DALI compatible LED driver and LED strip.

[Sid]

Good evening all,

I have a job to do fitting multiple sections of dimmable LED strip to be controlled by a DALI lighting system.
Can anyone recommend LED drivers and strip that are DALI compatible?

I would be grateful for any guidance/assistance.

Thank you

I would say number one make sure the control gear and LED lighting/strips are compatible with each other and DALI systems prior to purchase. I cannot stress this enough! I have had massive problems with DALI getting any endorsement for any control gear or LED lighting before. Can I ask what kind of system you are adding LED to? Usually DALI systems are large and expensive control systems used in large places is that the case here?

An example of a dali driver for 24V .

Have found Tridonic nearly always have a solution. Have not personally used this driver as all the ones i have used so far have been constant current.

So, choose 24V strip, choose the wattage for driver, dim away......

BTW , these are single colour.

For RGBW i used a tridonic CV driver through a KNX 4 chn controller.

P&S

Yes, I believe it is going into an existing DALI system in a hotel. 30 mirrors each with 2 x 2m warm white dimmable led strip to the vertical edges of the mirrors.
We are fitting the strip and drivers off site with plug and play mains lead for on site electricians to connect
