If you missed seeing the 1-inch marvel that is DMF Lighting’s Artafex 1 at Lightapalooza, CEDIA Expo 2026 may be your next best bet. At Booth 2106, DMF Lighting will be showing off its latest lighting innovation alongside the latest outdoor and landscape lighting solutions from its sister brand HK Lighting.
What is Artafex 1
Artafex 1 is a one-inch downlight and adjustable fixture DMF says was built to solve a problem that has limited the category since one-inch fixtures first launched: limited output, poor glare control, no tunability and fixtures that required cutting into finished ceilings for service kept them relegated to accent lighting alone.
At the heart of the fixture is a patent-pending 3-Stage Optic that can reportedly deliver up to 750 lumens while controlling glare from a nearly invisible trim, with tunable white and warm dim options for softer, more livable light wherever it’s needed.
Both the driver and light module are tool-free and fully accessible from below the ceiling plane, so integrators never need to reopen a finished ceiling for service.
What Else is DMF Bringing to CEDIA Expo?
DMF will also showcase Artafex Linear, its half-inch architectural linear lighting system for under-cabinet, cove, millwork, and accent applications.
DMF will also hold Artafex PhaseX training sessions at CEDIA Expo 2026, with three one-hour sessions offered each day: Wednesday, September 2 at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m., and Thursday, September 3 at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 1 p.m.
Sessions will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver, Mineral Ballroom B-C, and cover Artafex PhaseX technology and products, including the new Ethernet PhaseX Gateway. Advance dealer signup is required; attendees can register here or stop by DMF’s booth for details.
Attendees can visit DMF at Booth 2106 to experience the Artafex 1 and Artafex Linear line firsthand and what control through the PhaseX gateway looks like in person.
