OneFrame
Sexy and sleek. A lighting fixture you need to know about.
BY STEPHANIE CASIMIRO
Once upon a time⊠you only had a few options when it came to lighting your living room. There were several sizes of incandescent lights/fixtures (size of the projected beam/flood), several wattages to pick from (level of overall brightness), and if you really wanted to go custom, you could put in a dimmer switch.
Well, today thatâs all changed. Just for downlighting purposes your options include a wide range of lighting components and in-ceiling frames that run the gamut from flood to narrow flood, wall wash to accent lighting.
And thatâs not all! With tunable lighting and lighting control systems that allow the homeowner to make on-the-fly changes to their lighting schemes, the complexity of hardware on the market poses a real challenge for lighting and interior designers. Which is why weâve fallen head-over-heels with DMFâs OneFrame.
The OneFrame is an LED housing that was created with multiple disciplines encoded into its DNA. From residential to multi-family (MDU) to commercial, itâs a cost-effective solution that requires less than 4âł of ceiling space. What sets it apart is the versatility and functionality that adds up to a value-add thatâs hard to beat.
Letâs first consider DMFâs primary led downlights
The DRD2 is a powerful chip-on-board LED that delivers up to 1,000 lumens of general lighting true color representation. The DRD2X incorporates advanced optics for a precise, targeted beam of low glare illumination. The DRD4 incorporates an integral driver and 20°, 30°, and 40° beam options with full 360° directional aiming.
Whatâs cool about the OneFrame is that their downlights are completely interchangeable. Letâs say youâre a builder and you spec lighting into each of the units in an MDU. Who knows what each resident will opt for when it comes to lighting their space? Now you have the option of installing DMFâs in-ceiling housing and giving the new tenants options when it comes to customizing their environment.
Homeowners also benefit from this modular concept. Who knows when you might choose to switch up any given room dĂ©cor. With a modular approach to the lighting infrastructure â the actual housing unit â you can change from wall wash to accent lighting in minutes. As customers redecorate their home, the lighting can now seamlessly change as well.
But wait! Thereâs more! Besides the versatility of offering a modular housing approach to downlighting, DMF has been smart to engineer in some well thought out features that add to the OneFrameâs versatility.
