Smartscape Connected Lighting Systems is a specialist in DALI and DALI-2 lighting control systems, delivering scalable, standards-based lighting control solutions across commercial, architectural and multi-dwelling projects throughout Australia.
We provide complete system capability including design, supply, programming, commissioning and ongoing support.
What is DALI Lighting Control?
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a globally adopted lighting control protocol designed for reliable, flexible and scalable control of lighting systems.
Unlike traditional switching, DALI allows individual luminaires and devices to be addressed, grouped and controlled digitally, providing significantly greater flexibility in both design and operation.
DALI systems are widely used in commercial buildings, education, healthcare and multi-residential developments where reliable and structured lighting control is required.
What is DALI-2?
DALI-2 is the latest evolution of the DALI standard, introducing improved interoperability, device standardisation and expanded functionality.
Key improvements in DALI-2 include:
-
Standardisation of control devices (sensors, switches, input devices)
-
Improved compatibility between manufacturers
-
Certification through the DALI Alliance
-
Greater system reliability and consistency
DALI-2 enables fully integrated lighting control systems where all devices operate within a unified, standards-based framework.
DALI vs DALI-2
While both DALI and DALI-2 operate on the same core protocol, DALI-2 provides a higher level of standardisation and system reliability.
For most modern commercial applications, DALI-2 is the preferred solution due to its improved interoperability and support for certified control devices.
