Compare DALI, Casambi and sensor-ready luminaire options for commercial lighting. The driver, control signal, wiring and commissioning requirements differ between systems. Lumenloop supplies selected ranges with compatible control gear; confirm the exact luminaire configuration and any external hardware. Compare driver lifetime and maintenance costs alongside the control requirements.
Compare control-ready luminaires by fitting type, dimming method and emergency requirement.
Control method, driver type and emergency requirement determine the compatible luminaires below. For ceiling grids, compare DALI LED panels; for recessed fittings, compare DALI downlights.
Capsule is an integrated-driver LED track spotlight with the driver housed within the fitting, keeping the installation self-contained while delivering outputs of up to 4,675 lumens.
Flow is a UK-made recessed LG7 linear luminaire for low-glare recessed lighting for offices, schools, and retail. Available in three lengths with tunable outputs, it supports LG7 compliance, DALI dimming (/+ECO), and emergency conversion (/EMI).
Line is a modular continuous linear LED system for commercial interiors, combining Tridonic technology with a modular design for offices, schools, and industrial environments.
Lumenloop HighRack is an industrial LED high bay light for warehouse aisles, high-rack storage and large halls. Philips LED and driver technology, 34° or 92° optics, EasyAir sensor options and surface, suspended or BESA mounting support demanding industrial projects.
Edge-Lite is a edge-lit UGR19 600x600 LED panel with UGR<19 performance, Philips LED technology and uniform low-glare illumination for education and commercial interiors.
Luminate is a direct indirect LED panel with a microprism diffuser, LG7-focused low-glare versions, Touch+DALI, Casambi and emergency options, with tunable white available as a custom configuration.
Halo is a thin-bezel IP54 LED downlight with luminaire efficacy up to 104 lumens per watt.
Frame is an adjustable framelight downlight for architectural and commercial lighting applications where precise light control, low glare, and high performance are essential. Equipped with a Tridonic LED module and driver system, the Frame ensures long-lasting efficiency and reliability.

A lighting management system may combine dimming, occupancy sensing, daylight response and manual override. The luminaire schedule needs the compatible driver and control option for each zone, with emergency control gear identified separately.
Record the exact driver choice with each luminaire reference. Luminate panel options separate non-dimmable, Touch+DALI and Casambi, while Path's /ECO control option supports SwitchDIM, DALI or DSI. Check model-dependent options rather than extending one range's compatibility to another.
Record group assignments, sensor behaviour and manual overrides alongside the driver choice. Window-side desks, deeper desk areas and meeting rooms may need different settings.
Specify emergency conversion, indicator location and manual, self-test or DALI emergency testing separately from normal dimming. A normal DALI driver does not establish DALI emergency capability; check the product's dedicated emergency option and supply requirements.
Send existing driver labels, the control equipment reference and available mains or control wiring. Identify retained devices, new devices and responsibility for installation, addressing, scenes and handover. Luminaire pricing should make the included gear and any separate items clear.
A warehouse sensor strategy is not the same as a hotel dimming scene or an office daylight-control requirement. Each application needs luminaires with the appropriate driver and control options.
Office Separate office daylight, occupancy and meeting-room control groups. Review the office zoning example.
Warehouse Sensor-led and high-output options where mounting height, occupancy and long operating hours shape the control strategy.
Hospitality Dimming and scene-control options where atmosphere, guest comfort and emergency provision need coordination.
Retrofit Retained mains wiring may suit fixed output or compatible phase dimming. DALI needs a suitable bus; SwitchDIM and 1–10V need their own control connections. Casambi can reduce new control cabling, but power, coverage and setup still require checking.
Lighting controls / Office fit-out & refurbishment
Window-side desks, interior workstations and meeting rooms do not always need the same lighting response. Separate control groups allow the lighting to respond to how each area is used.
All three areas are occupied. Each remains a separate control group.
With suitable daylight sensing and dimming control, this group can reduce its electric light contribution as daylight increases.
Keep the deeper office area in its own control group. A change at the windows should not automatically dim every workstation.
A separate occupancy zone allows an unused room to switch off after its configured delay, while occupied desk areas remain lit.
Specify the complete arrangement
DALI and Casambi options depend on the selected luminaire and control gear. Sensors, user controls, group assignments and commissioning requirements need to be coordinated with the project.
For an office refurbishment, include any existing controls or wiring that must be retained. Emergency lighting and its testing arrangements should be identified separately.
Discuss controls for an office project
DALI, DSI and SwitchDIM Control gear can be considered with the luminaire range, lighting system and final model code.
Casambi options Wireless control options can be considered where the project requirement supports them, particularly where new light control wiring is limited.
Sensor strategy Occupancy, daylight and natural light assumptions can influence product selection, spacing, energy savings and switching behaviour.
Emergency review Emergency conversion and control requirements should be coordinated before quote stage.
Yes. Lumenloop can provide non-dim fixed-output, DALI, SwitchDIM, phase dimmable, mains dimming, Casambi Bluetooth and sensor-ready options for selected luminaire ranges, with each light control method matched to compatible control gear.
DALI is usually considered when a commercial scheme needs addressable control, grouped areas, commissioning, monitoring context or a clearer specification approach for offices, education, hospitality and larger refurbishments. Its two-way communication is useful where feedback from the control line matters.
DSI suits simpler digital dimming projects where one-way control is enough and the luminaire range supports it. It is often considered alongside DALI and SwitchDIM when the project needs a straightforward control choice.
Casambi can be useful where wireless grouping, scene setting or retrofit flexibility helps the project. The luminaire range, driver option and control requirement still need to be checked as part of the control-ready product selection.
No. Phase dimming uses compatible mains dimming hardware, while DALI is a digital control protocol. Wiring, room type, driver compatibility and the required level of control determine the correct method.
Include the preferred control method, room types, zones, operating hours, sensor requirements, energy consumption priorities, emergency requirements and any product ranges already under review. Wider project enquiries can go through project enquiry.
The options depend on the retained luminaires, drivers, wiring and control system. Identify what must stay and where the room layout or operating pattern will change before selecting the replacement fittings and controls.
A DALI driver receives control commands; it does not by itself supply an occupancy sensor, daylight sensor or complete control system. Define the required sensors, controller, power supply, wiring and commissioning separately. Casambi and other control arrangements require their own compatible hardware and should not be treated as interchangeable driver upgrades.
Send quantities, room zones, the preferred driver arrangement and any retained wiring or controls. Include emergency testing separately and identify the switches, sensors or system equipment already specified so the quotation can state the fitting configuration and supply scope.
Fixed output, phase dimming, SwitchDIM, DSI, DALI, Casambi or a retained analogue system.
Room types, operating hours, daylight, occupancy and switching expectation.
Product references and quantities, emergency method, retained equipment and any separate devices required.
Use the lighting energy savings calculator to compare the installed load and operating pattern. Use an evidenced controls allowance and avoid counting the same reduction twice.
