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.
We were the first company to introduce DALI Zero Power which optimises energy efficiency by eliminating the standby power consumption associated with digital ballasts.
Delmatic pioneered DALI Zero Power which eliminates standby power consumption by smartly managing the mains power to the DALI fittings, resulting in substantially increased energy savings.
DALI technology uses digital signalling to instruct lamps to turn off instead of a using relay to switch off the power to the lamp. However, the lamp driver or ballast continues to draw energy even when the lamps are “off”, and this standby or parasitic load can have major implications especially in low-energy projects.
Delmatic’s DALI Zero Power (ZP) feature monitors the state of the DALI lamps and smartly turns off the mains power to areas where lights are digitally off. This eliminates the wasteful standby power consumption and achieves enhanced energy savings.
Appropriately, the DALI Zero Power feature was first implemented at the Masdar Institute, located at the heart of Abu Dhabi’s Masdar Zero Carbon eco-city. The project is powered entirely by renewable energy generated from PV panels, so every watt of power is considered and regulated. The parasitic load of the digital ballasts was, clearly, an unacceptable waste, so Delmatic’s DALI Zero Power feature smartly manages the power to fittings resulting in substantial energy savings.
