James McCune Smith Learning Hub, University of Glasgow

"DALI provides an open system which allows ease of installation, reliability, and is future-proof. All sensor and input devices were to be part of the same network as the luminaires. The system was required to be accessible to the University’s facility management team and report faults automatically and provide future connectivity options."

Vágartunnelen (posting on LinkedIn)

The Vágar Tunnel connects Tórshavn with Vágar Airport in the Faroe Islands. The tunnel is 4.9 km long and ten meters wide. In collaboration with LM Electric in the Faroe Islands, Vanpee supplied a Helvar DALI light control system. The approximately 400 luminaires in the tunnel are programmed so that the light intensity drops down towards the center of the tunnel. On the way out of the tunnel, the light rises again, so that the eyes get used to the intensity before getting out into the daylight.

City of Palmerston ‘Makes the Switch’ across its lighting network with the latest in smart technology

Palmerston, Australia, is switching its 5,000 streetlights to smart LED technology. This includes a downward-facing Zhaga-D4i interface on each luminaire, to allow for future addition of smart sensors. These might count traffic, measure climate parameters or monitor for pollution.

"Calibration by the drivers and LED modules ensures high white light quality from 2,700 to 6,500 K – at constant luminous flux in all colour temperatures and perfect colour consistency between systems and luminaires. The built-in DT8 PRE drivers offer outstanding dimming between 1 and 100 percent thanks to DALI."

The first KNX intelligent commercial building in the USA

As the HQ for ABB’s Industrial Automation USA division, this intelligent building needed to have the highest level of building automation available. The KNX protocol was used for all of the occupant/room level controls including LED lighting (with DALI) and HVAC. The project comprises 1197 KNX components, 3425 DALI interior lights, and 225 exterior lights including the parking lot and five ABB signs.

Pilkington Automotive facility, Gelsenkirchen, Germany

"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."

"Control-wise, KSLD replaced the original scheme with Lutron-controlled DALI lines, as Shaw elaborated: “The original scheme was just switched. We had all the power lines in the ceiling, and we repurposed these to become DALI lines with minimal re-wiring, because in six weeks, we couldn’t rewire the whole thing.”

Curl Aberdeen: Lighting Fit for Champions

"To avoid using complicated controls, the rink uses the Holophane Holos Air Lite system. This is based on the wireless EnOcean technology protocol. A simple wall switch, which doesn’t require any mains power, sends a signal wirelessly to the DALI connected node on the luminaires. No extra wiring is required to dim the luminaires."
