DMF Lighting DMF Lighting’s products are designed to be intuitively simple while leveraging the most forward-thinking LED light technology.

DMF Lighting designs, manufactures and distributes residential and commercial downlighting that simply fits — it’s easy to specify and intuitively simple. An engineering driven company, DMF stands out for our forward-thinking industrial design and engineering, responsive service, and deliverability of product. From a small family business founded 30 years ago by an electrical engineer out of his garage in Southern California, DMF has grown into a national lighting manufacturer with nimble supply chain logistics and a national network of warehouses and suppliers — which helps us deliver intelligent LED lighting products to our trade customers exactly when and where they need them. We are investing heavily in the future of lighting by hiring industry leading industrial designers and engineers, while simultaneously building out our cutting edge facility in Carson, California. There we are developing affordable products that deliver excellent light quality and complementmthe environments where they are installed. Our aim is to make intelligent, future-focused lighting solutions widely accessible to the markets we serve.

How do we deliver powerful illumination through a 1" aperture without compromising visual comfort?

It starts with the optics.

True 1's three-stage optical system precisely controls how light travels through the fixture, delivering over 750 nominal lumens while minimizing source visibility and perceived glare.

As downlight apertures get smaller, optical engineering becomes increasingly important to achieving the right balance of light output, beam control, and visual comfort.

Imagine a downlight designed with maintenance in mind.

With DMF downlights, the driver is integrated into the LED module, simplifying service when either component needs replacing. Rather than troubleshooting and sourcing separate components, the entire assembly can be swapped out as a single unit from below the ceiling.

That means no cutting into finished ceilings or repairing surrounding surfaces to access the components that need servicing. Most small replacement part orders ship within 2–3 days, supporting quick and efficient maintenance throughout the life of the installation.

When light spreads across wide angles and reaches surrounding surfaces, it creates an expansive effect.

Add a layer of dimension to architectural downlighting with the X Series Round Decorative Hyperbolic Trim. Its optical-quality acrylic extends below the ceiling plane, catching and diffusing light to create an inviting glow while adding a sculptural element to the space.

A clearer way to define the X Series.

The X Series is now classified as a 3" aperture, reflecting the true lower inner diameter of the trim at the ceiling plane.

While the designation has changed from 2" to 3", the product has not. Fixture dimensions, cutouts, performance, and hardware remain unchanged.

True 1 has been named a Winner in the 2026 Best of Products Awards by The Architect's Newspaper.

Taking top honors in the Lighting: Architectural, Single Fixture category, True 1 was recognized for bringing modularity and flexibility to a compact 1" aperture, with tool-less, field-interchangeable optics, modules, and trims.

“The fact that you can change and redirect your light is innovative. Plus, the aperture is so small. It’s pretty incredible.”
— Stefanie Shunk, Design Director and Principal, Gensler

This recognition reflects what True 1 was designed to deliver: architectural lighting performance, flexibility, and serviceability within a minimal ceiling presence.

Wildlife-friendly lighting starts with understanding how artificial light affects the nighttime environment.

Artificial light at night can disrupt wildlife behavior, migration, and natural habitats, making responsible outdoor lighting an important consideration for projects in wildlife-sensitive environments.

Our Wildlife-Friendly Lighting Technical Bulletin explores DarkSky guidelines, turtle-safe lighting practices, and considerations for bird-friendly lighting, including how wavelength, shielding, light levels, and controls can help minimize the impact of outdoor illumination.

DMF also offers DarkSky Approved Sea Turtle Sensitive configurations across select M Series and X Series downlights and cylinders.

We recently welcomed members of the SESCO Lighting, Inc Lighting team to DMF for two days of hands-on training and product demonstrations.

We also stepped outside the training room for a tour of SoFi Stadium where the team got to take the field and punt a few footballs.

Spending time together like this is an important part of how we work with our rep partners. It helps us better understand each other, share what we know, and continue building strong relationships between our teams.

Thank you to SESCO Lighting for making the trip and spending two great days with us!

Small Aperture. Big Performance. Low Glare.

At the heart of True 1 is a proprietary 3-stage optical stack engineered to deliver the beam control and glare management expected from a full-sized architectural downlight within a true 1" aperture.

Light moves from the LED through the primary lens, focusing lens, and cross over lens, working together to precisely shape and control the beam. The resulting Cross Beam Technology manages stray light before it reaches the eye, delivering powerful illumination with exceptional visual comfort.
