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 are excited to announce four awards at the prestigious 2021 DALI Lighting Control Awards, with two top Winning entries and two Highly Commended entries across multiple categories.
Delmatic’s DALI lighting management systems at Doha Metro won in the Infrastructure category, while Dubai 2020 Expo Sustainability and Mobility Pavilions won in the Entertainment and Architectural category. High commendation was also received in the Entertainment and Architectural category for Qatar 2022 World Cup Stadiums, and in the Residential category for South Quay Plaza tower in Canary Wharf. The winning projects were selected by an international judging panel of lighting designers, lighting magazine editors, and representatives from global lighting organizations.
DALI, which stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, is a dedicated protocol for digital lighting control that enables the easy installation of robust, scalable and flexible lighting management networks. The DALI Lighting Awards are held by the DALI Alliance each year and recognises the very best use of DALI lighting control applications and solutions around the world. Delmatic’s outstanding achievement at the 2021 DALI Awards is testament to our commitment in the design and application of cutting-edge DALI-2 lighting management systems comprising DALI-qualified controllers and devices.
Thank you to the judges as well as the project and Delmatic teams who have contributed to these showcase DALI solutions.
Delmatic’s DALI lighting management systems provide energy-efficient scene-setting control across 37 Doha Metro stations, monitoring 134,000 DALI assets and contributing to an architectural lighting scheme that reflects Qatar’s heritage. The ‘vaulted spaces’ architecture directs daylight deep into the station’s interior, and the DALI systems dynamically adjust lighting to replicate the effects of daylight in subterranean areas. DALI sensors adjust lighting levels according to occupancy and daylight, and the integrated light lines along the station’s ceiling and pillars double as wayfinding elements for passengers. The judges praised the strong use of DALI combining with architectural lighting design elements that bring light underground and create a comfortable environment for travellers.
Delmatic’s future-proofed DALI systems provide highly sustainable scene-setting, monitoring, and smart-data sharing across 51,000 DALI assets, achieving versatility of lighting layouts, adaptability to meet requirements of future tenants, and LEED Platinum and Gold sustainability rating. The judges described this as a stand-out architectural lighting project on a very large scale, with strong use of DALI technical capabilities combined with many notable creative and design features. They were impressed by the efforts to design with future-proofing and reconfigurability in mind, all enabled by DALI.
The extensive DALI systems comprise 90,000 DALI lamps, 5,000 DALI sensors, 2,300 DALI switches plus DALI controllers and devices, and a further 10,000 DALI emergency lamps. Delmatic’s DALI solutions provide addressable scene-setting of normal, emergency and decorative lighting across the stadium canopies and façades. The stadiums were highly commended by the judges for their impressive array of DALI technical features including sharing sensor data to maximize efficiency and sustainability of lighting and connected services as well as tracking stadiums’ energy usage.
Delmatic’s DALI systems provide accurate, energy-efficient digital management and monitoring of the entire normal lighting, emergency lighting and battery packs throughout the 68-storey building. The modular DALI system is a completely flexible and scalable solution for seamless extension into fit-out areas, residential amenity spaces and subsequent towers within the estate, to form a complete site-wide DALI system on a shared IP network. The judges commented on the excellent use of DALI, particularly in the shared amenity spaces of the landmark residential tower.
