Question 1

What's the difference between DALI and DALI-2?

Accepted Answer

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) and DALI2 are both communication protocols for intelligent lighting control. DALI is an early standard, mainly used for dimming and simple lighting control, supporting basic device types such as LED driver (control gear), and the corresponding standards are IEC62386-101,102 & part of 207. DALI-2 is an upgrade based on DALI, adding requirements for more device types (such as power supply specifications, data specifications, and control devices specifications), and the standards involved are IEC62386-105, 150, 207, 250, 251, 252, 253, 351, etc.

Question 2

DALI Version 1 or DALI-2?

Accepted Answer

Now when it says DALI LED driver, it normally means it meets the DALI-2 standard because DALI version 1 registration ended April 2022. This is there are no third-party verification for DALI version 1 LED driver. When it comes to control device, it definitely means it meets the DALI-2 standard, because there are not standards refers to control devices were not included in DALI version-1.

Question 3

What are the updates for DALI-2?

Accepted Answer

First, DALI-2 is the first to introduce standardized technology to control devices, such as sensors and other input devices, as well as application controllers.

Second, DALI-2 optimizes the communication mode between application controllers, input devices, and control gear, allowing devices from different manufacturers to work together on the same DALI bus.

At last, it offers DALI-2 certification which is derived from the relevant part of IEC62386. Products that pass the DALI-2 certification test process can obtain the DALI-2 certification trademark.
