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.
An advanced DALI lighting management and emergency monitoring system is installed throughout the project.

The research facility combines two departments with outstanding reputations in the fields of chemistry, physics, mathematics, clinical medicine and biology. A Delmatic DALI system manages and monitors lighting within the two buildings – the Laboratory Building and Researchers House – as well as providing comprehensive DALI testing and monitoring of emergency lighting.
Lighting is controlled by multisensors which optimise energy efficiency by turning lighting off in unoccupied spaces and through daylight linking which reduces illumination where sufficient natural daylight is available: the majority of areas are also provided with local user override via pushbutton switches or scene set switches enabling absence detection to be implemented and allow users to adjust lighting levels to suit preferences or tasks.
The system uses pure DALI operation so the DALI luminaires, DALI presence detectors and multisensors, DALI switches and DALI relays (controlling task lighting in the library) all connect to a common DALI buswire cable.
The system includes scene-setting within the lecture theatres enabling selection of programmed lighting scenes and allowing illumination levels to be raised or lowered to suit the function of the room. The complete system is managed and monitored through graphical head-end software while testing and monitoring of emergency lighting is also managed through the Delmatic DALI modules.
