Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping records put South Carolina sixth among all fifty states, with 1,600 orders across 223 cities since 1999 - out of a nationwide total of 24,786. This article works through that record by sport, by model, and by city: starting with the LX2350 at 210 records and the LX2655 at 150, examining the LX2160 shot clock set's 67 records, and explaining which cities in the record are dealer shipping addresses rather than collections of local buyers.
- Which Electro-Mech scoreboard model appears most often in South Carolina's record, and how does that compare to the rest of the catalog?
- Where does South Carolina rank nationally in Electro-Mech's overall sales and shipping data?
- Which cities in the South Carolina record are dealer shipping addresses rather than collections of local buyers?
Quick Answer
The Short Answer
South Carolina ranks sixth nationally in Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records, with 1,600 orders across 223 cities from 1999 through 2025. The LX2350 leads the state at 210 records, followed by the LX2655 at 150 and the LX2160 shot clock set at 67. Basketball accounts for 672 of those 1,600 records - more than any other sport. Columbia holds the largest city total at 137 records; Lake City and Greenwood appear as dealer shipping addresses in the record.
Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping records place South Carolina sixth among all fifty states, with 1,600 orders across 223 cities and towns out of a nationwide total of 24,786. Of those 1,600 records, 1,402 are scoreboards and 198 are accessory displays - shot clocks, play clocks, and practice segment timers that normally ship in pairs - bringing the state's combined display count to 1,763 units.
The LX2350 leads South Carolina's record at 210 orders - the highest count of any single model family in the state. The LX2655 follows at 150, the LX1060 and LX1050 (both baseball scoreboards) each appear at 69, and the LX2160 shot clock set registers 67 records. Basketball accounts for 672 of the 1,600 records, ahead of baseball at 511 and football at 341. The record spans 159 distinct model families and runs from 1999 through 2025. Columbia leads all cities at 137 records. Two cities - Lake City at 40 records and Greenwood at 30 - show the postal-code concentration that marks dealer shipping addresses rather than local buyer networks.
What Does Electro-Mech's South Carolina Record Show?
South Carolina ranks sixth among all fifty states in Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping records - 1,600 orders across 223 cities and towns, out of a nationwide total of 24,786.
The record covers orders placed from 1999 through 2025, and every figure in this article reflects what was sold and shipped, not what is necessarily standing and operating at a venue today.
Of those 1,600 records, 1,402 are scoreboards and 198 are accessory displays. Accessory displays include shot clocks, play clocks, practice segment timers, locker room clocks, and player stat panels. Accessory displays typically ship in pairs, which is why 198 records bring the state's combined display count to 1,763 units. That is the figure our records assign to South Carolina in total.
Basketball leads the state record by a clear margin. The sport breakdown shows 672 basketball orders, 511 baseball orders, 341 football orders, and 76 in other categories. That pattern is consistent with what I have seen across the Southeast: indoor sports drive a large share of scoreboard purchasing, and football stadiums - despite the visibility of the sport - account for fewer orders than either gym or ballfield programs.
| Sport | Records in South Carolina |
|---|---|
| Basketball | 672 |
| Baseball | 511 |
| Football | 341 |
| Other | 76 |
| Total | 1,600 |
One housekeeping point matters for anyone working through the full record. Some older entries carry order labels - lines that read only BASEBALL or SOFTBALL rather than a named buyer. Those are billing labels from an earlier ordering practice, not the names of organizations. They appear in the underlying data, but they do not represent distinct customers, and this article does not treat them as such.
Across South Carolina's 159 distinct model families, five account for the most records: the LX2350 at 210, the LX2655 at 150, the LX1060 at 69, the LX1050 at 69, and the LX2160 at 67. Each count follows the company's variant-consolidation rule: the 2350, 2350-C, and LX2350 all count as one model family, so the figure beside each name represents the full variant line.
South Carolina's record spans a broad geography. Columbia leads all cities at 137 records. Spartanburg and Greenville each appear at 56, with Charleston at 34 and Florence at 32. Those five cities together account for roughly 23 percent of the state's total. The remaining 77 percent is distributed across 218 other cities and towns - a long tail that extends from Upstate communities to coastal districts to small rural county seats.
Which Models Appear Most Often in the South Carolina Record?
The LX2350 leads South Carolina's sales and shipping record with 210 records - the highest count of any single model family in the state.
The LX2655 follows at 150, with two baseball scoreboards (the LX1060 and LX1050) tied at 69 records each, and the LX2160 shot clock set at 67.
Those five model families together account for 565 of the state's 1,600 records, roughly 35 percent of the total. The remaining 65 percent spreads across 154 other model families, which reflects how wide the Electro-Mech catalog runs: over 180 models across all sports and applications. A state's top-five list captures the most common choices, but it omits the football, soccer, wrestling, and specialty models that fill the rest of the record.
| Model Family | Records in South Carolina | Primary Application |
|---|---|---|
| LX2350 | 210 | Basketball / Multi-Sport (indoor scoreboard) |
| LX2655 | 150 | Basketball / Volleyball / Wrestling (indoor scoreboard) |
| LX1060 | 69 | Baseball (outdoor scoreboard) |
| LX1050 | 69 | Baseball (outdoor scoreboard) |
| LX2160 | 67 | Basketball shot clock set - accessory display, ships in pairs |
The two leading models - the LX2350 and LX2655 - are both indoor basketball scoreboards, consistent with basketball's position at the top of the state's sport breakdown. Both use rust-free all-aluminum construction and single-cabinet design, suited to the wall-mount installation that most South Carolina gyms require.
The LX2160 at 67 records is a different kind of entry. It is an accessory display - a shot clock set that ships as a pair, not a standalone scoreboard. When you see 67 LX2160 records in South Carolina, those represent 67 orders, each producing two shot clock display units. All 67 carry a basketball designation. The LX2160 works alongside a basketball scoreboard; it does not substitute for one.
Each model count in this article follows Electro-Mech's own consolidation rule: variants of one model count together. The LX2350 total of 210 includes older sub-variants and the current LX2350 designation. The LX2655 total of 150 spans the full 2655 family from 1999 through 2025. When a particular model-designation count differs from the family count - for example, the modern LX2655 (shipped under the LX designation from 2011 through 2025) accounts for 41 South Carolina records on its own - that is because the family total adds in pre-LX predecessors and earlier variant designations that resolve to the same model line.
The LX1060 and LX1050, both baseball scoreboards, each appear at exactly 69 records in South Carolina. Their equal count is coincidental rather than a product of any catalog structure, but it does reflect consistent demand for two closely related outdoor baseball models across the state.
Where in South Carolina Does the Record Show the Most Orders?
Columbia leads all South Carolina cities in Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record, with 137 records - more than twice the next-largest cities.
Spartanburg and Greenville follow at 56 records each, then Charleston at 34 and Florence at 32. Below those five, the record extends across 218 other cities and towns, most with only one or two orders on file.
Columbia's position at the top reflects the density of its school and recreational infrastructure. As the state capital and home of the University of South Carolina, the Columbia metro concentrates public school districts, county recreation departments, and college athletic facilities in a way that smaller cities cannot match. Greenville and Spartanburg share the Upstate's population core and carry similar institutional density, which explains why they appear at equal counts.
Two cities in the record require a different reading: Lake City and Greenwood. Lake City shows 40 records - but 98 percent of all South Carolina records filed under that city's address concentrate on a single postal code. Greenwood shows 30 records with 77 percent on one postal code. That level of concentration on a single ZIP is the mark of a dealer shipping address: it reflects where Electro-Mech shipped the displays, not where a population of local buyers was located. These records do not indicate that 40 or 30 local organizations in Lake City and Greenwood each bought a scoreboard. The record is silent on where those displays ultimately went.
The largest named buyers in the South Carolina record - listed exactly as the record spells their names - are Bluffton High School, Loris High School, Landrum High School, and Woodruff High School. The record does not say what each purchase replaced, why the timing was chosen, or what anything cost. Where the record is silent, this article does not speculate.
Charleston at 34 records anchors a coastal metro with a mixed public-school and recreational base. Florence at 32 records serves the Pee Dee region, which has historically supported active baseball and basketball programs. Neither city shows a postal-code concentration that would flag it as a dealer shipping address.
South Carolina's 223 cities and towns include county seats, small municipalities, and rural addresses - many appearing only once or twice in the full record. The state's school district structure distributes high schools and middle schools widely, and those facilities show up throughout the long tail of the record, reflecting purchasing spread broadly across the state rather than concentrated in a handful of metro markets.
South Carolina City Record: Cities with More Than 30 Orders
| City | Records in the South Carolina File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Columbia | 137 | State capital - largest city total in the record |
| Spartanburg | 56 | Upstate metro |
| Greenville | 56 | Upstate metro |
| Lake City | 40 | Dealer shipping address - 98% of entries on one postal code |
| Charleston | 34 | Coastal metro |
| Florence | 32 | Pee Dee region |
| Greenwood | 30 | Dealer shipping address - 77% of entries on one postal code |
Lake City and Greenwood are dealer shipping addresses in the record: their entry counts reflect where Electro-Mech shipped displays, not where local organizations purchased them. Columbia, Spartanburg, Greenville, Charleston, and Florence show no such postal-code concentration and represent local purchasing activity in the record.

What Do the LX2350 and LX2655 Spec Sheets Show?
According to the LX2350 Spec Sheet, the LX2350 is an indoor LED scoreboard for basketball and multi-sport use, with a cabinet measuring 9 feet wide by 3 feet tall and weighing 89 pounds.
The LX2655 is the taller counterpart in the same indoor line - specified for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling - and its spec sheet puts the cabinet at 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall, weighing 133 pounds.
Both scoreboards use single-cabinet design with heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing and rust-free all-aluminum construction. The accent material on each is 3-mil vinyl. Wall mounting hardware ships with each model. The cabinet construction is the same between the two; the differences lie in height, weight, and the range of sports each is specified for.
The digit heights follow the same hierarchy on both models. Scores and the game clock both display on 12-inch digits. The period indicator uses 9-inch digits. Bonus and possession indicators use 3-inch indicators. All digits and indicators are formed from matrices of super-bright LEDs in standard amber, red, and green. The LX2350 Cutsheet notes fifty programmable brightness levels, which allows the operator to calibrate the display for gymnasium ambient light at different times of day or season.
Where the two models diverge is in cabinet size and power draw. According to the LX2350 Spec Sheet, the LX2350 draws 1.2 amps at 120 VAC. The LX2655 Spec Sheet puts the LX2655 at 1.5 amps at 120 VAC. The extra two feet of cabinet height - and 44 pounds of additional weight - accommodate the display rows for volleyball set scores and wrestling periods that the LX2655 carries.
| Specification | LX2350 | LX2655 |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet dimensions | 9 ft × 3 ft | 9 ft × 5 ft |
| Weight | 89 lb | 133 lb |
| Power draw | 1.2 A, 120 VAC | 1.5 A, 120 VAC |
| Score digit height | 12 in | 12 in |
| Game clock digit height | 12 in | 12 in |
| Period digit height | 9 in | 9 in |
| Bonus / Possession indicators | 3 in | 3 in |
| Sport designation | Basketball / Multi-Sport | Basketball / Volleyball / Wrestling |
| South Carolina records (full family) | 210 | 150 |
Spec numbers belong to the named model and its variants - never to the catalog as a whole or to a different model. A buyer comparing quotes should verify that any amperage, weight, or digit height figure is matched to the specific model under discussion. The LX2350's 1.2-amp draw belongs to the LX2350; it does not characterize any other scoreboard in the catalog.
Nationally, the modern LX2655 (shipped under the LX designation from 2011 through 2025) has 756 records across 38 states, all basketball. South Carolina accounts for 41 of those 756 records - sixth nationally for this model - with Columbia, SC contributing 6 of those 41 records. The LX2350's leading position in South Carolina at 210 family records reflects consistent gym and multi-sport demand across the state over more than two decades.
Before
After
Before: Basketball Scoreboard Without Shot Clocks
A gymnasium with only a game scoreboard displays the score, game clock, and period. Shot-clock timing - if required at the level of play - is managed separately, often by a secondary timing device placed at the scorer's table. Players and officials must locate that device rather than reading the shot clock in their sightline near the basket.
After: Adding a Pair of LX2160 Shot Clock Displays
The same gymnasium, with the LX2160 shot clock set added alongside the scoreboard, shows the shot clock on two dedicated displays mounted at each end of the court. The LX2160 draws its timing from the existing scoreboard's game clock. Players and officials read the shot clock near the basket, in the same area of focus as the play, without consulting a separate device.
The LX2160 Shot Clock Set and What South Carolina's Record Shows for It
The LX2160 is not a standalone scoreboard. It is an accessory display - specifically, a shot clock set that ships in pairs, mounts at each end of the court, and operates alongside a qualifying basketball scoreboard. South Carolina's 67 LX2160 records represent 67 orders, each producing two shot clock display units; all 67 carry a basketball designation.
Nationally, the LX2160 has 565 records across 546 organizations in 36 states, all basketball, with orders placed from 2012 through 2025. Georgia leads that national record at 267 records. South Carolina, with 56 records under the modern LX2160 designation alone, ranks second in the nation for this model - a position that reflects the depth of the state's basketball program activity well beyond the scoreboard itself.
Two South Carolina cities in the LX2160 record function as dealer shipping addresses rather than collections of local buyers. Irmo, SC shows 15 LX2160 records with 100 percent of those entries concentrated on a single postal code (ZIP 29063) - the same postal-concentration pattern that marks a distribution point rather than local purchasing. Lake City, SC shows 9 LX2160 records with 98 percent on ZIP 29560 and falls into the same category. The record tells us where Electro-Mech shipped the displays; it does not say where those shot clock sets ultimately went. Columbia, SC shows 8 LX2160 records with no such postal concentration, which suggests those records more likely reflect buyers located in the city itself.
A facility that already holds a qualifying Electro-Mech basketball scoreboard from roughly the past 10 to 15 years can likely use that scoreboard to drive a pair of LX2160 shot clocks - the shot clocks draw their timing from the scoreboard's game clock. For any facility without a current Electro-Mech basketball scoreboard, the scoreboard comes first; the shot clock set follows. Given the dominance of the LX2350 and LX2655 in South Carolina, those are the logical pairing options for most facilities in the state.
South Carolina's second-place national ranking for the LX2160 - and sixth place in the overall Electro-Mech record - reflects sustained investment in basketball display infrastructure across 223 cities and towns over more than two decades. That investment spread from large school districts in Columbia and Greenville to recreation departments and county facilities across the Pee Dee region and the coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Electro-Mech orders does South Carolina have on record?
South Carolina has 1,600 records in Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping data, across 223 cities and towns, from 1999 through 2025. That places the state sixth among all fifty states in a nationwide total of 24,786 records.
Which sport accounts for the most scoreboard orders in South Carolina?
Basketball leads with 672 records, followed by baseball at 511 and football at 341. The remaining 76 records cover other sports. Basketball's lead reflects the volume of indoor gym purchasing relative to outdoor stadiums across the state.
What is the most common scoreboard model in South Carolina?
The LX2350, an indoor LED scoreboard for basketball and multi-sport use, leads the state at 210 records - the highest count of any model family. According to the LX2350 Spec Sheet, the cabinet is 9 feet wide by 3 feet tall and weighs 89 pounds. The LX2655, a taller indoor model at 9 feet by 5 feet and 133 pounds, follows at 150 records.
Is the LX2160 a scoreboard?
No. The LX2160 is a shot clock set - an accessory display that ships in pairs and works alongside a basketball scoreboard. South Carolina's 67 LX2160 records represent 67 orders, each producing two shot clock display units. The LX2160 is not a standalone scoreboard and should not be compared directly with scoreboard counts.
Are Lake City and Greenwood local buyer cities in the record?
No. Lake City shows 40 records with 98 percent on a single postal code, and Greenwood shows 30 records with 77 percent on one postal code - the pattern that marks a dealer shipping address. Those records show where Electro-Mech shipped displays, not where local organizations purchased them.
Who are the largest named buyers in the South Carolina record?
The record names Bluffton High School, Loris High School, Landrum High School, and Woodruff High School as South Carolina's largest buyers. Each name is reproduced exactly as the record spells it. The record does not say what each order contained, what it replaced, or what it cost.
Do these records show what is currently installed at each venue?
No. The record shows what Electro-Mech sold and shipped from Wrightsville, Georgia - not what is standing and operating at a venue today. A scoreboard can sit in storage for months between shipment and installation. Electro-Mech's records track what left the factory, not what is powered on at any given address.
