DALI DIMMING DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. It is an international standard that defines how a lighting installation should communicate with control and steering systems.

Important to know is that DALI is independent of manufacturers. This means that it is possible to use different brands of components in the same system.

Each system consists of a controller and a maximum of 64 lighting components, such as a ballast. Each of these components is given a unique address. The controller can control these components because the DALI system can transmit and receive data.

DALI is dimmable from 0-100%.

BUILT-IN DIMMERS There are two types of built-in dimmers: rotary or push button.

A rotary knob dimmer can be pressed to turn lights on or off. You turn the knob to select the light intensity.

A push button works according to the same on-off principle. However, to change the light intensity, you must hold in the button. Some push button dimmers alternate in their operation (brightness increases during the first long press, dimming occurs during the second long press). Other push button dimmers reach a specific percentage (brightness increases to an specific intensity when N percent is reached and then dims again).

1-10 V - 10VVwires With a01-10 dimming technique, a signal is transmitted between 1 V and 10 V. 10 V is the maximum amount (100%) and 1 V is the minimum amount (10%).

0-10 V Transmits a signal between 0 and 10 V. The output of the lamp is scaled such that a voltage of 10 V provides 100% light output. And, 0 V provides the least light output.
