Crestron DALI Fluorescent Ballasts

Why expand into ballasts and drivers?

 Fluorescent ballasts and LED drivers are no longer
a commodity “transformer”; they’re now an essential
part of the control system
» Not including the ballast and driver as part of the system
results in:
• Additional start-up expense
» Who commissions the ballasts?
• More difficulty in support and maintenance
» Where is the information to maintain a system?
• Missing out on advantages of a fully integrated solution
» Wasted energy and increased downtime

DALI – the simple, versatile digital lighting solution

 DALI = Digital Addressable Lighting Interface
 DALI is an international standard created specifically for digital lighting
control
 DALI provides a single interface for all electronically controlled light
sources in an easy-to-install and versatile system
 DALI provides design flexibility and easy installation
 DALI provides virtually unlimited scalability of lighting control systems
 DALI is cost-effective, delivering energy savings and simple
management
 Created by Europe’s leading lighting manufacturers; firmly established
all over the world

Benefits of DALI
 Lower initial cost for the owner
» Simple wiring
 Higher level of maintenance for the facility manager
» Status of lamp and ballast
 Greater flexibility for the lighting designer
» Change grouping via software
 Lower energy costs for the user
» Reduced power consumption
 Greater sense of control for the occupant
» Individual control

What is DALI ?

 DALI is not a product
 DALI is a protocol, a set of rules defined from the
ballast perspective
» Power connection
» Lamp response
» Control interface
» Command set

More Crestron GLB-DALI Ballast Product Details
 Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)
The DALI standard allows multiple ballasts to be daisy chained using low-voltage wiring for
power on/off and dimming control. Up to 64 ballasts can exist on a single DALI channel,
each operating independently. DALI lighting is optimal for applications that require granular
control of each fixture, such as open office floor plans and daylight harvesting in classrooms.

 Built-in power metering
Optional power metering tracks real time energy usage of each load, thereby delivering
statistics to help control energy costs. By analyzing real data, organizations can make
educated decisions regarding energy resources, which will have greater impact on the
bottom line.

 Protection
GLB-DALI ballasts feature End-of-Life Protection, are short and open circuit proof and have
an auto shutdown feature in case of lamp failure. GLB-DALI ballasts feature protected shut
down against main input lower than 80 Volts AC and auto recovery starting from 95 Volts AC.
GLB-DALI ballasts also feature warm start in every dimming position and overload
protection.
