CARSON, Calif., September 23, 2025 — DMF Lighting, a manufacturer of premium modular LED downlighting systems, today announced an expansion to its premium modular recessed downlighting and cylinder collections designed to address architectural and technical challenges faced by the specification and design community.

The architectural enhancements include X Series 2-inch round and square premium metalized trims; an M Series 4-inch wall wash cylinder; and the introduction of a 2400K color temperature as a standard offering across all downlighting and cylinder collections. Addressing technical challenges, the additions include the M Series Super Shallow housing, an X Series Digital Remodel housing tailored for DALI-2 applications, and an M Series Marine Grade IP66-rated trim, engineered to withstand harsh environments.

"We continuously engage with the design community, attentively addressing their needs to specify a single product line that fulfills all project requirements," said Ken Czech, vice president of new product development, DMF Lighting. "These new premium offerings exemplify DMF's commitment to superior quality, distinctive modularity, and simplicity."

The X Series 2-inch aperture architectural downlight family now includes high-performing trims available in Brass, Copper, and Graphite. These trims feature a premium metalized finish achieved through a Molecular Vapor Deposition (MVD) process, which reduces glare while providing a refined appearance. The round and square trims are offered in downlight and adjustable models, as well as in micro flange and flangeless styles.

The M Series Cylinder collection includes a new wall wash option for the 4-inch diameter family. The wall wash cylinder is equipped with a built-in rotational mechanism for onsite aiming. The pendant-, wall-, and surface-mount family is offered in 4-, 8-, and 12-inch lengths and in standard finishes of White, Black, Bronze, Brushed Aluminum, or a custom color.

DMF has introduced a 2400K color temperature as a standard offering across its downlighting and cylinder collections. This warm hue suits hospitality settings or applications requiring a warmer ambiance.

The M Series downlighting family now includes a marine-grade IP66- and IK10-rated trim, designed for coastal regions to keep moisture, salt, and other outdoor elements from entering the fixture. The trim carries no limitations on lumen output and features no visible screws for a clean, architectural look, suited to outdoor hospitality applications including coastal restaurants and hotel exteriors, as well as outdoor residential spaces. The marine-grade trim matches other family trims for a cohesive appearance across projects.

The M Series Marine Grade trim meets the American Architectural Manufacturers Association's (AAMA) 2605 standard for wear and corrosion resistance, one of the highest standards for protective metal coatings suited to marine environments. The trim's marine-grade finish uses a super durable epoxy-based powder coat and achieves an IP66 and IK10 rating with a fully sealed, impact-resistant front lens.

Designed for tight spaces, the M Series Super Shallow round and square housings feature a retractable design to accommodate both DMF's fixed and adjustable modules. The housings' 3-inch height, built for adjustable and DALI-2 modules, can collapse to 2½ inches for a fixed downlight when full adjustability isn't required, suited to projects with extreme depth restrictions.

The M Series Super Shallow housings also feature a vertical height adjustment collar allowing ½ inch to 1½ inches of ceiling thickness and are pre-wired for TRIAC, 0-10 volt, and DALI-2 dimming. The housing can be installed in roll, batt, and blown insulation, and features below-ceiling access for serviceability.

DMF has also introduced X Series Digital Remodel housings for its 2-inch aperture product line, designed for compatibility with DALI-2 modules to address the growing lighting control protocol. These remodel housings, available in round and square apertures, feature a junction box cap that snaps onto the module for installation.
