It’s always nice to be involved with a company that started from the ground up before rising to fame. Such is the story behind the beginning of DMF Lighting, a company specializing in premium LED downlighting systems.
With so many recessed lighting fixtures on the market, you may wonder how this one, which started in a living room, now operates globally. As with many things in life, it had to do with passion. Mark and Faye Danesh, a husband-and-wife team, knew they could create a better downlight and were determined to do so.
That drive for improvement continues today, with an R&D lab and an engineering team that pushes the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. Today, the company has offices in four countries and is a leading LED lighting fixture brand in the customized electronics industry.
Here, we’ll explore their unique features and why Wipliance is proud to partner with DMF Lighting.

A Modular Approach
DMF’s modular approach makes its lighting system scalable and customizable, enabling it to adapt as a person’s design preferences change. Their fixture lines contain three interchangeable parts: trims, modules, and housing.
This lighting design allows for easy accessibility, high levels of customization, and sustainable solutions, letting you reuse components when upgrading or changing the desired aesthetics. With interchangeable trims and options in fixed, adjustable, and wall-wash lights, you’re assured the ideal illumination for every room and space.
Warm Dim for a Healthier Home
DMF’s Warm Dim technology transitions from vibrant, full-spectrum lighting to soft, warm, and comfortable illumination while maintaining a 93 CRI throughout the entire range. A 93 Color Rendering Index indicates excellent color accuracy, faithfully reproducing an object’s color just as it would appear in natural daylight.
By evening, the lighting resembles a warm amber glow, creating the desired relaxing ambiance.
This approach to lighting mimics the natural progression of daylight, from the brilliant, energetic white illumination of midday to the warmth and relaxation of a setting sun. Promoting the natural light cycle indoors realigns your body’s biological time clock, which evolved under the sun and moon. Your sleep-wake cycle responds with a more restful night’s sleep and greater energy during the day.
Featured Products
While it would require extensive documentation to list all DMF’s achievements in terms of flexibility and design, a few fixtures stand out as the ultimate achievement in lighting. The following represent a few of the top contenders.
Downlighting Conversion Retrofit Kits
As smaller aperture downlights grew in popularity, DMF got busy determining how to support those with existing large apertures. The result was DMF’s unique retrofit kits, which hit the market in 2024. These kits upgrade 6-inch round downlights to 4-inch aperture round fixtures.
These lights contain DMF’s enhanced dimming capability and can be swapped out below the ceiling. The adjustable module allows for a 365-degree rotation and a 45-degree tilt for ideal illumination.
M Series Cylinder
Beautiful and sleek in design, the M Series Cylinders feature pendant, surface, and wall mount options, providing narrow spotlights, flood lights, or general ambient lighting. This line features round, snoot, hyperbolic, and decorative trims that bring a touch of elegance in black, white, brushed aluminum, bronze, and custom options.
Beautiful design versatility and customization define these high-performing LED modules.
The Quiet Ceiling
In 2024, Architizer A+ Product Awards recognized DMF’s X Series as one of the most innovative brands for aesthetics, performance, and impact. These 2-inch aperture downlights align with today’s quiet ceiling revolution, a continuing call to less is more and decluttering. These small, discreet downlights create a clean, barely noticeable look while retaining the home’s brilliant illumination.
Lighting by Design
With the latest technology, light is more than a way to see in the dark. Today, it enhances a home’s beauty, sets the mood, and promotes well-being.
