DMF’s LED Lighting Fixtures Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

We’ve written on this blog about how the key to great lighting design is in layers. Ideally, a room shouldn’t be illuminated only by a few overhead lights. Mixing ambient, accent, and task lighting layers will bring depth and emotion to the room with the freedom to add or remove lights for life’s different activities. 

When we need to source LED lighting fixtures for a lighting design project, time and time again, we look to DMF Lighting. DMF engineers and manufactures high-end LED light fixtures with modular housings for its range of lighting products. DMF’s warm-dim and color-tunable technology make it the perfect choice for smart lighting control systems.

Last year, DMF unveiled its new small aperture downlight, a revolutionary product for the lighting industry. Here’s what small aperture lighting means and why it can do wonders for your Dallas, TX, home.

Take Total Control of Your Texas Home’s Lighting

When it comes to new builds, renovations, or interior design projects, we often mistakenly overlook our home’s lighting. But lighting can influence your house’s atmosphere just as much as furniture or a new carpet. Most builders install light switches and lights haphazardly in homes. A certified lighting designer knows how to create an LED lighting design that can be controlled by a smart system, so your home looks its best, is more convenient to manage, saves energy, and is safer, too.

How? We share how an LED lighting design can enhance any home so you can find inspiration for your University Park, TX-area house. Discover the possibilities below!

Why A Home Lighting Control System Is Worth the Upgrade 

Lightbulbs have largely functioned the same way for nearly one hundred and fifty years—ever since Thomas Edison first invented them. Sure, colored light bulbs emerged, followed by fluorescents and spiral CFLs that use less energy. Still, all lightbulbs worked the same as always—you screwed them in, turned on a light, and that was that.  

That is, until the LED light. With LED lighting, suddenly you can remotely control the appearance and atmosphere of your home like a magic spell. LED lights can be intelligently controlled to adjust their brightness and color and can even be managed in groups or as a whole system. 

Upgrading your home with an LED lighting control system has proven to enhance both comfort and efficiency in many ways. Read on to find out how.

Discover the Advantages of a Professional Lighting Design 

Beautiful architecture and eye-catching interior décor are important. But that’s only one-half of the equation when designing a home. The other half? Lighting. 

Lighting is often an overlooked component of design, but it can make or break a space. Imagine a cozy, dimly-lit wine bar with interior brick and candlelight—the perfect spot for a date night. Now consider that same spot with ultra-bright fluorescent lights—or recessed lighting that shines on your face like a spotlight. It doesn’t feel as intimate anymore, does it? 

Similarly, your home’s lighting can profoundly impact the atmosphere you create. But most people don’t put too much thought into their lighting. They plug in a few lamps, screw in any-old light bulbs, and hang up whatever drapes they’ve owned for years. 

Whether you’re renovating your Frisco, TX home or are building a new property, this is the time to revamp your lighting with innovative LED lighting. But should you attempt to DIY your lighting design—or hire a lighting designer? 

Many people may be unaware of what a lighting designer does and how partnering with one can create jaw-dropping results. Below, we share the benefits a certified lighting designer can offer your home. And to learn more about home technology improvements, subscribe to our monthly newsletter here.
