Designed to make the benefits of lighting control easier to achieve than ever before, its clever technology is embedded into a passive infrared (PIR) sensor, rather than a traditional DIN rail or riser mounted box, to give a low total cost of ownership, no requirement for additional hardware, and simplified installation.<\/p>\n
O\ufb00ering 64 light addresses and 64 device addresses, DALI64 is con\ufb01gured on the DALI 2 open protocol. When used as a standalone system, luminaires are connected via a standard \ufb01ve-core cable or a two-core DALI network cable, and up to 16 scenes and eight occupancy zones can be created to match user needs.<\/p>\n
Simple lighting commissioning is carried out using the intuitive Light Touch app on any smart device, which eliminates the usual problems associated with traditional DALI systems. Scenes and groups can be controlled through a variety of methods including a low energy Bluetooth switch, which means no wires and no batteries.<\/p>\n
Nathan Cole, Global Product Manager at Ex-Or by Honeywell, explained, \u2018By using a Light Touch on any smart device, the usual problems associated with traditional DALI systems are eliminated. With no additional controller or hardware, and reduced installation and maintenance costs, DALI64 works equally well in both new and retro\ufb01t projects for energy conscious building managers.<\/p>\n
With greater recognition of the e\ufb00ect that a comfortable working environment has on employee wellbeing, good mental health and productivity, there is a now a signi\ufb01cant focus on lighting within commercial buildings. As well as having a negative e\ufb00ect on an individual\u2019s mood
\nand stress levels, poor quality lighting is associated with eyestrain, migraines and headaches, lethargy, irritability and low levels of concentration.<\/p>\n
A DALI64 system can assist in creating a human centric lighting solution that supports the circadian rhythm by automatically changing tone and colour \u2013 from warm white to daylight \u2013 in tune with any available natural light. It also considers the time of day, the position of the sun and even the time of year.<\/p>\n
Ex-Or\u2019s Nathan Cole concluded, \u2018The functionality of this innovative DALI64 lighting control solution puts Ex-Or at the forefront of the drive towards smarter buildings. Maintaining occupational health and wellbeing is vital and a controllable, adaptable lighting control system creates a more comfortable environment that improves productivity, reduces absence through illness and leads to highly motivated personnel.\u2019<\/p>\n
