What is DALI
DALI, which stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, is a widely recognized and standardized communication protocol used in the lighting industry. Developed in the 1980s by a ballast company, DALI was created to establish a common language for communication between lighting control devices and ballasts.
DALI enables individual control and addressability of lighting fixtures within a system, allowing for precise and flexible control over various lighting parameters. It facilitates two-way communication between a lighting control device, such as a controller or sensor, and the lighting fixtures themselves. This means that commands can be sent from the control device to the fixtures, such as turning them on or off, dimming them, or adjusting their color, while also receiving feedback from the fixtures, such as their status or energy consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Disadvantages of DALI Lighting
Disadvantages of utilizing DALI lighting include the imbalance in the cost equation when compared to traditional phase dimming. Despite the potential cost savings in the distribution board, the higher cost of luminaire/ballast remains a significant drawback.
What Is the Difference Between DALI and Dimmable
Understanding the Distinction Between DALI and Dimmable Systems. In simple terms, dimming refers to the ability to decrease the maximum brightness of a ballast or fixture. DALI compatible fixtures offer dimming control to enable this functionality.
Is DALI and DMX the Same
DALI and DMX are not the same. They differ in terms of their functionality and capabilities. DALI is a decentralized lighting control system, whereas DMX is a centralized lighting control system. Additionally, DALI has a maximum of 64 connections, while DMX can support up to 512 connections. Furthermore, DMX is known for its fast-paced control system, while DALI operates at a slower pace.
