Aqualite Outdoor TVs

What Aqualite Outdoor TVs does

Aqualite Outdoor Displays Ltd, trading as Aqualite Outdoor, is a privately-held UK manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built outdoor LCD and LED television screens, digital signage displays, touch monitors, and LED billboards. The company designs weatherproof displays rated IP66 against water and dust ingress and IK10 against mechanical impact, integrating proprietary AQAR anti-reflective coating, 6mm tempered glass, aluminum salt-resistant casings, internal thermostats with fans for temperature regulation, and high-brightness panels up to 1500 cd/m². The product range spans 26" to 136" screen sizes and includes refurbished and ex-rental inventory, addressing the failure modes of standard indoor TVs deployed in outdoor, marine, wet-room, and high-traffic environments.

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales via a multi-channel go-to-market model. Distribution is led by an exclusive UK trade partnership with Midwich (including its PSCo rental subsidiary) and a 2025 North American distribution agreement with JBandA Distributors covering the US, Canada, and Caribbean. Aqualite also operates direct-to-consumer and direct-to-enterprise sales through its website with quote-based pricing, supplements the trade channel with a global network of recruited dealers, wholesalers, and importers across more than 14 regions, and pursues digital marketing through SEO-optimized product content and a YouTube demonstration channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Aqualite serves a broad mix of commercial and residential customers including hospitality venues (pubs, hotels, resorts), marine and luxury yacht installations, transport hubs (Heathrow Airport, London Overground), broadcasters (BBC), retailers, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, industrial sites (Balfour Beatty, Liffey Meats), and homeowners. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees and the company is headquartered in Hendon, London, with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or executive team information.
