Richard Martino Jr. is the Founder and Owner of Clearly LED, a lighting solutions company focused on

supplying high-performance LED systems for mission-critical environments. With more than 12 years of

experience in the LED lighting industry, Richard brings deep knowledge of manufacturing, product

development, and large-scale commercial and industrial lighting applications.

Richard began his career working directly within LED manufacturing, gaining hands-on experience in

luminaire design, component sourcing, quality control, and performance testing. This

manufacturing-first background allows him to understand lighting products beyond specifications, with a

practical focus on reliability, longevity, and real-world performance.

Throughout his career, Richard has worked closely with LED factories and manufacturing partners

around the globe that specialize in LED development and production. These collaborations have

enabled him to help develop and refine lighting solutions tailored to the specific requirements of

different industries, ensuring that products are engineered for their intended applications rather than

adapted from generic designs.

Over the past five years, Richard has specialized in lighting solutions for data centers and AI facilities,

recognizing the rapid growth and unique technical demands of this sector. He has worked closely with

architects, engineers, contractors, and owners to support new construction projects where uptime,

energy efficiency, scalability, and code compliance are critical. This specialization has shaped Clearly

LED’s product selection, specifications, and internal processes.

Under Richard’s leadership, Clearly LED was intentionally designed to align with the evolving needs of

hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centers. The company focuses on architect- and

engineer-ready solutions, utility rebate alignment, and long-term operational performance, rather than

commodity lighting sales.

Richard’s approach emphasizes collaboration, technical accuracy, and accountability. His experience

across global manufacturing relationships and project execution enables Clearly LED to serve as a

knowledgeable partner throughout the design and construction process, helping project teams deliver

efficient, reliable lighting systems that support the world’s most critical digital infrastructure.
