Innovative alternatives
DALI lighting control is the digital alternative to a conventional 1-10 V system, with the added
benefit that considerably fewer control components are required and a completely normal
5-wire installation cable can be used both for the power supply and for transmitting the
control signals. Gira also offers another alternative, the compensation module LED, which
improves dimming quality and prevents afterglow from any connected HV LED lamps.
DALI lighting control – simple, cost-effective, and flexible
DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a standard used by
many manufacturers for lighting control in buildings. DALI is increasingly
used in buildings such as offices, shops, restaurants, and hotels, as well
as in the residential sector. The system’s global standard enables lighting
control for a wide variety of loads; it is simple and cost-effective, intuitive
to operate, and flexible in terms of planning. As a digital alternative to
the usual 1-10 V technology, DALI with its various intelligent functions
offers the same level of convenience as complex bus systems. Ballasts
with a DALI interface can be addressed flexibly, meaning that they can
be controlled individually, but can also belong to one or more groups.
Dimming HV LED lamps without any flickering or afterglow
Since 2016, halogen lamps of 20 watts or more may no longer
be placed on the market. The HV LED lamp constitutes an efficient
and energy-saving alternative. The Gira compensation module LED
compensates for differences in the electronics used by different
manufacturers, ensuring that lights don’t flicker and there is no afterglow
in any dimming processes when they are switched off. The Gira
compensation module LED also offers the same degree of dimming
quality provided by conventional lamps. It can be combined with
dimmers from all Gira systems, whether conventional, eNet or KNX
dimmers, and can be installed in the light itself, in the device box,
or the sub-distribution board. If required, several compensation
modules can be connected in parallel.
