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 connected systems create virtual maps of a building with up-to-the-second information on areas in use. This unique real-time knowledge of occupancy and daylight levels throughout a building is shared with other connected services so that not just lighting, but also heating, cooling, small power and other energy consuming services are all linked to occupancy and daylight.
In an unconnected building, if someone leaves their office at lunchtime to go to a meeting, the traditional presence detector turns off lighting but the heating and cooling and everything else stays on all afternoon and evening – and maybe even half the night.
When someone leaves an office in a connected building, the sensor tells the lights to dim gently off, sets the heating or cooling to a wider temperature band, tells the fan to slow down or stop, and closes the blinds to either conserve heat or keep out heat.
Multiply the energy savings from this one office across all the empty areas on one floor and then across all floors of a building and you can see that pretty soon you are making really big savings compared to an unconnected building.
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.
Our latest DALI-2 Solar response systems optimise building efficiency and occupant comfort by combining control of lighting and solar shading.
