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.
A Delmatic DALI system manages lighting throughout the complex and shares sensor data to optimise efficiency through occupancy-related lighting and HVAC control

The new Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge Is one of the most prestigious multidisciplinary laboratory and research centres in the world, and is the birthplace of modern molecular biology. Many techniques have been pioneered at the laboratory including DNA sequencing, and scientists working at the LMB have won nine Nobel prizes, dozens of Royal Society awards and numerous other scientific honours leading to the centre being described as Britain’s factory for Nobel prizes.
The building optimises energy efficiency through a number of means including renewable energy, heat recovery wheels to exchange energy between outgoing and incoming air, blinds that minimise heat build-up, and an intelligent Delmatic system that reduces light intensity when daylight is available and also controls lighting and HVAC according to occupancy.
The Delmatic DALI system controls and manages lighting throughout the building, providing individual DALI addressable switching, dimming and monitoring of every luminaire as well as individual testing and monitoring of DALI emergency fittings.
The high level of addressability within the system enabled designers to establish control parameters that best suit the design and usage of each area including illuminance levels to suit activities within specific areas: powerful user control empowers occupants with control of lighting scenes and levels. The result is a highly flexible solution that is easily adjusted as functions or requirements change within the building.
DALI presence detectors and multisensors within office, support and write up areas provide absence detection and daylight linking to maximise energy efficiency. To optimise energy efficiency, the Delmatic sensors pass on occupancy information for each area to the BMS so that heating/cooling also links to occupancy and is only used where required.
The system provides extensive real time monitoring of the installation including individual lamp failure, ballast failure and emergency monitoring failure of every luminaire including lighting in plant areas and basement link tunnels.
The modular Delmatic hardware with full distributed-intelligence functionality coupled with the plug-in connectivity proved beneficial for the initial installation and will assist in rapid plug-and-play maintenance which is critical in a world-class laboratory environment.
