Adura’s Frigus LED modules power two 2026 IESNYC Lumen Award winners

Adura said its Frigus LED module platform was used in two projects that won 2026 IESNYC Lumen Awards: the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw and the Princeton University Art Museum. The recognition spotlights the role of Adura’s modules in high-end architectural lighting systems built by LiteLab Corporation.

Why it matters: - The IESNYC Lumen Awards are among the lighting industry’s top honors for architectural design. - Adura’s inclusion in two award-winning projects gives the Frigus platform a visible proof point in premium architectural lighting. - The recognition may help lighting manufacturers evaluate the platform for demanding applications that require performance, thermal management and color consistency.

What happened: - Adura announced that its Frigus LED module platform was featured in two projects honored with 2026 IESNYC Lumen Awards. - LiteLab Corporation integrated the Frigus platform into the lighting systems for both projects. - The winning projects were the Museum of Moderno Art Warsaw, which received an Award of Merit, and the Princeton University Art Museum, which also received an Award of Merit. - Adura is based in California and manufactures custom LED modules and drivers.

The details: - The Frigus family is designed for architectural lighting applications. - The platform delivers efficacy of up to 220 LPW. - Adura uses metal-core PCB technology for thermal management. - The modules are built with tight LED spacing for seamless illumination. - The platform uses 3-step MacAdam color consistency. - Adura manufactures the Frigus line in its UL-recognized California facility. - The product line comes in multiple linear lengths. - Color temperatures range from 2700K to 6500K. - CRI options go up to 90+. - Each module uses LM-80 qualified LEDs. - The modules include end-to-end mounting and integrated poke-in connectors. - The rated lifetime exceeds 50,000 hours. - LiteLab’s vice president of sales, marketing and product development, Adam Jacob Levin, said Adura products were well represented on the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw and Princeton projects and thanked Adura for being one of LiteLab’s top suppliers. - Adura CEO Sumit Tomar said the awards validate the company’s commitment to engineering LED modules that deliver optical performance, thermal management and manufacturing quality.

Between the lines: - The award mention functions as third-party validation for Adura’s engineering and manufacturing claims. - The combination of high efficacy, long lifetime and color control points to a product positioned for premium fixtures where consistency matters. - The use of a U.S.-based facility may appeal to buyers prioritizing domestic production and quality control.

What’s next: - Adura will likely continue positioning Frigus for architectural lighting manufacturers seeking award-caliber performance and reliability. - The company’s broader LED module and driver portfolio remains aimed at architectural, commercial, industrial and OEM lighting customers. - Adura continues to design and manufacture advanced LED modules, custom light engines, LED drivers and specialty PCB-based lighting solutions from concept through production.
