Enhancing Ambiance with DMF Retrofit Lighting—the Top Choice for Luxury Homes

Retrofit lighting involves upgrading your existing lighting system to improve its performance or enhance efficiency. For many, that translates to switching to more efficient LED lighting, which uses less energy, produces less heat, and offers improved quality. 

At Wicked Smart Homes, we partner with DMF, the industry leader in LED downlighting. Their modular approach offers exceptional versatility, with most fitting into nearly any ceiling type. Their systems also integrate with most home automation platforms, allowing for effortless control. 

Here, we’ll explore some of their top features and why more homeowners in Sarasota, FL, are turning to DMF retrofit lighting.

Why Homeowners Are Retrofitting Downlights

Upgrading to LED lighting offers a highly accurate color rendering. In the case of DMF, it maintains a 93+ CRI throughout its entire range, from vibrant, full-spectrum lighting to a warm dim that creates a soft, amber glow.

A 93 Color Rendering Index tells you the lights are similar to natural outdoor light, showing the true colors of the items it illuminates. LEDs also use less energy and last longer than incandescent and compact fluorescent lights. 

The other benefit comes from retrofitting. Using DMF’s modular approach, you can improve your lighting system without purchasing new fixtures or remodeling.

Selecting the Size

Most recessed downlights come in 4 to 6-inch sizes. Typically, retrofitting your lights requires selecting a new trim that matches your current housing. DMF, however, offers a Retrofit Conversion Kit. This kit reduces 6-inch downlights down to 4 inches. Converting from 6-inch recessed housings to a 4-inch fixture is a popular option as the quiet ceiling trend grows. 

One of the exclusive lines by DMF, Artafex 4”, offers extreme customization with interchangeable trims that come in round and square models. Flangeless trims blend in with the ceiling, while square trims provide a more modern aesthetic. Hyperbolic trims let more light leave the luminaire, while pinhole trims offer the smallest ceiling profile, directing the light exactly where you need it. These trims come in bronze, clear, warm, white, black, and custom colors.

Artafex 2” small aperture lighting system is one of the smallest in the industry, retaining your home’s aesthetics while providing vibrant lighting. Thanks to the patent-pending Precision Lock Collar, your lights lie at uniform depth, providing consistent illumination. 

The Artafex line also consists of some lights designed exclusively for outdoor lighting.

Layers of Full-Spectrum Lighting

Another feature that homeowners and integrators appreciate is the beam spread. With a spread that ranges from 15 degrees up to 90 degrees plus, these lights offer the ideal lighting for task, highlighting, and ambient illumination. 

DMF is also known for its high-quality LED lighting that transitions from brilliant, full-spectrum lighting to a warm dim. This warm, soft-golden lighting is ideal for relaxing in the evenings, creating an intimate atmosphere.

At Wicked Smart Homes, we partner with the premier lighting fixture manufacturers to ensure our clients the best solutions. Some experts in the industry say DMF manufactures the best LED modules on the planet. Our experts at Wicked Smart Homes would have to agree.
