Commercial Dimming FAQ: DALI, 0–10V, and DMX
FAQ on dimming commercial linear lighting — protocols, panel inrush, scene control, and driver selection for malls and offices.
Commercial Dimming FAQ
**Quick Answer:** Commercial projects use DALI or 0–10V for white coves and circulation, and DMX (or DMX512) for color facades and event scenes. Drivers must match protocol, support required dim curves, and be grouped to manage inrush on large panels.
Q: Can one panel serve mall atrium and facade RGB?
Often separate systems — coordinate schedules but separate power and control.
Q: Minimum dim for energy codes?
Verify 10% or 1% light level without flicker — include in sample approval.
Q: BACnet integration?
Via lighting gateway — specify integrator scope separately from strip OEM.
Specification Notes
Document CCT, IP rating, dimming protocol, driver access, and as-built requirements in the RFQ before sample approval.
Conclusion
Protocol is a contract item — list on strip RFQ at concept design.
