Not all light beams deliver the same color from center to edge.

Color over angle (CoA) occurs when the color of light shifts at different angles within a beam, creating noticeable variations across illuminated surfaces.

The cause? It often comes down to how light interacts with the fixture's optical system.

A lighting upgrade doesn't have to start with a new housing.

DMF's 8" to 4" Retrofit Conversion Kit makes it possible to transform existing 6"–8" recessed downlights into 4" architectural fixtures without replacing the original housing.

With a simplified installation process and a wide selection of trims, lumen packages, and color temperatures, upgrading your lighting doesn't have to mean rebuilding what's already there.

An exposed ceiling calls for lighting that's as thoughtfully designed as the space itself.

For this 8,500-square-foot San Francisco office, the M Series 4" Cylinder in White delivers clean, even illumination while complementing the workspace's natural materials and exposed architectural elements.

With the driver integrated directly into the fixture body, no additional hardware is needed above the ceiling plane. The self-contained design simplifies installation and allows the cylinders to integrate seamlessly into open offices, kitchens, and collaborative spaces.
Featuring a 4" extrusion and delivering 1,500 lumens per fixture, these pendant-mounted cylinders provide powerful illumination with a clean, understated profile.

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.
