DALI Office Lighting

Addressable DALI-2 control is the difference between an office that merely passes Part L and one that measurably cuts energy year after year. Every LUMIBRIGHT workplace family is offered with DALI-2 certified drivers, so daylight-linked dimming, presence detection and scene control run on open, non-proprietary infrastructure.

Designing the Scheme

01

Low-glare light for screen work

Workstation zones use UGR<19 recessed downlights and microprismatic linear profiles holding 500 lux maintained at desk level to CIBSE LG7. High-CRI (90+) options are available where colour-accurate work demands it.

02

Daylight harvesting and presence logic

DALI-2 addressing lets perimeter rows dim independently against daylight sensors while core rows hold target lux — typically the single biggest operational saving in an office relight. Meeting rooms add scene recall for presentation, collaboration and video-call presets.

03

Emergency on the same bus

DALI DT1 self-test emergency variants report battery and lamp status back over the same pair, replacing manual walk-tests with automated logs aligned to BS 5266 and CIBSE LG12.

Frequently Asked

Is DALI-2 different from classic DALI?

DALI-2 (IEC 62386 update) adds certified interoperability, standardised sensors/input devices and better diagnostics. LUMIBRIGHT workplace families ship with DALI-2 certified drivers.

How does DALI lighting help with Part L compliance?

Addressable dimming with daylight and presence control reduces the installed lighting energy (kWh/m²/yr) counted in the Part L model — usually the most cost-effective compliance lever in a fit-out.

Can emergency lighting share the DALI network?

Yes — DT1 self-test emergency drivers run on the same bus and report test results automatically, aligned to BS 5266.

What documentation do specifiers get?

Datasheets per SKU plus DALI addressing schedules, dimmer/gateway compatibility lists and commissioning support through the LUMIBRIGHT Trade Program.
