*Each device gives itself a random number to identify itself, which makes initial installation and replacing faulty devices confusing as there is no indication which device is which, until the operator sends out test signals and looks to see which device responds. *Being restricted to 64 addresses (six [[bit]]s), DALI cannot be used in large installations without using another technology to [[workaround]] the limitation.
*It's slow communication speed (1200 [[baud]]) can mean a visable delay in large installations with a lot happening.
*It's eeprom that it stores it's presets in can only be rewritten 100 times
*There are few affordable portable test tools for it.
