I refuse to have anything less than the best in my home, which led me to find DMF. Lighting is incredibly important to the feel of your home. You could have the nicest house on earth with some fantastic furniture, but if it's not being represented well, it's never going to feel right.
That being said, let me introduce you to the DRD2. DMF makes a lot of lights, but this one is the best for the home, in my opinion. The DRD2 has a 93+ CRI rating, meaning the quality of light it produces renders colors more accurately than most lights. You'll need a few additional pieces though to make the module work, and that's what this kit is: everything you need for a new construction.
This kit was specifically designed for new construction applications. Check out the video Mike Figueira and I did on installing the retrofit kit. Obviously, new construction will be significantly different but there is still some good info in that video.
When it comes to options, we kept it as simple as possible. Style is pretty self-explanatory; unless you have wood ceilings, you’re going to want to go with white. Most homes have round fixtures, but I've definitely come around to the square fixtures in more modern homes.
You’ll want to be careful when it comes to color temperatures, mainly if you’re used to cheaper LEDs. DMF lights render color very accurately, so 3000k ends up looking closer to 3500K. So if you want a warmer look, go with 3000K. If you want more natural light, get the 3500K.
*The square options will come with square housings. Pictures will be updated ASAP*
