Control individual luminaires or arrange them into groups for a space that works the way you do.
A brighter way to think about lighting
Good light is
always in control.
Meet DALI: the open digital language that helps lighting work smarter, feel better, and adapt to the spaces we use every day.

01 / The protocol
Lighting that listens,
and responds.
DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. It is a standardized communication protocol that connects lighting equipment, giving each device a voice and making lighting easier to control as needs change.

Adjust light levels, recall scenes and create the right atmosphere for different moments.
⌘
03 / 03Built to evolve
Update groups and scenes through commissioning, without having to redesign the whole lighting installation.
02 / The bigger picture
One conversation.
Many possibilities.
A DALI system brings control devices and lighting equipment together over a shared two-wire bus. Commands go out, devices respond, and the whole space works as one.

A few bright answers.
What is the difference between DALI and DALI-2?
DALI-2 is the updated certification program based on the DALI standard. It includes requirements for control devices as well as control gear, with a focus on interoperability. Check the specific certification and supported features of each product.
Can DALI control lights individually?
Yes. Addressable control gear can be controlled individually, or assigned to groups and scenes during commissioning.
Is DALI only for large buildings?
No. DALI can be used in a range of spaces, from a single room to larger buildings. The appropriate system depends on the project and its control needs.
What should I look for when choosing equipment?
Check certification, compatibility, supported functions, power requirements and the needs of your project. A lighting controls professional can help with system design and commissioning.
