About

At TLS, we are driven by innovation and excellence. Born from Media-Graph's commitment to pushing the boundaries of lighting technology, TLS was established in 2012 as a breakthrough solution for versatile and uniform surface lighting.

Innovative Lighting Solutions

The creation of TLS was inspired by the challenges associated with traditional high-intensity LED technology used in non-standard frame formats. Problems like complex assembly, uneven brightness, and transportation difficulties highlighted the need for a better approach. In response, our team at Media-Graph embarked on extensive research and development to create the Tension LED System (TLS).

A Revolutionary Lighting Solution

The Tension LED System (TLS) is a cutting-edge, versatile lighting solution designed to address the limitations of conventional LED technologies. With our proprietary point-to-point, substrate-free mounting design, TLS seamlessly integrates into any architectural environment, ensuring uniform backlighting across various diffuser options, regardless of plenum depth.

Built for Performance and Simplicity

Our in-house design and production capabilities enable us to create tailored solutions that fit any project requirements. TLS technology significantly enhances lighting effects, especially when paired with SEG fabric, by eliminating hotspots and dark spots. Additionally, TLS ensures hassle-free maintenance and easy assembly, making it the preferred choice for professionals seeking reliable and uniform lighting.

Our primary goal was to eliminate all hotspots. The TLS system, installed by Regency Electric, met that goal perfectly. In fact, Regency Electric reported that the installation process was incredibly easy. All in all, the final result looks exactly as we had envisioned!
