LED Professional Symposium 2018	Sept 2018	DALI-2: Standardized, interoperable components and smart luminaires By Scott Wade and Tim Whitaker, DiiA - Presented at LED Professional Symposium 2018 DALI-2 extends and enhances the strengths of DALI as a dedicated, standardized protocol for digital lighting control. For many years, the lighting community has installed DALI systems that are robust, scalable, cost-effective, reliable and flexible. But now, for the first time, DALI-2 has brought standardization to products such as sensors and other input devices, as well as application controllers, which are the “brains” of a DALI system. Furthermore, with its rigorous testing and verification procedures, the DALI-2 certification program from DiiA brings the promise of significantly-improved interoperability of products from different vendors.
