Why DALI Makes Sense for Outdoor Lighting Control
Tuesday September 15, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm CDT
TBA
The scale of outdoor lighting offers bigger challenges for controls selection and operation. Installation costs, encompassing wiring and labor, can be prohibitive. Post-installation adjustments can require burdensome additional efforts.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was some control solution that bypassed these challenges yet offered superior control capabilities and ease of installation? Enter DALI! By using this open standard, project professionals can unlock a range of benefits including:
• Multi-vendor compatibility for luminaires, drivers, sensors, and controllers without being locked in to a single vendor’s solution
• Design flexibility and future proofing with individual addressability, ease of grouping or regrouping
• Flexible design and future-proofing
• Reduced operating costs with predictive maintenance reports on failing components
• Centralized remote monitoring with fault detection and integration into other building management systems

This session delves into the use of DALI standards for designing outdoor control projects like parking garages and other site lighting applications. The panelists explore common misconceptions, best design and installation practices, and lessons learned from real-world projects.
