Atlanta, GA, January 2025 – Hydrel^® (www.hydrel.com), an established innovator and provider of outdoor architectural, and landscape lighting products, is pleased to announce its Tierra IGF Ingrade family has won a GOOD DESIGN® Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.

GOOD DESIGN was founded in Chicago in 1950 and remains the oldest and most recognized program for design excellence worldwide. The Chicago Athenaeum presents the GOOD DESIGN Awards Program to honor the yearly achievements of the best industrial and graphic designs and world manufacturers for their pursuit of extraordinary design excellence. The emphasis of the GOOD DESIGN program is design and manufacturing that has chartered new directions for innovation and pushed the envelope for competitive products in the world marketplace. Tierra IGF was recognized in the Lighting category.

Tierra offers a higher-density LED array than other ingrades, paired with a precision optic and light-shaping films to achieve a higher intensity for accent lighting. It offers excellent uniformity with no hot spots or shadows for wall washing. As a result, the compact luminaire provides precision uplighting for columns, facades, and trees. Hydrel's patented Flow-Thru technology and hybrid sealing make Tierra IP68-rated for resistance to both water and dust. 

All award-winning products are published in the GOOD DESIGN Yearbook for 2024-2025. Winners will also be celebrated in April at the 2024 GOOD DESIGN Show in Athens, Greece.
