Optimise Lighting Control with DALI 2.0.

16 April 2025

DALI 2.0 is an international lighting control standard (IEC 62386) that ensures seamless interaction between all certified DALI devices. To comply with the standard, manufacturers must register their products with the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DIIA) and undergo rigorous testing. Raytec’s SPARTAN Universal DALI Power Supply is certified for key DALI standard parts 101, 102, 207, 251, 252, and 253, ensuring high compatibility and performance.

Key Benefits: Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance

With DALI 2.0 integration, customers gain access to real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities, reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency. The system allows users to:

  • Monitor power usage: Track and optimise energy consumption.
  • Identify component failures: Detect lamp and driver issues before they escalate.
  • Assess operating conditions: Keep track of dimming levels, run times, and environmental factors.

What Can Customers Control and Monitor Using DALI?

Raytec has integrated DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) 2.0 into several of its SPARTAN and WARRIOR product lines, offering customers enhanced control and monitoring capabilities for their lighting systems. But what exactly does this mean for end users? Let’s explore the benefits of DALI 2.0 and how it improves operational efficiency and compliance with industry regulations.

Enhanced Control Capabilities

DALI 2.0’s key advantage is its addressability—each luminaire can be controlled individually or as part of a group. Users can:

  • Group luminaires into zones for customised control.
  • Adjust dimming levels and fade times to optimise lighting for different environments.
  • Automate lighting control using external inputs such as PIR sensors, photocells, or daylight sensors, enabling dynamic lighting adjustments based on occupancy or natural light availability.

 

Compliance with Regulations

DALI 2.0 also supports compliance with building regulations and energy efficiency standards. For example:

  • In the UK, Part L of the building regulations requires energy-efficient lighting control in new construction projects.
  • In the EU, EcoDesign requirements for luminaires set stringent efficiency benchmarks, making advanced lighting control solutions like DALI a necessity.

By integrating DALI 2.0 into our key product ranges, Raytec ensures that customers not only gain full control over their lighting but also meet legislative requirements effortlessly.
