The Intelligence Inside the Light.

MODA is not simply a lighting manufacturer. We have developed an advanced software and firmware platform that controls how our fixtures perform.

MODA Software™ is our proprietary software technology, embedded directly into MODA fixtures through microprocessors and control electronics. It enables us to precisely manage dimming, color, temperature, synchronization, and communication—giving MODA complete control over how the light behaves.

Much of this technology is invisible to the user.

But you can see it in the performance.

 

Dimming Without Compromise

MODA Software™ enables smooth, synchronized, step-free, low-noise and low-flicker dimming down to 0%, across a wide range of modern dimming systems.

Our engineers have developed advanced firmware specifically for:

  • ELV dimming

  • 0–10V / 1–10V dimming

  • DMX-RDM

 

Rather than relying solely on the capabilities of the external dimming system, MODA Software™ allows the fixture itself to intelligently manage the LED response.

GLOWDIM® — Software That Thinks Like Incandescent

MODA GLOWDIM® is a prime example of our software expertise.

Our proprietary nonlinear firmware continuously calculates the relationship between light output and color temperature, performing tens of thousands of calculations per second to closely follow the natural incandescent dimming curve.

The result is an exceptionally smooth transition from bright, cooler light to a rich, warm glow as the fixture dims toward zero.

This technology was recognized with a Product Innovation Award (PIA 2017) for Components & Light Sources.

 

More Than 255 Steps

MODA Software™ also powers our advanced DMX-RDM color-changing and Dynamic White fixtures.

Our firmware increases the effective resolution of color and intensity transitions far beyond the standard 255 DMX steps, providing more than 10,000 sub-steps for exceptionally smooth color transitions and dimming.

Integrated temperature monitoring can also provide information about fixture operating conditions, allowing the system to monitor the health of the fixture and support intelligent performance management.

 

The Intelligence Behind MODA CUE™

MODA Software™ is also fundamental to our award-winning MODA BRIDGE technology.

Through MODA CUE™, our firmware can intelligently convert one lighting control signal into a completely different protocol, allowing control systems and fixtures that were never designed to communicate with one another to work together seamlessly.

 

Software You Don't See. Performance You Can.

Our software is deliberately hidden inside the fixture. There is no complicated interface to learn and no unnecessary technology for the installer to manage.

It simply makes the light perform better.

  • Smoother dimming.

  • Better color transitions.

  • More precise control.

  • Lower flicker.

  • Greater synchronization.

  • Intelligent thermal monitoring.

  • Seamless control integration.

 

Our software engineers are continuously developing new algorithms, control techniques, and firmware architectures to push the performance of LED lighting further.

 

MODA Software™ — Advanced intelligence, engineered into every aspect of the light.

Custom Hardware: Building the Tools to Build Better Fixtures

Great software is only part of the puzzle—creating your own hardware is essential to staying at the forefront of the industry.

2015: The Micro Transformer

  • Designing MINI COVE, we were boxed in by market technology—forced into a larger fixture just to fit a universal 100–277V transformer

  • That didn't make sense, so we built our own micro-sized transformer instead

  • Two challenges had to be solved: noise (no buzzing at low dim levels) and radio interference

  • After six months, we had a transformer free of both issues—finally letting MINI COVE actually be mini

 

2016: The Dimming Chip

  • Standard market chips dimmed only to 10%, maybe 5% if you were lucky

  • 0% dimming was non-negotiable, so we built our own chip to get there

  • This chip is now integral to all our line-voltage dimming products, delivering the smooth, flicker-free dimming MODA is known for

 

2026: The Microprocessor

  • We completed production of our first microprocessor—the brains of every new MODA fixture

  • This MCU actively senses voltage and control input (0–10V or DMX512/RS-485), running the onboard algorithms that control the fixture

 

Making Our Own LEDs

  • Born from frustration with limited supply and control by big-brand die manufacturers, whose real focus is TVs, tablets, phones, and computers

  • Lighting is too small a market for them to bother making, say, an 1800K die with a CRI of 97—even though designers need it

  • That gap pushed us into mixing our own phosphors and manufacturing our own dies

  • Today, 80% of MODA fixtures use our own LEDs—giving us full control over performance, CRI, binning, MacAdam ellipse, TM-30, and R1–R15 values

 

MODA makes LEDs that lighting designers actually want.

We Don't Just Select Phosphors. We Engineer the Spectrum.

Creating exceptional LEDs for architectural lighting takes more than picking a semiconductor wafer—it requires the right wafers, premium materials, precision components, advanced packaging, and deep phosphor expertise. MODA has built that expertise in-house.

Phosphor technology is an exact science. Type, particle characteristics, purity, concentration, layering, and phosphor-to-adhesive ratio all shape an LED's spectral output—small changes can significantly affect color, rendering, efficacy, and long-term performance.

Engineered From the Inside Out

  • We use premium Mitsubishi phosphors with carefully selected high-performance adhesives and proprietary mixing/application techniques

  • Our process uses large-particle phosphors, a controlled high phosphor-to-adhesive ratio, and multiple precisely applied layers

  • This lets us engineer spectral characteristics deliberately, rather than accepting off-the-shelf phosphor performance

  • Result: a full family of MODA LEDs built for high-end architectural lighting—white light, saturated static colors, and advanced color-changing sources

 

Exceptional Color, Exceptional Consistency

MODA LED sources can achieve:

  • CRI >95

  • R1–R15 values in the high 90s

  • CQS >95

  • Excellent TM-30 performance

 

This means colors render with remarkable accuracy, richness, and clarity—light that looks natural, balanced, and true to the intended environment.

 

Technology You Can't Buy Off the Shelf

 

  • Controlling both phosphor formulation and LED packaging lets MODA develop spectral characteristics unavailable from standard manufacturers

  • That control is fundamental to the color quality, consistency, and performance built into every MODA fixture

  • Our LED technology doesn't begin with the fixture—it begins with the phosphor

 

This proprietary technology earned a Product Innovation Award (PIA 2018) in the Components category.

We Don't Buy LEDs. We Engineer Them.

For decades, the lighting industry has relied on LEDs built by giant semiconductor companies whose real focus is consumer electronics—phones, tablets, displays, TVs. Lighting is a small part of their business. MODA asked a simple question: why should architectural illumination settle for LEDs designed for something else entirely? That question led us to develop our own.

The MODA Difference

  • MODA LED™ was built on one idea: to build the best fixtures, you have to control the light at its source

  • We develop and package our own LEDs specifically for architectural and specification lighting

  • This gives us control over color, consistency, spectral performance, rendering, efficacy, and long-term stability

  • We start with industry-leading wafers, then manufacture our own components using premium phosphors (including Mitsubishi materials), high-performance adhesives, and proprietary formulations

  • Result: true single-bin LEDs with 2-Step MacAdam consistency, high CRI, strong R1–R15 performance, and excellent TM-30 results

 

Controlling the Spectrum

  • White LEDs are blue LEDs plus phosphor—the phosphor formulation determines what the eye actually sees

  • Our phosphor expertise lets us go beyond off-the-shelf LED performance

  • 1800K and 2200K: exceptionally clean, warm light with remarkable clarity and vibrancy

  • 2700K–4000K: engineered for consistent, high-quality color across the spec range

  • 6500K: reduces the harsh blue cast typical of high-CCT LEDs, producing a cleaner white that works as an intentional design element

 

More Light, Less Stress

  • Performance isn't just lumen count—it's how efficiently those lumens are produced

  • MODA LEDs deliver high output without excessive drive current, reducing thermal stress

  • Target: phosphor degradation as low as 3% over 10 years of continuous use

 

Color Beyond RGB

  • Proprietary phosphor tech extends past standard red, green, blue, amber, yellow, and UV

  • Highly saturated static colors available: Yellow, Pink, Cyan, Violet, Turquoise, Ice Blue, Light Green, Golden Yellow

  • Enables vibrant, DMX-free installs—simple and cost-effective when dynamic control isn't needed

 

The Dark Series

 

Dark, saturated colors are notoriously hard to achieve—adding light typically washes them out

MODA has developed Dark Orange and Dark Blue, pushing past conventional LED limits

 

Bottom line: MODA engineers the light source first, then builds the fixture around it—giving our products a level of color quality and consistency that starts at the component level, not the catalog.

Slide 1 copy 16.png

No Bins. No Compromise.

Most LED manufacturers produce huge volumes and sort them into multiple performance and color "bins" to manage natural variation. MODA took a different path.

Why we're different

  • We manufacture and package our own LEDs, controlling the entire process—wafer, cup, gold wire, phosphors, adhesives, and packaging

  • We run smaller, controlled production batches, letting us precisely manage LED characteristics and maintain consistency run after run

 

One LED. Repeated Consistency.

Instead of sorting into multiple bins and leaving manufacturers to manage the variation between them, MODA engineers its LEDs for consistent color and performance from the start.

  • No bin matching

  • No sorting between multiple bins

  • No compromising between batches

  • Just consistent MODA LED performance, specified the same way every time

 

Zero Bin

We call this MODA Zero Bin™—our commitment to the consistency high-end architectural lighting demands, today, tomorrow, and years from now.

Slide 1 (21).png
Slide 1 copy 11 (5).png

High CRI Shouldn't Be an Upgrade. It Should Be Standard.

At MODA, exceptional color rendering should be the foundation of high-performance architectural lighting—not a costly add-on.

  • By packaging our own LED dies and developing our own phosphor formulations, MODA engineers LEDs specifically for our fixtures and the demands of specification lighting

  • This control lets us achieve color rendering in the high 90s while maintaining excellent efficacy—the combination of color quality and performance today's lighting professionals expect

 

Designed for Specification Lighting

  • MODA LEDs reveal colors naturally, accurately, and beautifully—built for architects, lighting designers, and specifiers

  • Controlling the LED at the source lets us optimize spectral characteristics for the fixture, rather than accepting the limits of an off-the-shelf LED

  • Result: exceptional color rendering, consistency, and visual quality, built in from the start

 

No Premium. No Compromise.

High CRI is standard across the entire MODA range. Designers shouldn't have to pay more to get the best light quality our technology can deliver.

MODA High CRI™ — Exceptional color rendering. Exceptional efficacy. Standard on MODA.

Slide 1 (20).png
Slide 1 copy 3 (15).png

CRI Is Only Part of the Story.

CRI is one of the most common ways to evaluate color quality—but it only measures 8 of 15 traditional color samples (R1–R8). Even R9, often requested as a bonus metric, only tells part of the story. A truly high-performance light source needs to render the entire color range accurately. That's why MODA looks beyond CRI.

We Engineer the Spectrum

  • Because MODA manufactures its own LEDs and phosphor formulations, we precisely control spectral characteristics

  • Our LEDs deliver exceptional R1–R15 performance, covering far more color range than standard CRI alone

 

The TM-30 Approach

  • MODA evaluates complete spectral performance using TM-30, which analyzes color rendition across 99 color samples

  • This gives a comprehensive picture of how our light interacts with real-world color—skin tones, natural materials, vibrant reds, greens, blues, and everything between

  • Engineering the LED spectrum specifically for architectural lighting lets us optimize across the full TM-30 set, not just a handful of CRI values

 

Result: light that doesn't just hit a high CRI number—it makes colors look the way they're supposed to look.

Beyond the Number

CRI, R9, R1–R15, and TM-30 are valuable tools, but the ultimate test is what you actually see. MODA Color Rendition™ is our commitment to engineering LEDs that reproduce color with exceptional accuracy, richness, balance, and consistency.

MODA Color Rendition™ — Because seeing the whole spectrum matters.

Precision Color Mixing. Seamless by Design.

Traditional 3-in-1 (RGB) and 4-in-1 (RGBW/RGBA) LED fixtures often struggle with consistent color mixing—resulting in visible color separation, shadowing, and color shifts, especially at the start and end of linear runs.

MODA Color™ solves this by pairing specially engineered MODA LEDs with proprietary MODA optical lenses, purpose-built for architectural and specification lighting. By blending color at the source and precisely controlling optical distribution, it delivers smooth, uniform illumination across the entire fixture run.

How it works:

  • Each MODA lens blends individual LED channels into a unified beam

  • Minimizes red, green, blue, or white shadowing common in conventional RGB/RGBW systems

  • Maintains color consistency from the first inch of the fixture to the last

 

The result:

  • Rich, beautifully blended color with virtually no visible separation or edge distortion

  • Consistent visual experience, even at close viewing distances

  • Exceptional color uniformity and visual comfort

  • The designer's intended color, seen exactly as intended

Slide 1 copy 1 (8).png
Slide 1 copy 10 (2).png

We Don't Choose From Available Optics. We Engineer Our Own.

Most lighting manufacturers are limited to what third-party optic makers offer. MODA chose a different path—every optic we use is individually designed and engineered in-house to precisely control light distribution and beam characteristics.

How it's built

  • Proprietary designs use carefully selected, high-performance optical thermoplastics and precision-engineered geometries

  • Controlling the optic ourselves lets us optimize the relationship between LED, optical surface, and beam distribution

  • Result: maximum delivered light with exceptional consistency

 

Precision Beam Control

MODA optics create interlocking fields of light for smooth, continuous illumination across the fixture—eliminating common linear LED artifacts:

  • No visible striations

  • No color shift across the beam

  • No uneven transitions

  • No distracting hot spots

Just clean, uniform illumination from one end of the fixture to the other.

One Platform. 50+ Beam Options.

With more than 50 precisely engineered beam distributions, MODA covers virtually any architectural application:

  • Narrow Grazing

  • Grazing

  • Wide Grazing

  • Wall Washing

  • Asymmetric Wash

  • Forward Throw

  • Wide Beam

 

Whether the goal is revealing texture, washing a façade evenly, throwing light across a surface, or creating broad illumination—there's a MODA optic engineered for it.

The MODA Advantage

Because we design and manufacture our own optics, we're not limited by what's commercially available.

  • We control the beam.

  • We control the distribution.

  • We control the result.

Precision Linear Optics. Engineered Around the LED.

MODA Linear Optic™ is a proprietary linear optical system engineered specifically for MODA LED platforms—including both mid-power and high-power 3535 LEDs.

How it works

  • Integrates multiple LEDs with a precisely engineered linear TIR optical system

  • Achieves exceptional control over the shape, distribution, and uniformity of light across the entire fixture

  • Rather than adapting an off-the-shelf optic to the LED, MODA designs the optical system around the LED and the application itself

 

Purpose-built beam patterns

MODA Linear Optic™ delivers a range of application-specific distributions:

  • Precision grazing

  • Smooth wall washing

  • Controlled forward throw

  • Wide distributions

 

The result

Big Performance. Remarkably Small.​​

Traditional LED drivers can be surprisingly large—a real challenge for ultra-compact architectural fixtures. When MODA developed MINI COVE, no conventional driver was small enough to meet our requirements without sacrificing performance. So we engineered our own.

MODA Micro Driver™

  • A new generation of ultra-compact drivers built specifically to power MODA's smallest fixtures

  • Maintains the performance, efficiency, and reliability expected from MODA

  • Our 6" MINI COVE houses its own dedicated Micro Driver™—just 2 inches long

  • Despite the tiny footprint, it delivers the electrical performance needed while supporting MODA's universal input architecture

 

Small Enough to Disappear. Powerful Enough to Perform.

  • Enabled an exceptionally compact cove fixture with no large remote driver required

  • 6" MINI COVE is engineered for universal input, ready for worldwide applications

  • Eliminates the need for separate driver platforms across different regions

Slide 1 copy 12.png
Slide 1 copy 1 (10).png

We Don't Buy Drivers. We Engineer Them.

A great LED fixture is only as good as the electronics controlling it. MODA doesn't rely on generic, off-the-shelf drivers—every product with an onboard or remote driver uses electronics engineered specifically for that fixture and its application.

  • Our engineers design the driver, LED, optics, thermal system, and control architecture together, as one system

  • This lets us precisely control the LED, optimize performance, manage operating temperature, and maximize long-term reliability

 

Designed Around the Fixture

  • Each driver is engineered for the exact electrical and performance requirements of the fixture it powers—not the limitations of a generic driver

  • Built for high efficiency, exceptional thermal performance, precise LED control, and long operating life

  • Where appropriate, drivers are encapsulated in a soft silicone-based potting compound for protection, efficient heat transfer, and stable operating temperatures

 

More Than 200 Custom Drivers

  • MODA has developed 200+ unique driver designs across our lighting systems

  • This library lets us optimize each product for its specific LED configuration, power level, dimming requirements, control system, and application

  • A significant share of our driver components are sourced from the United States, supporting our commitment to engineering and manufacturing in the USA

 

One Company. One System. Complete Control.

By designing our own drivers, MODA controls one of the most critical components in the system:

  • We control the current.

  • We control the temperature.

  • We control the performance.

  • We control the life of the LED.

 

From LED to driver, optic, thermal system, and controls—MODA engineers the complete system to work together.

Push. Rotate. Release. Locked.

MODA Lock™ is a patented, self-locking mounting system developed specifically for MODA miniature fixtures. It combines precise aiming, secure positioning, and tool-less installation into a simple, intelligent mechanical design.

In its natural position, the mounting bracket is automatically locked, securely holding the fixture and maintaining the selected beam direction.

Need to adjust the aim?

Simply push down on the bracket, rotate the fixture to the desired position, and release.

Once pressure is removed, the bracket automatically returns to its locked position—securely holding the fixture exactly where it was aimed.

No Tools. No Complexity.

MODA Lock™ eliminates the need for adjustment screws, Allen keys, or other tools during installation or aiming.

Push. Rotate. Release. Locked.

It's simple enough to use instantly, yet engineered to provide the precision and security expected from a professional architectural lighting system.

Precision Aiming. Built Inside.

 

Traditional adjustable fixtures rely on external brackets, hinges, and mechanical locks—visually distracting and bulky. MODA FluidLock™ takes a different approach: our patented integral field-adjustable fluid locking system is built directly into the fixture, eliminating large external brackets while delivering exceptionally precise beam control.

Smooth Adjustment, Precise Positioning

  • The fluid locking mechanism allows smooth field adjustment with precise control over final aim

  • No fixed increments or mechanical detents—the fixture positions exactly where the light is needed

  • Adjust. Aim. Lock. Once positioned, the integrated mechanism holds it securely in place

 

Nothing Added. Everything Integrated.

Because the locking mechanism lives inside the fixture, FluidLock™ preserves a clean architectural appearance—no exposed bracket, no bulky aiming hardware.

What it delivers:

  • Integrated adjustment

  • Fluid, precise aiming

  • Secure field locking

  • No large external bracket

  • Clean architectural appearance

 

The result: a fixture that looks clean from every angle, with the precision normally reserved for much larger, more complicated aiming systems.

Engineered to Keep Water Out. Built for the Elements.

Weatherproofing is not an afterthought at MODA. It is engineered into every fixture.

MODA Seal™ is a proprietary sealing technology built to protect fixtures from the demanding conditions of exterior architectural lighting. Our specially formulated silicone-based gaskets withstand significant compression while maintaining their shape and sealing performance over time.

  • Each gasket is precision-installed using a 10-ton compression process, creating a highly controlled seal between fixture components

 

Designed for Thermal Cycling

  • Outdoor fixtures constantly cycle through temperature changes—as they heat and cool, internal pressure shifts and can draw moisture back inside

  • MODA's silicone technology addresses this directly: its material properties allow controlled air passage while resisting water passage, helping prevent moisture intrusion during thermal cycling

  • The formulation also resists UV exposure and elevated temperatures, preserving seal integrity over years of outdoor use

 

Every Fixture Is Tested

We don't just assume our fixtures are weatherproof—we verify it.

  • Using proprietary MODA testing equipment, every fixture is individually tested with controlled air pressure to confirm enclosure and seal integrity

  • This extra layer of quality control catches potential sealing issues before a fixture ever leaves our facility, backing the long-term water resistance, reliability, and service life MODA products are built for

MODA Seal™ — Engineered sealing technology for lighting that performs in the real world.

Less Heat. Smaller Fixtures. Longer Life.

Thermal management is one of the most important factors in an LED fixture's long-term performance and reliability. MODA's answer isn't a bigger fixture and a massive heat sink—we engineer the whole system to generate less heat in the first place.

Engineered to Run Cool

  • Intelligent electrical, mechanical, and thermal design carefully manages the relationship between LED, driver, circuit board, and housing

  • Where appropriate, heat-generating components are separated from the LED board, letting heat dissipate through the fixture structure rather than concentrating around the LEDs

  • LEDs are driven well below maximum rated capacity—in many applications

  • This dramatically reduces thermal stress, letting the fixture run efficiently without oversized heat sinks

 

Cooler LEDs. Longer Life.

Lower drive levels reduce operating temperature and thermal stress, protecting the LED and phosphor system over time. Benefits include:

  • Lower operating temperatures

  • Reduced thermal stress

  • Longer LED life

  • Improved lumen maintenance

  • Reduced phosphor degradation

  • Smaller, more efficient fixtures

 

Performance Without the Bulk

Because MODA controls the LED, driver, electronics, optics, mechanical design, and thermal architecture, these systems are engineered to work together—not compensate for one another's problems.

  • Don't build a bigger fixture to manage the heat.

  • Design the fixture so there's less heat to manage.

 

This approach lets MODA build sleek, compact, highly engineered fixtures that deliver exceptional performance without the bulk typically associated with high-output LED lighting.

MODA Thermal Management™ — Engineered to run cooler. Designed to last longer. Built without the bulk.

Dimming Engineered to the Last Percent.

Dimming should be smooth from 100% down to the lowest possible light level. In reality, the low end is where most LED systems struggle—flicker, noise, stepping, inconsistent output, or fixtures that won't dim together. MODA Dim™ was built to solve that.

  • Proprietary dimming firmware, combined with intelligent onboard microprocessors and dedicated dimming electronics, gives MODA precise control across the entire dimming curve

  • Result: smooth, synchronized, low-noise, flicker-free dimming from 100% to 1%, with exceptional control at the low end

 

Precision at the Low End

  • The final portion of a dimming curve is usually the hardest to control

  • MODA's advanced firmware continuously manages LED response, keeping light output smooth and consistent as intensity approaches its lowest levels

  • This precision also keeps multiple fixtures tightly synchronized—creating a uniform field of light with no visible differences between fixtures

 

Intelligent Circuit Control

MODA Dim™ has evolved beyond firmware alone:

  • Incorporates intelligent latching and multiple-circuit control architectures

  • Enables economical dimming solutions without sacrificing precise fixture control

  • Gives MODA greater control over the full electrical and electronic system—from dimming signal to LED

 

Mastering Multiple Dimming Technologies

MODA Dim™ powers our award-winning systems across:

  • ELV

  • 0–10V

  • DMX512 / DMX-RDM

 

By developing our own electronics and firmware, MODA optimizes fixture response for each control technology rather than relying on generic driver electronics.

  • Rather than just shifting CCT, MODA Dynamic White™ carefully manages spectral balance as color temperature changes—keeping color rendering consistent and natural from warm to cool

 

Simple Digital Control

  • Standard DMX512 control allows precise selection and smooth adjustment of color temperature to create the desired atmosphere or effect

  • Light output can be independently dimmed from 100% to 0%, giving separate control over color temperature and intensity

 

From hospitality and retail to commercial, residential, architectural, and entertainment environments, MODA Dynamic White™ offers one versatile platform for virtually any application requiring high-quality adjustable white light.

Digital Control. Intelligent Performance.

DMX is one of the most widely adopted digital control protocols in architectural and entertainment lighting. But adding a DMX receiver doesn't make a fixture intelligent. MODA DMX-RDM™ is a complete digital control technology built around our own firmware, microprocessors, and control electronics—giving us precise control over how the fixture responds to digital commands.

Beyond 8-Bit Control

  • Standard DMX offers 256 steps per channel

  • MODA's firmware interpolates the signal into 10,000+ sub-steps internally

  • Result: exceptionally smooth intensity, color, and color-temperature transitions—especially at the low end of the dimming curve, where conventional systems often show visible stepping

 

Precision Color Control

  • Built into our RGB/RGBW color-changing, Dynamic White, and GLOWDIM® systems

  • Firmware intelligently manages individual LED channels for smooth, synchronized transitions between colors and color temperatures

  • Whether it's a subtle white-light shift or a complex color sequence, output stays smooth and consistent

 

RDM — Two-Way Communication

DMX controls a fixture. RDM lets the fixture talk back.

  • Enables two-way communication between the control system and compatible MODA fixtures

  • Supports remote configuration and monitoring

  • Integrated temperature sensing gives real-time insight into operating conditions, helping technicians catch potential issues early

What Makes It Intelligent

MODA DMX-RDM™ combines:

  • Proprietary firmware

  • Intelligent microprocessors

  • Advanced dimming electronics

  • High-resolution internal control

  • RDM two-way communication

  • Integrated thermal monitoring

 

Together, these let the fixture actively manage how it produces light, rather than just responding to external commands.

Designed for Professional Control

MODA DMX-RDM™ integrates seamlessly with professional DMX systems while delivering the advanced control and monitoring expected from modern architectural lighting—from single-fixture setups to large-scale synchronized installations, without compromising light quality.

MODA CUE™ is MODA's proprietary signal-conversion technology that lets different lighting control protocols communicate—even when they weren't designed to work together. By intelligently converting one control signal into another, it eliminates the need for complex control architectures, added infrastructure, or replacing existing dimming equipment.

MODA BRIDGE

MODA BRIDGE applies MODA CUE™ to convert a standard 0–10V control signal into an ELV (Electronic Low Voltage) dimming signal.

  • 0–10V In → ELV Out

  • Enables ELV MODA fixtures to run directly off a standard 0–10V dimmer

  • Simple, economical—no dedicated ELV control system required

  • Works with the control system already specified for the project

  • Winner of a Product Innovation Award (PIA 2017), Components & Controls category

 

The Technology Behind the Bridge

  • MODA CUE™ is the intelligent signal conversion at the core of MODA BRIDGE

  • Rather than forcing a system to conform to one protocol, it bridges the gap between them

  • Connects control platforms that were never designed to work together
