Electro-Mech is a family-owned LED scoreboard manufacturer in Wrightsville, Georgia, with roughly 28 years of production in this category. This article presents the company's Savannah installation record - defined as every display board shipped to the metro area since 1999, organized by four fields: organization name, model number, sport label, and ship date. The Electro-Mech control console is a portable unit stored separately from the display; the installation record tracks the display cabinet, not the console.

Three models lead the Savannah count: the LX2655 appears most often at 10 entries, the LX2160 follows at 9, and the LX3645 shows 7. The LX2655 is Electro-Mech's indoor multi-sport board, designed for gyms and recreation centers, running on standard 120 VAC power. The LX3645 is the outdoor football model with Electronic Team Names. No LX2160 spec sheet is reproduced here, so that model is described through its installation record entries alone. For the LX2655 and LX3645, this article draws from each model's own spec sheet and manual.

What Does Electro-Mech's Savannah Installation Record Actually Show?

Our installation records document 109 boards shipped to the Savannah area between 1999 and 2024 across 68 distinct organization-field entries - a span of a quarter century in a single Georgia market.

That number is worth sitting with for a moment. One hundred and nine scoreboards across 68 entries means some buyers appear more than once. Our data shows 23 of the 68 entries hold more than one board, while 45 hold exactly one. A buyer who ordered two boards in the same season may appear twice in the organization field with slightly different spellings - "Island High School" and "Islands High School" appear to be the same buyer. The next section returns to that naming question in detail, because it matters when you use this record as a reference.

The sport breakdown is unambiguous: baseball accounts for 70 of the 109 records, football for 25, basketball for 9, soccer for 2, and 3 entries carry no sport code. That is not surprising for a coastal Georgia market where spring baseball programs are strong at every level from YMCA leagues to NCAA. Football orders, while fewer, skew toward the larger end of the catalog.

On the generation question - LX-series versus pre-LX - our data shows 75 of the 109 boards are LX-series and 34 are pre-LX. The older generation is concentrated in the early portion of the record. By the mid-2010s, virtually every order in the Savannah record is an LX board. The three models named in this article - the LX2655, the LX2160, and the LX3645 - are all LX-series and together account for 26 of the 109 records: the LX2655 appears 10 times, the LX2160 nine times, and the LX3645 seven times. No other model appears more than four times in this city record.

What gives the three leading models their weight is who bought them. Schools, recreation departments, a university and a YMCA chose them independently, across different years - so the counts reflect repeated buyer decisions rather than one large order placed once.

One thing the record does not tell you: it does not explain why any board was purchased, what it cost, or whether it was the first board a venue had ever installed. Where the record is silent, this article says so rather than guessing.

Which Organizations in the Savannah Area Have Purchased Electro-Mech Scoreboards, and What Did They Buy?

Our records show 109 boards shipped across 68 organization-field entries between 1999 and 2024 - every one reproduced below exactly as the record spells it.

The table below presents all 109 records. Organization names appear exactly as they are written in the record - including spelling variants that may represent the same buyer. Notes on those variants, on facility names, and on the five entries that sit in Effingham and Bryan counties rather than Chatham follow in the next section. Three records carry no ship date; those rows show "no date" rather than a guessed year.

The LX2655 and LX2160 appear throughout the baseball rows; the LX3645 concentrates in the football column, particularly in the 2021-2024 window. I'll describe the specifications of each in later sections.

What Do the LX2655's Digit Heights Tell You About What It Is Designed For?

The LX2655 spec sheet puts primary digit height - the rows carrying scores and the game clock - at 12 inches, with secondary rows at 9 inches. At Electro-Mech's recommended ratio of 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of digit height, 12-inch primary digits are readable from 300 feet. That is appropriate for a gymnasium, where the farthest seat is typically well within that range.

The distinction between primary and secondary digit heights matters because a multi-sport indoor board carries more rows than just scores and a clock - captions, period indicators, and team name displays all compete for reading distance. A 9-inch secondary row reads clearly from 225 feet. In the Savannah record, the LX2655 appears under baseball and basketball labels, both of which are multi-sport or single-sport applications where the board's indoor configuration is the right match.

How Do You Read the Organization Field, and What Does It Not Tell You?

Thirteen buyers in the Savannah record appear under more than one spelling - each version reproduced exactly as written, with a note that they appear to be the same buyer.

Reading the organization field carefully matters because a raw count of 68 entries does not equal 68 independent organizations. Some of those entries appear to represent the same buyer recorded differently at different times. Here are all thirteen pairs and groups, spelled as the record has them:

• Savannah Christian Prep / Savannah Christian School / Savannah Christian Middle School - three separate entries that appear to be the same institution at different points in time or under different administrative names
• Savannah Country Day / Savannah Country Day School
• Armstrong Atlantic State University / Armstrong State University - the university renamed in 2012; both names appear in the record
• Savannah State University / Savannah State University Central Receiving
• Island High School / Islands High School
• Beach High School / Alfred Beach High School
• Benedictine Military / Benedictine Military School
• Bethesda School / Bethesda Academy
• Bible Baptist Christian School / Bible Baptist School
• Oglethorpe Charter School / Oglethorpe Charter
• St Andrews School / St.Andrews / St.Andrews School
• St.Peter The Apostle School / St.Peter the Apostie School - the second entry misspells "Apostle" as "Apostie"
• Woodville-Tompkins High School / Woodville Thompkins High School / Woodville-Tompkins Institute

I reproduce each spelling here precisely as the record has it - not merged, not corrected - because the record is the record. Where the names differ, the record does not say whether the entry reflects a legal name change, an administrative variation, or a data-entry inconsistency.

Several entries in the organization field are not organizations at all. Memorial Stadium, Ambuc Baseball Complex, and Daffin Park-Activity Building name facilities, not the institutions that operate them. Coastal Middle School Gym and Building & Grounds do the same. The entries labeled Baseball and Softball are order-line sport labels, not customers - the record does not name the buyer behind them. Savannah Chain Reps and Savannah Construction & Preser appear to be businesses; the record does not describe what they do or why they ordered a scoreboard.

Five entries in the table sit outside Chatham County entirely. Effingham Co Parks & rec, S Effingham Middle School, South Effingham High School, and Rincon Rec are in Effingham County. South Bryan Recreation is in Bryan County. All five used a Savannah address as the shipping destination. The record does not say where the boards were ultimately installed.

Three records carry no ship date: the two Savannah High School entries for LX1440 and LX3265, and the Chatham County Parks & Rec entry for an LX1030. The record is simply silent on when those orders shipped.

In practice, the takeaway is straightforward: use the table as an evidence set, not a clean organization census. The model and sport columns are reliable; the organization column requires the caveats above.

Each record entry carries four fields: the organization name exactly as spelled in the order, the model number, the sport label, and the ship date. No contact information, no price, and no project number is included.

Organization              | Model    | Sport    | Ship Date
--------------------------|----------|----------|------------
Alfred Beach High School  | LX3645   | Football | 2023-12-18
Savannah High School      | LX2655   | Baseball | 2012-05-22
Frank Callen Boys Club    | LX2350-L | Baseball | 2024-11-04

Those four fields are the total data available per entry. The record does not say why each board was bought, what it cost, or what it replaced.

How Did the Buyers and the Models in the Savannah Record Change From 1999 to 2024?

The record runs from a 1999-11-01 ship date at the start to a 2024-11-04 date at the close - 25 years of scoreboard purchases visible through ship dates alone.

The earliest entry is Windsor Forest High School's 2655-C-Extra Ad basketball board, shipped November 1, 1999. Through the early 2000s, nearly all Savannah orders are pre-LX models: the 2350, 2550, 2650, 3150, 3250, 3450, and 3530. MM-series boards appear in 2003 and 2004, purchased by Daffin Park-Activity Building, Johnson High School, Jenkins High School, and Savannah Christian Middle School. The last clearly pre-LX entry in the record is the Building & Grounds order for a 1372, shipped 2009-03-25.

The transition is visible in the Calvary Day School entries: a 2650-PC-DP basketball board in 2000, two 2650s in 2005, then a 1030-LR in 2010 - three different model generations across a decade. That pattern - one school placing orders years apart and landing on different catalog generations each time - is common in this record. The record does not say why any of those orders was placed.

From 2011 onward, the Savannah record is almost entirely LX-series. Armstrong Atlantic State University ordered LX1750, LX6430, and LX6850 boards in 2011 and 2012. Savannah State University added an LX1730, LX1720, and LX3640 in the same window. Savannah High School's first two LX orders - an LX2655 baseball board and an LX3365 football board - both show a ship date of 2012-05-22. The LX2655 and LX2160 begin appearing regularly from 2013 onward.

The most concentrated window in the football section is December 2023, when six LX3645 boards shipped on 2023-12-18 to Savannah High School, Alfred Beach High School, Islands High School, Johnson High School, New Hampstead High School, and Woodville Thompkins High School. Six entries, one date. The record does not explain why those orders coincided.

Our data shows the LX2160 is the most-installed Electro-Mech model across all of Georgia, with 249 installations statewide recorded as of the May 2026 snapshot. In the Savannah record specifically, the LX2160 appears nine times between 2014 and 2022. The statewide pattern and the local pattern align.

The most recent entries are from late 2024: Frank Callen Boys Club (LX2350-L, 2024-11-04), Savannah Christian Prep (LX3640, 2024-11-04), and Savannah Country Day (LX7740, 2024-11-04). The record is current through the end of 2024.

What Makes an Outdoor Football Scoreboard the Right Fit for a High School Stadium?

For a high school stadium, the working rule is 25 feet of viewing distance per inch of digit height - and outdoor weather resistance, because the cabinet stays outside year-round.

The LX3645 is the Electro-Mech football model that Savannah programs chose seven times in this record. Football accounts for 25 of the 109 Savannah boards, and the LX3645 holds seven of those entries. Most of those orders appear in the record's later years, with the December 2023 cluster - discussed in the previous section - representing the largest group. The record does not explain the timing, but the concentration in recent years tracks with the broader Georgia pattern where football programs moved to LX-series boards over the same window.

The picture is different for indoor sports. According to the Electro-Mech LX2655 product page, the LX2655 is an indoor scoreboard for multiple sports. Our spec sheets put the LX2655 base model at 1.5 amps on 120 VAC, in a 9-by-5-foot cabinet that weighs 133 pounds. The 12-inch primary digits for scores and clock, and 9-inch secondary digits, are sized for indoor viewing distances. That compact, low-draw profile is why the same cabinet works for a middle school gym and a college recreation center at equal draw and footprint.

The LX2655 appears 10 times in the Savannah record - more than any other single model. The LX2160 follows at nine. Without a spec sheet, what can be stated about the LX2160 comes from the installation record itself: nine orders, all under baseball or basketball labels, shipped between 2014 and 2022. The two models fill the same indoor role in this market, though the record is silent on why buyers chose one over the other in any specific case.

One point worth noting for buyers managing older installations: an Electro-Mech display is designed to outlast the control console. The console is portable and stored indoors between uses; the display lives outside year-round. When a console eventually needs replacement, it can be swapped independently - the cabinet stays in place. For an organization in the Savannah record that placed an order a decade ago and is still running that board, that independence matters practically.

The pattern across 25 years and 68 organization-field entries points to model-to-job fit as the consistent factor. Outdoor football needed high digit height and outdoor-rated construction - the LX3645 addressed that need across seven entries. Indoor baseball and basketball needed compact footprint and low amperage draw - the LX2655 and LX2160 filled that role at 10 and nine entries respectively. The match held from 1999 through 2024.

The Savannah record shows what 68 organizations in this market actually ordered over 25 years. Most appear once. Forty-five of the 68 organization-field entries contain only one board - consistent with scoreboards being long-life capital items rather than short-cycle equipment. The record cannot tell you when or whether any of those boards is still in service.

For a buyer evaluating options today, I'd focus on what the data shows directly: the LX2655 for indoor multi-sport use, the LX2160 for indoor baseball and basketball, and the LX3645 for outdoor football with Electronic Team Names. The 25-year pattern is consistent enough that these three models remain the right starting point for Savannah-area programs. The record is silent on cost and on what drove any individual purchase - for those specifics, a conversation with the Electro-Mech team and a quote built for your venue is the right next step.
