What Times Square Lighting does

Times Square Lighting, Inc. is a private U.S. manufacturer of theatrical and architectural lighting fixtures founded in 1934 in New York City and now headquartered in Stony Point, New York. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of specification-grade lighting products including track, accent, wall wash, recessed, pendant, gobo projector, and theatrical fixtures, with LED technology as the core platform. Technical capabilities include tunable white, RGB, RGBW, and dim-to-warm LED configurations with high CRI (90-98) options, supported by DMX wired and Casambi wireless control protocols.

The business operates a B2B specification-driven sales model, reaching architects, lighting designers, contractors, and facility managers through a manufacturer's representative network. Revenue is generated through project-based specification sales rather than recurring contracts or volume retail. Primary vertical segments include Museum and Exhibit, Retail, Restaurant, Theater and Entertainment, and Theme Park/Attractions, with secondary exposure to Casino, Car Dealership, House of Worship, Supermarket, and Studio. Notable specified projects include Louis Vuitton, Joey Restaurants, Snow Peak, Meow Wolf, Color Factory NYC, Seattle Aquarium, and Mecca Australia, indicating an internationally distributed project base. The product line carries UL, IP20, Made in America, and BABA (Build America, Buy America) certifications, the latter positioning the company for federally funded infrastructure and public projects.

The company employs 11-50 people and has no recorded external funding, M&A activity, or leadership changes in available data. Recent commercial activity has centered on product portfolio expansion, including the DW12R, CCR Series high-power, CCRD Series dual-head, AST200 Astor, and Tudor gobo projector launches, alongside a 2025 brand identity refresh and asset update.
