Flexible Uses

One of our favorite reasons to include downlights in a home lighting design is that they offer a range of flexible uses. For example, install them in large rooms for general ambient light, or you can dim them to a mood. 

DMF Lighting DRD Series Modules provide homeowners with flicker-free dimming and smooth fading. In addition, they are compatible with various dimmers and lighting controls to add a cozy and soft tone to any room.

With tiltable functions, you can use downlights to create focused task lighting. This type of lighting is perfect for kitchen preparations, primping in the bathroom, office work, or illuminating the hallway.

Create a Visual Impact

Layering is an important technique in lighting design that involves pairing downlights with pendant lights or lamps for a higher visual impact. You can scale back layered lighting impact by dialing down one layer at a time, softening the room's brightness.

DMF Lighting's DCC Cylinder is an excellent option for layering interest with traditional ceiling downlights. With three sizes and multiple finishes available, the DCC Cylinder uses a modular design to provide a million different customizable options for appearance.

Layers could include under-cabinet downlights in a kitchen, bookshelf downlights, or highlighting downlights on unique design features such as artwork.

An Energy-Efficient Choice

Downlighting is an energy-friendly choice for homeowners with its LED bulbs and dimming capabilities. In addition, LED bulbs last longer than typical incandescent light bulbs, which makes them perfect for installation in hard-to-reach places, such as high ceilings. It would not be uncommon for an LED bulb to last ten years or more, depending on daily usage.

In addition to using LED bulbs and dimmers, motion-sensor lighting solutions or lighting controls can also help conserve energy when you're not in the room.
