Is Dali dead?

Will the Dali protocol survive in the age of the ‘internet of things?’ Lux asked five experts to debate the future of the protocol. From left: Tad Trylski, Wayne Howell, Sam Woodward, David Mooney and Andrew Glossop Calm down everybody, Dali is not dead yet. That was the consensus in a discussion on the future of the lighting control protocol at   Lux 's Smart Lighting Controls Europe 2015 conference. Dali continues to evolve, resolve its issues and respond to the needs of the lighting industry. But even so, its fate could end up being decided by forces much bigger than the lighting industry itself, and the user could be worse off, according to one expert. ‘The IT industry will take over and make the decisions for us. They’ll make protocol changes, they’ll adopt standards and we will have to live with what they want because their market is bigger than ours,’ said David Mooney, an associate at Atkins who took part in a panel discussion on Dali.

LED GU10 Lamps Illuminate Your Space

By -
Tired of paying the high electricity bills caused by your energy guzzling incandescent, CFL, and halogen light bulbs? Well, now you can downsize your power consumption by using LED GU10 Lamps, which are a much more energy efficient lighting option. These lamps outperform traditional light bulbs as they do not waste all of their lighting energy in excess heat. Nearly all of the energy input into LED GU10 Bulbs is used in producing light output because of the superior semiconductor-based lighting technology. LED GU10 Lamps are known for their amazing lifespan and durability. Once these lamps are installed, they will keep on emitting the same brightness for around 40,000 hours, unlike traditional bulbs that will need to be changed after just 700 hours or so. LED GU10 lamps are therefore a good option for those places which require illumination 24/7, for example, hospitals or hotel reception areas. Novel Energy Lighting supplies top quality LED Lamps from some of the leadi...
