Lighting Controls

Commercial lighting controls for DALI, Casambi and sensor-ready luminaires.

Commercial lighting control systems need compatible luminaires and drivers. Lumenloop offers selected ranges with DALI, Casambi, dimming and sensor-ready configurations. The control protocol, wiring, zones and external hardware requirements determine the suitable luminaire option.

Controls Before Product Selection

Luminaire options for commercial lighting control systems.

Lumenloop sets the controls requirement with the luminaire range so the final schedule is straightforward to specify and coordinate.

Non-dim

Fixed-output switching

For straightforward switched circuits where the project needs efficient commercial lighting without dimming control gear or a networked lighting control system.

DALI

DALI, DSI and SwitchDIM control

DALI supports addressable lighting, groups and two-way communication. DSI provides one-way digital dimming, while SwitchDIM uses push-button control with compatible drivers. These methods have different wiring and commissioning requirements.

Phase

Phase dimmable and mains dimming

For compatible ranges where leading or trailing-edge dimming is the practical option for a room, retrofit or smaller scheme.

Casambi

Casambi Bluetooth wireless control

For projects where wireless grouping, smart lighting scenes or retrofit flexibility is useful and the luminaire range can support it.

Sensors

Occupancy and daylight-ready products

Occupancy sensors respond to presence; daylight control adjusts lighting in response to available natural light. Suitable sensors and drivers allow the control system to reduce unnecessary lighting, with zones, settings and compatibility defined for the space.

Emergency

DALI emergency control and testing

DALI emergency uses dedicated emergency control gear, addressing and reporting arrangements. It remains separate from normal DALI dimming and is covered in the DALI emergency lighting guide.

How this affects product selection

The same product range can suit different control setups across a project, so switching, dimming and emergency choices are confirmed before references are fixed.

5 core product families.

Linear

Flow UK-made recessed LG7 linear luminaire

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).

Linear

HighRack industrial LED high bay light

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.

Panels

Luminate direct indirect LED panel

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.

Downlights

Frame adjustable framelight downlight

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.

Lighting Controls Specification

Control gear is specified with each commercial luminaire.

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.

Protocol
DALI, Casambi or fixed output
Zoning
Rooms, scenes and operating profile

Building use determines zones, daylight response, occupancy sensing and manual override.

Emergency
Controls and emergency together

Emergency conversion can affect the product information and should be coordinated with controls before order stage.

Support
Specification and fitting reference review

Control requirements should be reviewed as part of the product schedule so the final luminaire references match the project requirement.

Control Strategy

Control systems by application.

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

DALI, Casambi and sensor options for workspaces where zones, meeting rooms and operating hours differ.

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

Control gear and driver options where existing wiring, fittings and maintenance constraints are central.

Control Gear Evidence

Specification proof for control-ready commercial luminaires.

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.

Controls FAQ

Lighting controls questions.

Do Lumenloop luminaires support non-dim and dimmable controls?

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.

When should a project use DALI lighting controls?

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.

What is DSI lighting control used for?

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.

Can Casambi Bluetooth controls work for retrofit projects?

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.

Is phase dimming the same as DALI?

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.

What should be included in a lighting controls enquiry?

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.
