The latest issue of LED Professional Review contains a detailed interview with DiiA's Scott Wade. Scott was invited to make a presentation at LpS 2018 about the founding of DiiA, and discussed measures that were taken to further develop the standard and its certification process and make the DALI concept future-proof with DALI-2. |
| LED Professional Symposium 2018 | Sept 2018 |
DALI-2: Standardized, interoperable components and smart luminaires By Scott Wade and Tim Whitaker, DiiA - Presented at LED Professional Symposium 2018 DALI-2 extends and enhances the strengths of DALI as a dedicated, standardized protocol for digital lighting control. For many years, the lighting community has installed DALI systems that are robust, scalable, cost-effective, reliable and flexible. But now, for the first time, DALI-2 has brought standardization to products such as sensors and other input devices, as well as application controllers, which are the “brains” of a DALI system. Furthermore, with its rigorous testing and verification procedures, the DALI-2 certification program from DiiA brings the promise of significantly-improved interoperability of products from different vendors. |

"Around 1,300 Maxos fusion luminaires from Signify illuminate the entire facility in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and the sensors relay information about warehouse usage and conditions via a Zigbee wireless connection to a cloud data system...Chips also wirelessly relay information about light conditions (such as outages) and luminaire energy consumption, which they gather from DALI wires in the same trunk as the electricity wires. Pilkington additionally uses DALI for lighting control." >> Signify PR |
