DALI-2 Emergency

With a closing date of December 2, 2022, the DALI Lighting Awards 2022 will highlight and recognize the best use of DALI control applications and solutions in lighting projects across the world.

DALI+ provides DALI lighting control plus wireless and IP-based networking

DALI+ devices communicate using existing DALI commands, but these are carried over a wireless and/or IP-based medium rather than the dedicated pair of wires used by DALI-2 and D4i.

DALI+ builds on the proven and sophisticated DALI lighting-control features in wired (DALI-2 and D4i) options, and offers access to the same rich set of data from control gear, luminaires and sensors.

The first certification program for interoperable DALI+ devices will utilize Thread's low-power, IP-based, wireless-mesh networking protocol.

Wireless to DALI Gateways enable existing wired DALI lighting products to be used in non-DALI wireless ecosystems.

Gateways allow existing wireless ecosystems to control and query common DALI wired products, such as LED drivers. Devices in the wireless ecosystem communicate using their existing protocol, and can talk with the gateway.

The DALI Alliance is developing certification programs for:

• Bluetooth mesh to DALI Gateways
• Zigbee to DALI Gateways

DALI-2 certification is managed by the DALI Alliance and includes rigorous testing and third-party verification of test results. The image shows a typical set-up for DALI-2 testing (Photo courtesy of Loytec Electronics GmbH).
