Tempo designs and manufactures LED linear, configurable lighting systems for architectural applications, theatre venues and industrial facilities. Its broad portfolio of specification-grade lighting products provides architects, lighting designers, engineers and owners the ability to configure lighting solutions to meet the most challenging project and budget requirements.

Established in 1986, Tempo was founded on the premise that THEATRE safety illumination could be designed and produced to radically simplify the installation and maintenance process. Today, Tempo manufactures over 85% of cinema safety lighting in North America and provides total lighting solutions for theatre venues.

Tempo was an early pioneer in LED technology, shipping the first LED safety lighting product in 1997. Recognizing the game-changing benefits of LEDs, Tempo leveraged their experience and developed ARCHITECTURAL LED lighting systems for accent, cove and wall wash applications. Tempo’s extensive range of products has received multiple lighting design awards and patents in recognition for their innovative advances.

Tempo continues to take a holistic approach to every new design, developing application solutions that go beyond providing required light levels and a lighting effect. All benefits ultimately result in Less Humans per Lumen.

Additionally, every Tempo system is developed based on a proprietary CLiP, Configurable Lighting Platform. CLiP is a design philosophy and discipline where modular and interchangeable components are developed across product platforms to create extensive features and options.

Tempo’s proprietary CLiP technology empowers you to design linear LED lighting solutions with all the features and visual effects imaginable. Our modular and interchangeable components provide the freedom and flexibility to create beautiful lighting that is energy efficient, meets budget requirements and maintains design integrity. With CLiP, the only thing that stands between you and the ideal lighting solution is your imagination.

All Tempo products and systems are manufactured at Tempo’s Irvine, California headquarters. In an era where projects are delayed waiting for overseas shipments, Tempo has maintained full control of their supply chain and provides the industry’s shortest and most reliable lead times. Tempo’s lighting fixtures also meet the criteria to qualify for projects under the “Buy American Act” or BAA.
