With a bezel-less design, ultra-thin form factor and durable finish, the DRD5S is striking yet affordable for even the most budget conscious builder. It matches the aesthetic of a high-end recessed downlight while retaining the economy of a surface mount.
But make no mistake, the DRD5S is not all about looks. It produces class-leading exceptional lighting as well. Here are the top five reasons why the DRD5S outperforms other surface mount LEDs.
Â
1) Uniform Illumination
Featuring a precisely optimized array of over 100 LEDs, the backlit DRD5S delivers smooth, uniform illumination with no visible fasteners. The LEDs are expertly engineered to evenly illuminate the specialized lens edge-to-edge, leaving no hint of hot or dark spots to distract the eye.
2) Reduced Glare
Since the light source is completely visible for all surface mounts, they are susceptible to producing a large amount of glare that detracts from the rest of the room. The DRD5S combats this with a specialized lens that transmits clear, consistent light with a subtle diffusion to minimize glare even at full light output.
3) Accurate Color Representation
With a 90+ CRI rating, the DRD5S matches the color rendering capabilities of most premium recessed downlights. This ensures a more accurate color representation so objects don’t appear to be a different shade during day and night.
4) Smooth Dimming
Compatible with either TRIAC/ELV or 0-10V dimming controls, the DRD5S is powered by DMF’s proprietary driver. It provides flicker-free, smooth dimming down to 1% light output.
5) Disappears Into the Ceiling
The primary function of any surface mount is to mimic more expensive recessed fixtures, blending into its surface to create a “quiet ceiling”. While others are close, the DRD5S excels at this through its combination of glare mitigation, uniform illumination, bezel-less design and slimmest in class design. It’s truly in a class of its own with a disappearing act that leaves the competition behind.
DMF designs products that perform beautifully and are intuitively simple. The DRD5S epitomizes this, offering incredible lighting capabilities at an unbeatable price point. That’s because we understand that light is more than illumination; light is what makes a space beautiful, useful, and, ultimately, enjoyable.
