Simple installation
Thinking in terms of electric circuits is a thing of the past as now all that is necessary is for all luminaires to be supplied with current. Centrally installed dimmers or large, expensive switch cabinets are now superfluous as the dimming functions are now integrated within the DALI control gear. A simple two-core control line connects the DALI-compatible luminaires with each other.

Automatic recognition of ERCO Light Clients
The Light System DALI offers a genuine "plug and play" connectivity: every single ERCO Light Client is supplied by the factory with a unique code pre-programmed in its DALI chip. This code allows the Light Server to automatically recognise the type and function of each Light Client as soon as the system is activated. ERCO Varychrome luminaires too are automatically recognised in this way; their addresses are combined into one Light Client so that they can be operated intuitively. In the Light Studio software, the codes are linked with the product information and displayed in a simple and straight-forward format. The creation of light scenes can then begin immediately.

Attributes
The Light Clients in a Light System DALI installation are automatically recorded complete with details of their photometric properties. Symbols indicate the attributes of a particular Light Client, e.g. "Dimmable monochrome" for metal halide lamps or "Varychrome" for luminaires that can produce infinitely adjustable colours of light using RGB colour mixing technology.

DALI track - the "new" is the "old".
Instead of introducing an additional and different track profile for DALI-compatible spotlights, the system of ERCO DALI track and DALI spotlights simply uses the well-established and reliable, five-conductor ERCO track profile in a new way. The current is now carried on just one conductor, instead of three conductors, this allows the other two conductors to be used for the control signal. A special DALI adapter is used to connect the Light Client to the track. Last but not least, this means that it is possible and simple to upgrade existing track installations to ERCO DALI technology.

Light Clients with luminaire ID
When the view is unrestricted, the mounting locations of Light Clients are identified simply by using the "flash" option in the Light Studio software. However, this is not always possible for larger Light System DALI networks. Consequently, every Light Client now carries an additional sticker with a unique luminaire ID. This individual luminaire ID allows each Light Client to be identified during commissioning and in the lighting control software. The sticker can be removed by the installer and transferred to the appropriate place on the reflected ceiling plan drawing to show the mounting location of each Light Client.
