• Expands architectural cylinder offering with 3- and 4-inch aperture decorative pendants
• Three shade designs provide Narrow, Medium and Wide distributions
• Multiple cylinder lengths produce 15 sleek, symmetrical pendant styles
• Embedded drivers allow for dimming options down to 0.1%, eliminating the need to locate any components above the canopy

CARSON, Calif., August 19, 2025. DMF Lighting, an architectural lighting manufacturer of premium modular LED downlighting systems, today announced the launch of a collection of sleek Decorative Pendants with Shades. The newest additions to the company's 3-inch aperture X Series and 4-inch aperture M Series cylinder collections include 15 performance decorative pendants offered in Narrow, Medium and Wide shade distributions and in multiple lengths, providing the same high-output execution as all the company's cylinders, up to 3000 lumens.

"Our new small aperture 3-inch and 4-inch pendants add a decorative layer of light to any space with three distinctive shade designs that complement each other, giving designers distinctive solutions for architecturally demanding indoor and outdoor spaces," said Ken Czech, vice president of new product development, DMF Lighting. "We also included a shadowless uplight option allowing for direct and indirect lighting from a single pendant."

The pendants feature concealed hardware, allowing the high-quality die-cast aluminum shades to seamlessly integrate into the pendant, resulting in a sleek and symmetrical aesthetic.

Design and Specifications

The collection of 15 pendants includes three shade diameters and multiple lengths. The 3-inch shade diameters are 5.06 inches (Narrow), 7.76 inches (Medium), and 10.21 inches (Wide), with nominal lengths across the 6 products ranging from 11 inches to 15 ½ inches. The 4-inch shade diameters are 6.14 inches (Narrow), 9.53 inches (Medium), and 12.51 inches (Wide). Total nominal lengths across the 9 pendants range from 9.5 inches to 20 inches.

The decorative pendants feature embedded drivers within the pendant, allowing for dimming down to 0.1% while eliminating the need to locate any components above the canopy for easy serviceability with below-ceiling access. This is ideal for open ceilings, shallow plenum installations, or any application where saving space is a priority.

As with all DMF products, the modular design features tool-less, field-changeable optics for onsite adjustments. Beam spread options include Narrow Spot (20°), Spot (30°), Flood (40°), and Wide Flood (50°) for the X Series 3-inch pendants, and Narrow Spot (15°), Spot (25°), Flood (40°), Wide Flood (60°), and General (90°+) for the M Series 4-inch pendants.

Performance and Sustainability

A full range of color temperatures includes 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, Warm Dim (3000K–1800K), and Tunable White (4000K–1800K and 6500K–2700K). The company will offer 2400K starting in October this year. Lumen outputs range from 750 to 1500 lumens (3-inch pendants) and 750 to 3000 lumens (4-inch pendants).

The pendants feature field-cuttable Cord or Stem mounting in standard lengths of 24 inches or 48 inches, or custom lengths up to 156 inches (Cord) or 96 inches (Stem). Pendant finishes include White or Black.

The pendants are ENERGY STAR® and Title 24 JA8 compliant, Dark Sky Approved, and Declare Listed. The products are suitable for Damp Locations, and at end of life, all components are 90% recyclable.
