Efficient and future-proof light control. ESY!
DALI-2 and DALI lighting control with ESYLUX presence detectors

DALI-2 takes you to the future

If you're looking to install an intelligent light control system in offices, educational institutions and healthcare facilities, then there is no better option than the international DALI industry standard. Its flexibility enables quality of life to be significantly improved in all buildings – and the energy efficiency of buildings to be optimised for the future. 

Intelligent functions

ESYLUX offers not only premium sensor technology for this purpose, but also an expandable system with a range of intelligent control functions. For example:

  • Energy-efficient Human Centric Lighting
  • Presence- and daylight-dependent constant light control
  • Flexible switching of groups
  • Swarm function
  • Control based on the day of the week and the time of day

Simple implementation

The best thing about the DALI-2 solution from ESYLUX is how easy it is to implement. Whether through easy cabling with DALI, immediate commissioning of the system in broadcast mode or the helpful setup assistant in the ESY-App – you can bring all buildings up to date in no time!

Cross-room control with DALI-2 Up to 64 control gears and 16 lighting groups with only one control unit

Control up to 16 lighting groups

The DALI-2 control unit (Application Controller, APC) from ESYLUX is integrated into an APC presence detector or into an APC DIN rail module. A single control unit provides cross-room control of up to 64 control gears across up to 16 lighting groups – the largest possible number within a DALI-2 line.

For individual control in all areas, BMS (Building Management System) presence detectors and push buttons provide information from their zones, e.g. regarding presence and brightness.

Functional advantage for every zone

From open-plan offices to classrooms and patient rooms: All users in any building type and area can benefit from light control that is tailored to meet the requirements of the given area.

The configuration levels of the control unit offer a comprehensive range of functions for this purpose, which ensures convenience through automation – while also improving the energy efficiency of the building beyond just the lighting.

Detailed information on all functions can be found in our system brochure: >>

COMPACT APC presence detector

  • Integrated DALI control unit (Application Controller) and DALI bus power supply (250 mA)
  • Passive infrared sensors for presence detection and light sensor technology
  • Integrated switching output for HVAC systems or additional lighting (16 A relay, floating)
  • Fast installation in suspended ceilings using a standard drill bit with no additional accessories (Ø 68 mm)
  • Detection ranges of Ø 8, 24 and 32 m
  • Bidirectional communication via integrated Bluetooth module
  • Four inputs for conventional push buttons (non-floating): Any 230 V push buttons already installed can be used, without the need for DALI-2 push buttons!

  • Bidirectional communication via integrated Bluetooth module

BMS presence detectors as input devices

BMS (Building Management System) presence detectors provide the control unit with information from their building areas, thereby forming the basis for individual control of all lighting groups.

Via optional push button input, they also enable convenient override – and, with the design variants of the COMPACT, FLAT and COMPACT MINI series, they offer solutions for a variety of aesthetic requirements.

Compact series

  • Integrated presence and light sensors
  • Two-piece housing for simple installation
  • Two floating inputs for conventional push buttons
  • Detection ranges of Ø 8, 24 or 32 m
  • NEW: Warehouse detector with Ø 40 m

FLAT series

  • Integrated presence and light sensors
  • Flat, elegant design (round or rectangular)
  • One potential-free input for conventional switches
  • Field of detection of Ø 8 m

COMPACT MINI series

  • Integrated presence and light sensors
  • Particularly compact design for unobtrusive operation
  • Field of detection of Ø 8 m

Smart input at all levels

Large-scale office buildings occasionally bank on centrally controlled building management systems from third-party manufacturers, such as Beckhoff, Wago, Sauter and Helvar (router 950).

BMS presence detectors from ESYLUX feature field-proven, high-quality sensor technology, making them a top choice here too, as they reliably supply the control unit with all the necessary information!

Individual override at any time

Non-floating inputs in APC presence detectors and floating inputs in BMS presence detectors enable simple override using a conventional push button. Any push buttons already installed can be used for this purpose!
The alternative: DALI-2 push buttons from ESYLUX that can be labelled individually.

Expanding systems

Repeaters

A single DALI-2 line already covers a large building area. Matching accessories make it possible to easily overcome system limitations. For example, the maximum cable length of a DALI-2 line is 300 m. Repeaters conveniently extend this by up to a further 300 m!

Expanding systems

Expander

DALI-2 provides up to maximum of 64 addresses for control gears. For those who wish to integrate more control gears, an expander can be used: It is assigned its own address and controls all downstream control gears in broadcast mode.

(Expected to be available from Q3 2025)

Expanding systems

Switch actuator

DALI-2 primarily controls the lighting. However, switch actuators enable 230 V devices to also be integrated – allowing the standby consumption of office equipment and DALI-2 drivers to be limited and allowing presence-dependent switching of ventilation systems, for example.

Single-room control with DALI broadcast For energy-efficient room-by-room modernisation

Up to two light channels

The COMPACT, FLAT, COMPACT MINI and FLAT MINI series offer various detectors with a broadcast channel, thereby covering a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the DUO DALI presence detectors from the COMPACT series offer a solution with two light channels.

Application example in a classroom

Due to their two light channels, the DUO DALI detectors present an ideal solution for typical classrooms. This is because classrooms often only have windows on one side – and therefore lend themselves to light control with offset.

Energy-efficient offset

In constant light control concepts for lighting systems with luminaires close to and far away from windows, an offset between the two light channels helps to improve the use of daylight – and increase energy efficiency!

  • Presence and daylight dependent constant light control
  • Control of two lighting systems with offset
  • Integrated bus voltage supply for up to 25 operating devices per light channel
  • Orientation light
  • Up to two additional switching channels with a DALI actuator as an accessory
  • Two push button inputs for manual control
  • Temporary override by remote control
  • Ready for use immediately with factory settings
  • Low energy consumption
  • Presence and daylight dependent constant light control
  • Up to two additional switching channels with a DALI actuator as an accessory
  • Push button inputs for manual control
  • Temporary override by remote control
  • Orientation light
  • Ready for use immediately with factory settings
  • Bus voltage supply as an accessory

The ESY-App:
Project access at all times

The ESY-App not only helps users to easily configure DALI-2 solutions from ESYLUX – it also acts as a personal project library that installers and planners can access at any time. The project report is available as a PDF and can be used to provide technical specifications.

ESY-App: making configuration, mobile management and documentation easy

  • Easily create a project with an individual description
  • Create up to 64 floors, each with up to 64 rooms and up to 64 devices per room
  • Select and configure products with fewer steps
  • Automatically save the project with all settings stored
  • Send project documentation as a PDF file and print it off

Using the ESY-Pen with infrared

DALI-2 control units can be configured directly via the ESY-App.

For automation and lighting solutions without a built-in Bluetooth module (such as DALI broadcast presence detectors), you will also need an ESY-Pen to transfer parameters: This acts as a bridge to the infrared sensors.

ESYLUX indoor lighting for DALI-2 and DALI

In addition to automation components, ESYLUX also offers suitable luminaires for a wide range of applications. For example, the CELINE-2 and SVENJA series include Tunable White variants for energy-efficient Human Centric Lighting – and the moisture-proof lights from the OLIVIA-2 series include variants with an integrated BMS motion detector!
