Elemental LED, founded in 2008, is a leading engineering and technology company headquartered in Reno, NV that manufactures an extensive high-quality portfolio of lighting, power supplies, and controls. Elemental LED is proud to be America's largest provider of low voltage linear LED lighting, inspiring lighting professionals with their innovative technology, unmatched quality, and best-in-class customer experience.

Tempo was founded in 1986 on the premise that quality lighting systems could be designed and produced to radically simplify the installation and maintenance process. This mission remains today as we design, develop and manufacture led linear lighting solutions that provide quality illumination with the benefits of reduced infrastructure, simplified installation and lower maintenance costs. We connect solutions to applications with highly configurable products at prices that allow our customers to spend their budgets on the stylistic elements that we light.

Change is good. Transformation is arduous. The LED revolution? A battle royale! We are so proud that The Lighting Quotient, elliptipar and tambient, have won the war. Our Lighting solutions are smarter (we are completely agnostic and adept in the languages of controls), our luminaires are more robust and sleeker and more efficient, and our prices, without unscrupulous mark-ups, are competitive. Specifiers, millennial or trans-generational, know now that for the value and exceptional performance that is expected from The Lighting Quotient, elliptipar and tambient, “THERE IS NO EQUAL”! We are a wholly owned and independent Women’s Business Enterprise and part of the GSA schedule and the BUY AMERICAN program. Thank you to the entire committee of the Sapphire Awards and all of our esteemed colleagues and peers for placing us squarely in our third generation, and of course...on your specifications. You are bringing architecture to light, and light brings joy to life.
