LABRA: architectural LED luminaires from Poland
LABRA is a Polish maker of architectural and technical LED lighting, based in Przeginia Duchowna near Kraków. The company works under the banner "LABRA Light Thinking", built on three pillars – light, form and people – and it keeps its production local, and works with nearby craftspeople; its FX26 system is designed and made in Poland using Polish-made metal. Its techniques include metal spinning, used for example to form the body of the Juno KN luminaire, and anodised and lacquered finishes. LABRA designs for homes as well as demanding commercial interiors, and works closely with architects and lighting professionals.
Geometry and colour
LABRA luminaires are minimal geometric forms – round, oval, square, rectangular and linear – but colour plays a large part. Alongside black and white the maker offers finishes such as terracotta, ocean grey, warm dust, light blue, lime, curcumin, dark orange and deep red, and glass in opal, microprism, petrol blue and smoky brown. Its acoustic luminaires combine light with sound absorption using PETfelt, a repairable material. The FX26 magnetic track runs at a safe 48 V, and its fittings can be moved without tools. Families include Juno, Triimo, Nota, Linto, Bold and the acoustic Haloo range.

What matters when choosing a LABRA luminaire
-
Integrated or replaceable source. LABRA gives 5 years of warranty on luminaires with integrated LED and 2 years on fittings that take replaceable lamps.
-
Colour temperature and CRI. Options run from very warm 1800 K and an adjustable 1800–3000 K option to 4000 K, with CRI 80, 90 or 98. Choose a higher CRI where materials and colours must look true.
-
Glare. UGR values tell you how much a fitting dazzles; low UGR matters at desks and in meeting rooms.
-
Control. Depending on the model, dimming is via DALI, push-dim, phase-cut or Casambi. Agree the control system with your electrician before installation.
-
Protection. The range covers IP20 for interiors as well as IP54 and IP65 fittings for damp and wet locations.
