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. DALI is standardized in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission 60929, standard for fluorescent lamp ballasts.
