BRG Event Countdown Timers — Count Down to Any Event with Large LED Displays

By BRG Precision Products  |  July 13, 2026  |  Event & Countdown Timers

 

BRG ETCD100 Event Countdown Timer with custom graphic

Nothing builds anticipation like a countdown. Whether you’re counting down to a grand opening, a product launch, a retirement, the holidays, or any other milestone event, a BRG Event Countdown Timer puts the excitement on the wall in large, brilliant LED digits — for the whole room to see.

BRG Event Countdown Timers display Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds (or Days only) in user-changeable color LEDs, framed by a custom or stock graphic panel that tells the whole story at a glance. Just input your target date and time, and the advanced internal processor handles all the calculations automatically — no hand math, no manual adjustments.

How It Works

Setup couldn’t be simpler. Control buttons on the back of the unit let you scroll to a new start value, or you can use the included Windows-based software via Ethernet or USB to set or update the target date from anywhere in your facility. Once programmed, the timer counts down automatically. If the event date changes, just update the target — no need to calculate days remaining by hand.

An internal battery backup keeps the timer running accurately even during power outages, so your countdown stays on track no matter what.

The Graphic Panel — Tell the Whole Story

Choose from BRG’s stock graphic library • Send your own custom artwork • Work with BRG’s designer • Ships within 1 week of approved graphics

What sets BRG Event Countdown Timers apart is the interchangeable graphic panel above the LED digits. You specify the message, font, font color, background color, and graphics — or choose from BRG’s library of stock designs. BRG offers both adhesive-back and non-adhesive graphic options, making it easy to swap graphics when the event changes or you want a fresh look.

Stock graphic themes available include: New Year’s, Christmas, Halloween, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, 4th of July, Cinco de Mayo, graduation, retirement, milestone birthdays, and generic “Time Remaining” designs. Custom artwork can also be supplied by the customer or designed by BRG.
