Every year, as the holidays approach, our minds drift toward lights.
Twinkling strings on rooftops. Warm glow in windows. A little shimmer to break up the gray.

But here at Definitive, when we think about holiday lighting, we think bigger.
We think about home lighting—how the right illumination can reshape a room, redefine a mood, and make your home feel years younger, all without a single strand of tinsel.

This season is the perfect moment to rethink the light that surrounds your life every day. Because while festive lights come down in January, beautiful lighting stays with you all year long.

And with the help of DMF Lighting and Lutron—brands we trust for their engineering, elegance, and transformative impact—you can give your home the kind of glow that outlasts every holiday.

Lighting That Changes Everything

For more than 50 years, Definitive has transformed audio and video into extraordinary experiences. Now, that same passion elevates lighting—because lighting is not just illumination. It is atmosphere, emotion, and a backdrop to every detail of your home. As Craig Abplanalp notes in our flipbook, “The right lighting deepens your connection to music and film, and it enhances the architecture, artwork, and design that define your space.”

Holiday lights may capture a moment.
DMF and Lutron capture a feeling.

DMF: From Retrofit Magic to Architectural Mastery

One of the easiest upgrades you can make this season?
A DMF retrofit transformation.

Many homeowners don’t realize that outdated recessed lighting can age a home by decades. With DMF’s elegant, modern retrofit solutions, you can give your home a 25-year facelift without cutting into a single ceiling panel. As highlighted throughout the DMF Retrofit Solutions guide, these upgrades offer:

• Richer, more accurate color rendering

• Warm dimming options

• Smooth, flicker-free dimming down to 1 percent

• Advanced optics and increased efficiency

• Seamless integration with your current lighting controls

• With Artafex 2 and Artafex 4 conversion kits, you can transition from bulky, outdated can lights to clean, contemporary design—all with minimal disruption. Page 8 of the flipbook illustrates exactly how effortless this can be: a simple conversion kit, and the space changes completely.

Sometimes the most meaningful holiday upgrade is the one you enjoy every day, long after the decorations are put away.

Lutron: Home Automation That Feels Like Magic

While DMF transforms the lighting itself, Lutron elevates the way you control, automate, and personalize it.

The Lutron flipbook reminds us that “lighting isn’t just about illumination—it’s about atmosphere, emotion, and the way every detail of your home comes alive.”

Lutron’s HomeWorks QSX system gives you:

• Whole-home lighting and shading control

• Integration of artificial and natural light

• Scene-based automation for mood, energy, and ambiance

• App-based control from anywhere

• Intuitive wall keypads that look as good as they function 

• And then, there’s Ketra—Lutron’s most advanced lighting platform.
  Ketra recreates the behavior of natural daylight inside your home, shifting from warm candlelight to bright midday sun at the touch of a button. It's described in the flipbook as “the biggest leap forward in lighting since the Edison carbon-filament bulb.”

Holiday lights may sparkle.
Ketra changes the way your home feels.
