Have you noticed that interiors from the early 2000s are starting to appear outdated? It may not be obvious what the reason is, but in our opinion? The main culprit is the gaping six-inch holes in rows across the ceiling.
Nicknamed “Swiss cheese ceilings” by interior and lighting designers, large can lights are the ‘popcorn ceilings’ of today. To avoid these clunky, cluttered ceilings, designers are instead opting for small-aperture fixtures from high-performance brands like DMF Lighting.
And now, DMF Lighting’s small-aperture recessed lights have become even smaller, with the debut of its new Artafex 1 one-inch architectural downlight. One inch! This astounding feat in engineering and design delivers the same brightness and ambient lighting you need with a significantly smaller visual footprint on the ceiling. Here’s how it works.
Small Yet Mighty: Designed for Whole-House Use
DMF Lighting is positioning the Artafex 1 as its first one-inch downlight designed for whole-house ambient lighting, while it was previously limited to accent lighting. Before, one-inch fixtures were constrained by lighting output and cost constraints, and weren’t typically used for general illumination across the house.
This all changes with the Artafex 1, with its (patent pending) 3-Stage Optic design that mitigates glare and maintains optical clarity. Despite its slight size, the fixture can deliver up to 1,000 lumens and features a 35-degree tilt mechanism to adjust beam angle.
Why Choose or Switch to DMF?
Whether you’re building a new house or planning a renovation, DMF’s intelligent lighting fixtures are designed to fit tastefully within your architecture. It’s not just that the lighting fixture itself looks great. With DMF’s recessed lighting, you’ll get:
-
Tunable White: Start with bright, cool lighting in the morning, and shift to a warm, cozy glow in the evening.
-
Quiet Ceilings: Its smaller size takes attention off the fixture itself and draws attention to your beautiful ceiling and furnishings.
-
Precise Color Control: Set the same hue across all your lights through your preferred control system.
-
Dimming Down to 0.1 Percent: Barely-there illumination, perfect for late-night wakeups that are easy on the eyes.
DMF Lighting is one of the most acclaimed and awarded lighting manufacturers in the industry. If lighting matters to you and you love creating a mood, this is the brand for your home.
