     basketball  2010-08-02
Coca-Cola                     2350-C   basketball  2005-02-14
  → counted together with LX2350 entries as one model

Each line gives the organization, model string, sport and ship date. The two model strings above differ only in suffix. Both count toward the LX2350 total, the same way the state pages count variants.

How do Southern Durham High School's six entries build up across sports and years?

Southern Durham High School holds six entries shipped in two batches: three scoreboards on August 2, 2010, and three more on November 7, 2016, across baseball, basketball, football and soccer.

The citywide model counts are totals. One organization's lines show how those totals accumulate, entry by entry, and Southern Durham High School in Durham, North Carolina carries the most lines of any organization named in this article.

What shipped to Southern Durham High School, and when

Our review of the shipping record shows the first batch, dated 2010-08-02, held a 1060 coded baseball, a 2350 coded basketball and a 2655-B coded basketball. The second batch, dated 2016-11-07, held an LX1060 coded baseball, an LX3625 coded football and an LX6630 coded soccer. The pre-LX names appear here exactly as the record spells them.

Two points stand out. Every one of the four main sports in the city record appears in this one school's six lines. The 2016 soccer line is an LX6630, the same model that ranks second citywide.

The record stops there. It does not say which gym or field each scoreboard went to, why the school ordered it, or how the 2010 and 2016 lines relate to one another. Read the dates as ship dates and nothing more.

How the record lists Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola appears with five entries, every model carrying a -C suffix: a 6630-C coded soccer on 2004-08-23, a 1060-C coded baseball and a 2350-C coded basketball on 2005-02-14, a 1050-C coded baseball on 2009-04-14, and a 1030-C coded baseball on 2011-03-15. The record names Coca-Cola as the organization on each line. It does not say which venue each scoreboard served.

Orders that mix models and sports are routine work at the factory. Many Electro-Mech models share common parts, and standard aluminum parts such as chassis parts, digit masks, gussets and angle brackets are cut, punched and formed before any order arrives. As Chap McMichael puts it, building a scoreboard "is a process which begins long before we receive an order."

Every entry for the organizations named in this article

The table covers the four organizations the record names with a verified website. The other Durham organizations on the list are counted in the city totals but not named here. Fellowship Baptist Academy holds the most recent line in the table, an LX6360 coded soccer and shipped on 2024-02-05.

What should a Durham school, church or rec department check before ordering a gym or field scoreboard?

Check five things: the venue, the main sport, the NFHS high school basketball foul rule, the cabinet size against your wall or posts, and whether you want Electronic Team Names.

1. Match the scoreboard to the venue. The LX2350 and LX2330 spec sheets define indoor scoreboards. The LX6630 spec sheet defines an outdoor one. Start from where the scoreboard will hang or stand.
2. Match it to the main sport. The LX2350 and LX2330 model pages list basketball / multi-sport. The LX6630 model page puts soccer first. Choose the model built around the sport your space hosts most.
3. Check the basketball display against the current foul rule. For high school games played under NFHS rules, which each state association applies, Rule 4-8-1 has, since the 2023-24 season, awarded two free throws once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The change eliminated the one-and-one, which used to start at seven fouls in a half. If your gym hosts church or rec league games under a different rulebook, check that league's own foul rule instead.
4. Measure before you choose a cabinet. Take the exact width and height from the spec sheet of the model you are considering, never from a sister model.
5. Decide on Electronic Team Names early. The LX2350 and LX6630 are each published with an -ETN variant. The LX2330 documents list none.

Step three matters most for gym buyers. A team-foul readout was once read against a half; under the current NFHS rule for high school play it is read against a quarter. Before you order, confirm on the cutsheet what the bonus and foul displays show, and ask how they are operated.

For digit height, I would use the tighter rule rather than the looser one. The sign industry allows 50 feet of viewing distance per inch of lighted character height. Electro-Mech recommends 25 feet per inch of digit height, because a scoreboard also carries captions that have to be read. A larger digit always costs more, so the real mistake is buying a scoreboard too small for the room or field.

Remember who the scoreboard serves first. Its primary job is keeping accurate information, including time, for players and officials. Spectators come second.

The record shows what Durham buyers chose. It cannot choose for you. Ask the Electro-Mech team for a quote on the specific model, sport and venue you have in mind.

What does Durham's record mean for your next scoreboard order?

Durham buyers chose basic scoreboards built for one main sport: two indoor basketball models and one outdoor soccer model lead a list of nearly fifty entries.

The useful lesson is fit, not volume. A gym that hosts basketball first sits naturally with an LX2350 or LX2330. A soccer field sits naturally with the LX6630, whose model page also notes it can be upgraded with ScoreLink wireless communications and Electronic Team Names. I would start every order with the venue and the sport, then take each figure from that model's own spec sheet.

The research section above walks through these findings. Treat Durham's three leading models as a shortlist, and bring your venue, main sport and wall or post measurements to the conversation. Use it as a starting point, then ask the Electro-Mech team to quote the model that fits your space.
