John Woodnutt, entrepreneur and inventor of electronic lighting control technology, has been awarded an MBE for services to Business and Entrepreneurship in the 2023 New Year Honours list. John pioneered lighting controls in the late 1950s and the Honour recognises his unique innovations in lighting controls and his six decades of commitment to creating smart, sustainable building solutions.
Delmatic’s smart lighting solutions seamlessly mesh wireless, wired and mixed-mode controls across physical or cloud networks, continuously monitoring, analysing and optimising lighting and sharing real-time intelligence to optimise building performance.
DALI-2 is the global standard for digital dimming, enabling devices from different manufacturers to be seamlessly integrated into interoperable networks.
We offer a wide range of DALI-2 products that can be integrated with other open protocol systems such as LON and BACnet.
Delmatic’s DALI-2 Switch interfaces enable standard momentary-action (two-way-and-off retractive) switches to be converted into system switches or DALI-2 switches: in this way, system switches and DALI-2 switches can have the same plate finish as other electrical accessories in the building.
The switch interfaces enable two independent switches to be connected to a shared buswire and avoid the need to wire individual switches back to multiple input points. The switch interfaces also connect to the shared DALI buswire which links DALI-2 ballasts, DALI-2 presence detectors and multisensors and DALI-2 emergency devices, reducing the extent of wiring on a project.
The switch interface comprises a compact electronic device that fits within a switch backbox and connects to the switch terminals and to the smart/DALI bus. Switching and dimming actions at the switch are converted into commands which are transmitted to the lighting management network.
