John Woodnutt, entrepreneur and inventor of electronic lighting control technology, has been awarded an MBE for services to Business and Entrepreneurship in the 2023 New Year Honours list. John pioneered lighting controls in the late 1950s and the Honour recognises his unique innovations in lighting controls and his six decades of commitment to creating smart, sustainable building solutions.
Delmatic’s smart lighting solutions seamlessly mesh wireless, wired and mixed-mode controls across physical or cloud networks, continuously monitoring, analysing and optimising lighting and sharing real-time intelligence to optimise building performance.
DALI-2 is the global standard for digital dimming, enabling devices from different manufacturers to be seamlessly integrated into interoperable networks.
We offer a wide range of DALI-2 products that can be integrated with other open protocol systems such as LON and BACnet.
Delmatic systems provide advanced scene-setting control and monitoring of normal and emergency lighting.

The Delmatic system provides energy-efficient, fully-flexible addressable control of front-of-house and back-of-house normal and emergency lighting as well as controlling decorative concourse and façade lighting.
Lighting is configured into a variety of modes or scenes which are activated automatically at scheduled times, via a solar controller or by photocell sensors, while the complete system is managed and monitored across the IP network using animated graphical software.
The lighting controls play a vital role in the design of the lighting as well as the energy efficiency and sustainability of the installed systems. The daylight monitoring and control is complex as sunlight enters the concourse at different angles at different times of day with variation throughout the year and it is essential that the installation maintains the design illuminance levels for public safety. To ensure this Delmatic’s network of external solar controllers and internal sensors within the concourse continuously monitor light levels and orientation and adjust lighting in real time to suit daylight levels.
The system includes comprehensive integration with the central battery system, and custom emergency modules and software were developed to accommodate the start-up delays of discharge lighting following an emergency condition.
The innovative new Western Concourse tripled the size of the station, introducing shops, cafés and restaurants, and has become the ‘beating heart’ of this multi-modal transport hub integrating access to the Underground, Thameslink station and St Pancras International station.
Delmatic were involved from the earliest stages of the project and worked to develop both the system application and integration with the station networks. Quality & reliability of the highest order were crucial to this major public infrastructure system and Delmatic’s track record in providing controls for major transportation hubs was instrumental in selection for this project.
