Create a 'Quiet Ceiling' Design with DMF’s Retrofit LED Kit
Convert Your Existing Recessed Lights to Sleek LED Fixtures
Have you heard of ‘quiet ceilings’? The latest interior design phenomenon, quiet ceilings are a sleek and minimalistic approach to recessed lights. The idea is to notice the warmth and illumination from LED lights—but not the fixture itself.
To achieve quiet ceilings, we use small aperture, recessed downlights with a narrower opening than older recessed lights. DMF Lighting, one of our preferred lighting manufacturers, offers recessed downlights with apertures as small as four and even two inches wide.
But you don’t need to redo your ceilings to achieve a sleek, modern lighting design. DMF Lighting’s retrofit lighting solutions make it easy to upgrade outdated light fixtures to sleek, new LEDs. Here’s how it works—and how your home’s interior will look so much better.

Still Using Old Recessed Lights?
If you already have recessed lights at home, odds are the aperture is around six inches in diameter. At half a foot wide, that draws a lot of attention to itself!
Older versions of recessed lights provide general, ambient light to the space below. But DMF Lighting’s bespoke fixtures allow you to adjust the beam angle and intensity of your lights, so you can use recessed lights for ambient, task, and accent lighting. Plus, smart LEDs can be intelligently controlled to achieve the exact dimming level and color you desire.
Why Switch to LED Recessed Lights?
You could just keep on going with your outdated recessed lights, but you’d be missing out on:
- More Energy Efficiency: LED lights are up to 90 percent more efficient than incandescent bulbs and last ten times longer than CFL (spiral) bulbs. You’ll reduce energy bills and will rarely have to replace LEDs.
- More Possibilities: Smart LEDs can display the entire spectrum of white light, from warm, golden white to icy, bright shades. Select from millions of colors of the rainbow and dim your lights to the exact level you want.
- Better-Looking Fixtures: Thanks to their small diode size, LEDs can fit within smaller lighting cans. Now, recessed LED lighting has become smaller in diameter, becoming only a minimal presence on your ceiling. As a result, your rooms will look more elegant and intentional without large, distracting holes in the ceiling.
