''' Digitally Adressable Lighting interface ''' (''' DALI ''') is digital protocol for the controlling of lighting in buildings (e.g. [[Ballast (electrical)]], [[Dimmer]], etc.). Each operating equipment, which has an DALI interface, can be communicated with over DALI individually. By a bi-directional data exchange a DALI controller can query and set the status of each light. DALI can be operated as “stand alone system” with maximum of 64 devices or be a subsystem via DALI gateways in modern [[building automation]] system. DALI was established as a successor for the still market dominating [[1-10v]] and [[Open standard]] rival to [[DSI|Digital Signal Interface|DSI]]. DALI is standardized in accordance with [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] 60929, standard for fluorescent lamp ballasts.
