Modern office buildings, commercial spaces, and even residential properties are increasingly adopting intelligent lighting systems. This is no surprise: light has long ceased to be just a way to illuminate a room — it is now an integral part of energy efficiency, comfort, and design. One of the most popular standards for lighting control is DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). In this article, we will explore how DALI works and what opportunities the solutions from Sunricher and SkyDance, available in the SVL assortment, open up for your business or project.

What is DALI?

DALI is an international protocol for lighting control that ensures flexibility and scalability. Unlike traditional switches or dimmers, DALI allows you to:

  • Individually control each luminaire or group addressably;
  • Create lighting scenes (work mode, evening ambience, presentation mode, etc.);
  • Reduce energy consumption through automation;
  • Integrate lighting with other "smart home" or BMS (Building Management System) systems.
The DALI protocol supports up to 64 devices in a single network and operates bi-directionally — luminaires not only receive commands but can also send information about their status (for example, brightness level or malfunctions).


Sunricher and SkyDance Solutions

The SVL catalog features advanced DALI control devices from Sunricher and SkyDance. These brands are well-known in the professional lighting market for their reliability, functionality, and ease of integration.

Key Product Categories:

  1. DALI Dimmers and Controllers
    Allow smooth adjustment of the brightness for LED strips, luminaires, and other light sources. You can create anything from soft evening light to bright working illumination.

  2. DALI Gateways and Interfaces
     Ensure the integration of DALI with other protocols (e.g., 0–10V, DMX, or KNX), making the system highly versatile.

  3. Touch Panels and Control Remotes Convenient user interfaces that offer the ability to select scenes, change light intensity, or adjust color temperature with a few taps.

  4. Motion Sensors and Light Sensors (Daylight Sensors)
    Automate lighting: the light is switched on only when needed and with the required intensity.

  5. Color Control Modules (RGB, RGBW, Tunable White)
     Enable the creation of dynamic color scenes, which is particularly relevant for commercial spaces and restaurants.
