2. History Perspective of Lighting Controls
History Perspective of Lighting Controls
• Proprietary and Stand‐alone from Inception
• p /
Limited to Simple on / off in 1980’s
• Integrated Occupancy Control added in 1990’s
• LonTalk Protocol (LonWorks) – 1993
Protocol (LonWorks)
– Adapted well in European Market
– Permits integrated Control Strategies with HVAC
e ts teg ated Co t o St ateg es t C
– Too expensive for Ballast Control
• DALI® developed in 1998 by Ballast Manufactures,
A I developed in 998 by allast Manufactures,
published as an IEC Standard 60929
– Enables Cost Effective Dimmable / Addressable Lighting
Control

• DALI® Ballast + Proprietary DALI Lighting Control Devices
– Example: Starfield Controls; Philips / Tridonic AgiliT; Lumenergi
• Proprietary Dimming Ballast + Proprietary Lighting Controller
and Lighting Input and Scene Control Devices
– Example: Lutron Ecosystem / Quantum
Example: Lutron Ecosystem / Quantum
• DALI Ballast LEDs to Incandescents + Open Control Devices
(
(LON, KNX, BACnet and Web/Smart devices) )
– Example: elitedali
• DALI Ballast + Open DALI Control Devices (NEMA 243)
– Not Available Yet!

4. Open Lighting Control Benefits
Open Lighting Control Benefits
• Lower initial cost to the Owner
– Simple wiring; Shared Control Trunk
• Hi h l l f
Higher level of maintenance to the Facility Manager
i h F ili M
– Status of lamp and ballast
• Greater flexibility to the Lighting Designer
Greater flexibility to the Lighting Designer
– Change grouping and scenes via software
• Lower energy costs to the User
– Reduced power consumption, parasitic power consumption
• Greater sense of control to the Occupant
– Individual control and method

If DALI is so Good ‐
Why until now has it seen so Little Market Acceptance
Why until now, has it seen so Little Market Acceptance
in the US?
• Essentially proprietary lighting solutions
• Poor User Interface and Database

Management Tools
• Complicated Commissioning
• High Cost of DALI Ballast (low sales volumes)

• Limited Interface Capabilities with BAS
• Limited Availability of Input Devices and Scene
Controllers

6. DALI System Value Proposition – Today
DALI System Value Proposition Today
 7 control strategies Smooth dimming
 System real‐time feedback  Personal controller
 Load Shedding /Demand Response  Simple commissioning
 Contributes to LEED certification  Integrated with convergent
Web based BMS
Open protocol solution
EPACT compliant
