DALI Lighting Controls

DALI Lighting Controls

Electrical installation, alteration and fault diagnosis for commercial DALI lighting-control infrastructure.

ElectroLogic supports the physical electrical and control layer: DALI bus wiring, devices, luminaires, interfaces, supplies and testing. Lighting design, scene programming, unrestricted system configuration, manufacturer-specific commissioning and formal commissioning authority remain with the appropriate specialist.

Addressable lighting infrastructure

A DALI lighting fault may be in the device, bus or electrical path.

Addressable lighting systems depend on reliable power, correctly installed DALI control wiring, compatible devices and maintainable connections. A failed response can originate at the luminaire, control device, bus circuit, interface, supply or connected electrical installation.

ElectroLogic provides practical electrical support around DALI lighting infrastructure, including installation, device replacement, alterations and systematic fault investigation.

Prove the electrical and bus path before assuming a programming fault.

Technical capabilities

Electrical support for practical DALI lighting infrastructure.

DALI bus wiring

Installation, tracing, repair and alteration of DALI control cabling.

Luminaires and drivers

Electrical connection, like-for-like replacement support and fault investigation for DALI luminaires and drivers, with configuration coordinated where required.

Control devices

Electrical installation and replacement support for DALI switches, sensors, interfaces and control devices.

Power supplies & protection

Circuit supplies, protective devices, local isolation and associated electrical checks.

DALI interfaces

Agreed physical interfaces with lighting controls, BMS or other connected building systems.

Sensors & occupancy devices

Wiring and electrical verification for connected occupancy, daylight and other relevant field devices.

Lighting circuit alterations

Agreed changes to luminaires, wiring, controls and connected electrical infrastructure.

Device identification & addressing support

Physical device identification and agreed addressing support using suitable DALI tools, with wider programming and system configuration coordinated with the appropriate lighting-controls specialist.

Bus and device fault diagnosis

Systematic checks of DALI bus condition, voltage, termination, wiring integrity, device connection and expected response.

Unidentified wiring & labelling

Tracing, identification and practical labelling of relevant lighting-control wiring.

Functional testing

Controlled checks of completed electrical work, device response and agreed lighting operation.

Specialist coordination

Clear findings for lighting-controls providers where configuration, programming or commissioning authority is required.

DALI fault diagnosis

Find where the intended lighting response stops.

Diagnosis follows the physical path from circuit supply and control device through the bus wiring, interface, luminaire or driver, and the expected response. Checks are planned around the relevant electrical and DALI infrastructure without testing through connected DALI equipment.

Establish the electrical and bus condition before changing configuration.

DALI bus voltage or wiring condition
Loose or damaged termination
Control device or interface condition
Luminaire or driver connection
Sensor or switch condition
Unidentified wiring
Addressing or configuration condition requiring specialist support
Lighting design or commissioning requirement outside the agreed electrical scope
  1. 1

    Supply & protection

    Verify the relevant circuit supply, isolation and protective condition.

  2. 2

    DALI bus & termination

    Check bus condition, voltage, cable routing and accessible terminations.

  3. 3

    Control device or interface

    Confirm the physical control device, sensor or interface connection is present and sound.

  4. 4
