“As commercial buildings transition into smart, connected environments, clients are increasingly demanding lighting control systems that are data-rich, reliable, and easily scalable. While digital protocols are the clear future, the North American market has often hesitated to move away from familiar 0-10V analog systems due to fears of proprietary vendor lock-in or overly complex programming. By adding the globally standardized DALI-2 protocol to the WaveLinx ecosystem, Cooper Lighting Solutions has eliminated these barriers.”

The DALI Alliance recently extended DALI-2, which standardizes interoperability and control of LED drivers and sensors, with a version that more finely addresses the needs of the Internet of Things, which calls for individual device addressability, connectivity, and two-way data exchange.

Luminaire-level lighting controls (LLLC), also called embedded controls, are lighting control systems in which sensors and controllers are installed within luminaires to enable autonomous, individual luminaire control. By making each luminaire a control point, control is highly flexible, responsive, and therefore generally more energy-saving. Serving as a preview for an upcoming Education Express course, this article describes LLLC technology, system types, advantages and disadvantages, studies characterizing energy savings and cost, and what’s familiar and distinctive in regards to design and installation.
