The LX2655 has a 14-year sales and shipping record and a spec sheet that says exactly what the display weighs, how tall its digits are, and how many amps it draws. This article works through both - one at a time, with neither source allowed to answer the other's questions.
- What does the LX2655 spec sheet say about dimensions, digit heights, and amperage?
- How many LX2655 scoreboards did Electro-Mech ship, and to which states?
- How do dealer shipping addresses affect how city-level data should be read?
Quick Answer
The Short Answer
The LX2655 is a 9-foot-by-5-foot, 133-pound indoor LED scoreboard for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling, drawing 1.5 amps at 120 VAC (base model) or 2.2 amps for the ETN variant. Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records show 756 units shipped to 744 organizations across 38 states between 2011 and 2025, all with a basketball order-line code. The record and the spec sheet are separate sources - each answers its own question, and neither substitutes for the other.
Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records hold 756 LX2655 entries spanning 744 organizations in 38 states, shipped between 2011 and 2025 - every order line coded basketball. The spec sheet for this display states 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall, 133 pounds, 12-inch Points and Period Clock digits, and 1.5 amps at 120 VAC for the base model.
I want to be precise about what those two figures represent, because they come from entirely different documents. The shipping record tells you where LX2655 units went and who bought them. The spec sheet tells you what the display is - its dimensions, its digit heights, its electrical draw, its cabinet material. Neither document answers the other's question, and I'd resist the temptation to let one fill in what the other leaves blank.
This article works through both sources in sequence. Spec sheet first - dimensions, weight, digit heights, LED colors, electrical specs, and how the base model differs from the ETN variant. Record second - state distribution, city lines, the dealer-address pattern, and what 756 records against 744 organizations actually means about buying behavior. Where either source is silent, this article will say so.
What the LX2655 Spec Sheet Says About the Scoreboard
The LX2655 is a single-cabinet indoor LED scoreboard for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling, built by Electro-Mech in Wrightsville, Georgia.
According to our spec sheets, the LX2655 measures 9 feet wide by 5 feet tall and weighs 133 pounds. The cabinet is a single-piece design with heavy-duty extruded aluminum framing - rust-free, all-aluminum construction throughout. Wall mounting hardware ships with the unit. A 3-mil vinyl accent panel completes the enclosure, as of .
Digit heights follow a three-tier hierarchy. Guest Points, Home Points, and the Period Clock all stand at 12 inches - the rows that players, coaches, and officials read from the farthest point in the gym. Secondary rows - period, fouls, time outs, player number, and player foul - run at 9 inches. Bonus and possession indicators drop to 3 inches. Standard LED colors are amber, red, and green.
Electro-Mech recommends 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of digit height for indoor scoreboards - a standard deliberately tighter than the sign industry's 50-foot rule, because a scoreboard also carries captions that officials must read at the same distance. On that basis, the 12-inch score and clock digits reach 300 feet, and the 9-inch secondary rows reach 225 feet. Most gymnasium seating layouts fall well within those ranges.
| Specification | LX2655 (Base) | LX2655-ETN |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 9 ft × 5 ft | 9 ft × 5 ft |
| Weight | 133 lb | 133 lb |
| Amperage | 1.5 A | 2.2 A |
| Voltage | 120 VAC | 120 VAC |
| Electronic Team Names | No | Yes |
| LED Colors (standard) | Amber, Red, Green | Amber, Red, Green |
| Cabinet material | Extruded aluminum | Extruded aluminum |
The ETN variant - the LX2655-ETN - adds Electronic Team Names to the display. That addition raises amperage from 1.5 amps to 2.2 amps; both variants operate on 120 VAC. I'd point that difference out to any electrician sizing a panel circuit. A number that applies to one variant does not apply to the other, and treating a catalog-wide figure as settled will lead to an undersized circuit on the ETN version. Both variants use the same mounting hardware and the same cabinet footprint, so the wall prep is identical between them.
What the Sales and Shipping Records Hold for the LX2655
Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records show 756 LX2655 units shipped between 2011 and 2025, purchased by 744 organizations across 38 states.
Every one of the 756 order lines carries a basketball sport code. That code records how the order was filed, not what the spec sheet says about the product's intended use. The spec sheet covers that; the record does not. Where those two sources agree, they agree independently. Where one is silent, the other fills nothing in.
The gap between records and organizations - 756 records against 744 organizations - is the most meaningful pattern in the data. Twelve organizations appear more than once, which means the overwhelming majority bought exactly one LX2655. This is not a model that athletic programs order in bulk or return to repeatedly. One scoreboard for one gymnasium is the rule.
There is one thing these records do not say, and it is worth stating plainly: a scoreboard that ships is not necessarily a scoreboard that goes up the same week. Shipped units can sit in storage for months or years before installation. Electro-Mech knows what it sold and shipped; what stands in a gym at this moment is a different question, and the record does not answer it.
- Total records: 756 LX2655 units
- Distinct organizations: 744
- States represented: 38
- Date range: 2011 through 2025
- Sport code on every order line: basketball
- Organizations that appear more than once: 12
The record also says nothing about what any of these scoreboards replaced, what they cost, how long they have lasted, or whether any particular unit was under warranty at a given time. Those details are not in the data. I'd be careful about reading more into the record than it contains - the value of this source is in what it states precisely, not in what can be inferred around the edges.
What the record does establish clearly is geographic reach: 756 units across 38 states over fourteen years. That distribution tells a real story about where the LX2655 found buyers, which the next two sections work through in detail.
Electro-Mech's basketball scoreboard page includes additional product information and configuration options for the LX-series indoor displays, including the LX2655 and LX2655-ETN. The manuals page provides access to the LX2655 owner's manual for operators who need operating instructions for their installed display.
Which States Lead the LX2655 Shipping Record
Georgia holds 149 of the 756 records - the largest state share by a wide margin - followed by Florida with 93 and North Carolina with 80.
The eight states shown in the table below account for more than half of all 756 LX2655 records. Every one of them is in the South or the border South. The remaining 30 states each hold smaller shares, and 12 states in the record hold a single row apiece. The LX2655 sold broadly across the country, but it sold heavily in a concentrated regional corridor.
| State | LX2655 Records |
|---|---|
| Georgia | 149 |
| Florida | 93 |
| North Carolina | 80 |
| Tennessee | 74 |
| Alabama | 49 |
| South Carolina | 41 |
| Louisiana | 28 |
| Texas | 26 |
Georgia's lead reflects both the company's home-state presence and its long dealer network across the Southeast. Electro-Mech has manufactured scoreboards in Wrightsville, Georgia since 1963, and that proximity matters in a product category where buyers often call a local representative first. North Carolina and Tennessee together add 154 records, giving the Appalachian corridor a strong presence in the data.
Florida's 93 records are worth examining carefully. As the next section shows, a meaningful share of Florida's city rows flow through a single dealer shipping address in Springhill. State totals count real shipments to real organizations - each of the 93 Florida rows represents a separate organization that received an LX2655 - but the city distribution within a state can look more concentrated than the actual buyer geography when a dealer is involved.
The state figures come directly from our sales and shipping records and are not adjusted or estimated. They count every organization in that state that received an LX2655 under the exact LX2655 model string, between 2011 and 2025. No other model variants are included.

How to Read the City Lines in the LX2655 Record
Several cities carry 10 or more LX2655 rows, but three of those cities are dealer shipping addresses - ZIP codes where a single distributor received and redistributed orders across a wide surrounding region.
Recognizing a dealer address requires looking at ZIP concentration. When 90 percent or more of a city's rows in the full record sit on a single ZIP code, that ZIP almost certainly belongs to a dealer warehouse, not to a cluster of local schools. Three cities in the LX2655 record meet that test:
- Albertville, Alabama - 16 LX2655 rows. In the full record for this city across all models, 98 percent of rows share ZIP 35950. That concentration marks a dealer address. The 16 rows represent real organizations served by that dealer, but the record does not say which towns those organizations sit in.
- Springhill, Florida - 11 LX2655 rows. In the full record for this city across all models, 100 percent of rows share ZIP 34609. Every row under the Springhill city label went to one address. Same interpretation applies.
- Gainesville, Georgia - 9 LX2655 rows. In the full record for this city, 83 percent of rows share ZIP 30504. The majority of Gainesville rows are a dealer address, not local buyers in Gainesville.
The cities with direct buyer records look different. Savannah, Georgia holds 11 LX2655 rows without that ZIP concentration, as does Montgomery, Alabama. Pensacola, Florida holds 10; Lafayette, Louisiana holds 9; Macon, Georgia holds 8; Atlanta, Georgia holds 7; Columbia, South Carolina holds 6. In each of these cases, the record reflects organizations in or near that city - not a single warehouse ZIP.
The practical takeaway: never treat a city row count as a head-count of local schools with an LX2655 in their gym. A city with 16 rows might have 16 different buyer organizations spread across three counties; it might also be a dealer's receiving address. The record names the city and the organization; it does not map either to a specific building or field.
What the record also does not say is where any specific scoreboard currently stands. A scoreboard shipped to Albertville in 2019 might have been installed that fall, or it might still be in a storage room. The record documents the sale and the ship date - nothing beyond that.
Before
After
Two Sources, Two Different Questions
What the spec sheet answers: "What is the LX2655?" - dimensions (9 ft × 5 ft, 133 lb), digit heights (12-inch Points and Clock, 9-inch secondary rows), amperage (1.5 A base / 2.2 A ETN), LED colors, cabinet material. These facts belong to the product itself and do not change based on who bought it or where it shipped.
What the sales and shipping record answers: "Where did LX2655 units go, and to whom?" - 756 shipments, 744 organizations, 38 states, 2011 through 2025, all coded basketball on the order line. These facts belong to transactions, not to the product, and they say nothing about what the scoreboard weighs or how bright its digits are.
The most common error is mixing the two: inferring specs from the record ("it shipped to a basketball program, so it must be basketball-only") or inferring buyer geography from specs ("the spec sheet says indoor, so schools in warm states probably don't need it"). Neither inference is valid. Each source answers its own question cleanly. Neither answers the other's.
LX2655 Variants in the Record and on the Spec Sheet
The 756 records discussed throughout this article are for the exact model string "LX2655" only - eight related variant strings in the same product family are counted separately and not included in that total.
Electro-Mech's records hold the following model strings in the 2655 family, each counted independently:
| Model String | Records (separate count) |
|---|---|
| 2655 | 569 |
| 2655-C | 287 |
| 2655-PC | 212 |
| LX2655-L | 153 |
| 2655-CB | 90 |
| 2655-PA | 65 |
| 2655-PCB | 45 |
| 2655-L | 39 |
None of those strings is the same product as the LX2655. They have different feature configurations, different suffixes for a reason. Folding them into a single count would overstate the LX2655's footprint and describe a product that does not actually exist. The 756 number stands on its own.
On the spec sheet side, the picture is simpler. Two documented variants appear in our spec sheets: the base LX2655 and the LX2655-ETN. The only difference between them is the Electronic Team Names feature and the amperage that addition requires - 1.5 amps for the base, 2.2 amps for the ETN version. Cabinet dimensions, weight, digit heights, and LED colors are identical across both. ScoreLink RF wireless control is available with either variant; about 4 in 5 customers choose wireless over a cable run.
The distinction between what a model string suffix means in a historical record versus what a spec sheet documents for a current product is easy to blur. In practice, I'd suggest treating them as two different questions: "What has Electro-Mech shipped in the 2655 family?" (the full variant table above) and "What does Electro-Mech currently document and sell as the LX2655?" (the base model and ETN variant on the spec sheets). Both questions have clean answers; they just come from different sources.
For anyone evaluating an LX2655 purchase today, the spec sheet is the authoritative reference. The sales and shipping records document history; they do not define current product specifications or current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions About the LX2655
What sports does the LX2655 display cover?
The LX2655 spec sheet describes it as an indoor LED scoreboard for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling. The digit set includes Guest Points, Home Points, Period Clock, Period, Fouls, Time Outs, Player Number, and Player Foul, plus 3-inch Bonus and Possession indicators.
What is the difference between the LX2655 and the LX2655-ETN?
The LX2655-ETN adds Electronic Team Names. That addition raises the draw from 1.5 amps to 2.2 amps. Both variants share the same 9-foot-by-5-foot cabinet, 133-pound weight, digit heights, LED colors, and 120 VAC voltage requirement. Wall prep is identical for both.
How many states appear in the LX2655 shipping record?
The record spans 38 states. Georgia leads with 149 records, followed by Florida (93), North Carolina (80), and Tennessee (74). The full 8-state Southeast corridor - Georgia through Texas - accounts for more than half of all 756 records.
What are the digit heights on the LX2655?
According to our spec sheets, Guest Points, Home Points, and the Period Clock display at 12 inches. Period, Fouls, Time Outs, Player Number, and Player Foul display at 9 inches. Bonus and Possession indicators are 3 inches.
How many LX2655 units did Electro-Mech ship, and to how many buyers?
The record shows 756 units shipped to 744 organizations between 2011 and 2025. Only 12 organizations appear more than once, which means the vast majority of buyers purchased a single LX2655.
Why does Albertville, Alabama show 16 LX2655 records for such a small city?
Albertville functions as a dealer shipping address. Ninety-eight percent of the city's rows across all models share ZIP 35950 - a single distribution point serving buyers across a wider region. The 16 rows represent real organizations; the record does not say where those organizations are located.
How does Electro-Mech recommend sizing a gymnasium scoreboard?
Electro-Mech uses 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of digit height - half the sign industry's 50-foot rule - because a scoreboard carries captions that officials also need to read. The LX2655's 12-inch score and clock digits reach 300 feet on that basis.
Are the sales and shipping records the same as installation records?
No. The record documents what Electro-Mech sold and shipped. A shipped scoreboard can sit in storage for months or years before going up. The record gives organization, model, and ship date - it does not confirm when or whether any unit was installed.
Key Takeaways
Key Takeaways
- The LX2655 spec sheet gives: 9 ft × 5 ft, 133 lb, 12-inch Points and Clock digits, 1.5 A / 120 VAC (base) or 2.2 A (ETN variant)
- Electro-Mech's sales and shipping records show 756 units to 744 organizations in 38 states, 2011 - 2025, all coded basketball
- The 756-to-744 ratio means nearly all buyers purchased exactly one LX2655
- Georgia (149), Florida (93), North Carolina (80), and Tennessee (74) lead the state count
- Albertville AL, Springhill FL, and Gainesville GA are dealer shipping addresses, not local buyer concentrations
- The spec sheet and the shipping record answer different questions and must not be mixed
The LX2655 record is one of the cleaner illustrations I can offer of how to read Electro-Mech's shipping data responsibly. 756 records, 744 organizations, 38 states, 14 years - those numbers are precise and verifiable. What they don't cover is equally clear: no specs, no install dates, no replacement history, nothing about what any of these organizations paid. The spec sheet covers what the record doesn't, and vice versa. That clean division is actually useful; it means each source can be cited with confidence in its own lane.
For buyers evaluating the LX2655 today, the spec sheet is the right starting point - specifically the LX2655 or LX2655-ETN spec sheet from Electro-Mech, which will give you current dimensions, current amperage figures, and the LED color options available. The shipping record is context, not specification. For current pricing and lead times, the Electro-Mech support team is the appropriate contact; neither this article nor any record answers those questions.
