DMF has introduced a 2400K color temperature as a standard offering across it’s downlighting and cylinder collections. This warm hue is ideal for hospitality setting or those applications requiring a warmer ambiance.
The M Series downlighting family now includes a high-quality marine-grade IP66- and IK10-rated trim, designed for harsh coastal regions to keep moisture, salt and other outdoor elements from entering the fixture. Boasting a high level of durability with no limitations on lumen output, the trim feature no visible screws for a clean, architectural look, ideal for outdoor hospitality applications including coastal area restaurants and hotel exteriors, as well as outdoor residential spaces. The marine-grade trim seamlessly matches other family trims, ensuring 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, which are most suitable for marine environments. The trim’s marine-grade finish utilizes a super durable epoxy-based power coat finish and additionally achieves an IP66 and IK10 rating with its fully sealed and impact resistant front lens.
