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 systems provide secure scene-setting control and monitoring across the nine mass-transit stations as well as the eighteen depots and the network viaducts.

Delmatic systems provide intelligent, secure and energy-efficient control of lighting within front-of-house, back-of-house and external areas across the Metro network as well as within the nine stations: each station is 300 metres long and each of the two 9,900 m² platforms holds up to 3,000 passengers with wide ramps to ease pedestrian flows in and out of the stations.
Lighting is configured into a variety of scenarios activated from the station control panel as well as via open protocol integration with the BMS: the system also includes lighting modes based upon Hajj or non-Hajj periods and a range of daily operational and maintenance modes.
Delmatic worked closely with the design team from an early stage to develop the system application and integration and to ensure reliable and robust operation on a project with zero tolerance for defects. Quality & reliability of the highest order were crucial to this major public infrastructure system and Delmatic’s track record over many years was instrumental in its selection for the project.
The Metro transports pilgrims to the holy sites of Mina, Muzdalifah and Mount Arafat – three stops during a journey that traces the steps of the Prophet Muhammad and Abraham. The four-day annual Hajj pilgrimage draws around 2.5 million worshippers and the Metro replaces around 50,000 buses reducing pollution as well as congestion. The lime green Metro cars speed along elevated lines, passing over the white tents where hundreds of thousands of pilgrims spend the night on the way to the major holy sites.
