A standardized protocol called DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is used to control luminaires and bulbs digitally. Up to 64 luminaires by a group can be individually controlled with DALI.
A central control unit (DALI controller) and a number of luminaires or lamps (collectively referred to as DALI devices) make up the DALI protocol. The DALI controller can be used to set the specific address that corresponds to each DALI device. The individual DALI devices can then receive commands from the DALI controller to turn on or off, switch the brightness, or perform other settings.
DALI luminaires and devices frequently contain extra features including preset scene storage, level-specific dimming, and information reporting back to the DALI controller.
Communication between DALI controllers and other control devices, such as sensors or switches, is also made possible via the DALI protocol. This makes it possible to create intelligent lighting control systems that take into account factors like motion sensing, daylighting, and other factors.
In conclusion, DALI provides a versatile and dependable solution to regulate lighting systems to assure optimal lighting, conserve energy, and enhance user experience.
