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 advanced DALI lighting management and emergency monitoring system supports the environmental goals of the building.

The BREEAM “Excellent” building helps teach students about the techniques of sustainable building by example. Excellent environmental standards underpin every aspect of the design which incorporates “green” technologies such as rainwater harvesting, solar & biomass heating, and high-efficiency lighting backed by a sophisticated, responsive Delmatic DALI system.
A Delmatic DALI systems controls lighting throughout the complex including the extensive workshops, lecture theatres, communal interactive spaces, teaching spaces and academic offices. Light sources and luminaires were selected to maximise their light output ratio, and this inherent efficiency has been further enhanced by the Delmatic system. Monitoring and testing of emergency lighting is also managed through the Delmatic DALI system.
Multisensors within all areas optimise efficiency by turning lighting off in unoccupied spaces and daylight linking which reduces illumination where sufficient natural daylight is available. Classrooms are provided with local user override via pushbutton switches or scene set switches which include control of window blinds and solar shading.
The new Faculty building creates a fresh approach to organising spaces so that they support new ways of learning and create a ‘community of learners’. Key criteria for the lighting and controls were to combine energy efficiency with a convenient and pleasant working environment for students and staff alike, and Delmatic worked closely with the design team to deliver an optimum solution based on our project experience within the education sector.
The system is totally flexible and versatile to suit the evolving requirements of the user as well as the differing scenarios for the purposes of security, maintenance, cleaning and normal occupancy. The system provides substantial energy savings, achieves longer lamp life as a result of the shorter burning times and, in turn, reduces maintenance costs and disposal costs with financial and sustainability benefits.
