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.
As the earth rotates around the sun, light levels and colour change from cool blue daylight to a warmer light as dusk falls. These changes in the quality and quantity of light stimulate circadian rhythms and regulate hormones linked to alertness and relaxation.
Delmatic Biodynamic controls can be configured to mimic the rhythms of natural light (resulting in an improvement in performance and the well-being of individuals) or can be assigned to defined zones such as working areas, relaxation areas, meeting rooms etc, so that lighting intensity and colour relates to the activities within an area.
Most people agree that sunlight brightens their home, their workplace and their life, and yet, for a long time, it was thought that light was needed purely for seeing. Only recently have we discovered that the quality of light regulates our body clocks and rhythms.
These natural changes in the quality and quantity of light stimulate circadian rhythms and regulate hormones linked to alertness (cortisol) and relaxation (melatonin). Cool white light with a blue tinge activates our senses and has a positive influence on concentration while comforting warm white encourages relaxation and assists regeneration. The same biological effects can be recreated in interior environments using biodynamic lighting controls.
Delmatic’s biodynamic controls subtly adjust light intensity and colour to replicate the dynamic variation of daylight and transitioning from blue morning skies through to the glow of sunset.
Delmatic systems offer a variety of Biodynamic and White-tuning (tuneable white) solutions including cross-fade DALI driver control as well as DALI device type 8 single tuneable white drivers.
Lighting controls can enhance energy efficiency by 40% .. 50% .. 60%, yet, if you can enhance the productivity of people by just one percent, think how much that would be worth.

Open protocols are at the heart of today’s connected world. They give you choice, economy and efficiency, ensure multiple sources of supply and support, enable sharing of hardware and real time data, and reduce capital and operational costs.
Connected systems enable building services to connect and interact using a common language across a shared platform, respond in real time to occupants’ needs and occupancy patterns, and be centrally managed and monitored through a single graphical interface.
