...Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is an open communications standard developed by leading manufacturers within the lighting industry and defined under international standard IEC62386. Originally developed for controllable lighting ballasts, the DALI protocol now encompasses a wide range of intelligent lighting technologies including the particular requirements for emergency lighting. DALI provides a simple, reliable and extremely robust means of communication for lighting systems whilst offering maximum flexibility and convenience for system designers, installers and end users.
N-LIGHT & DALI... As a member of the AG DALI working group, Mackwell Electronics has established itself within the DALI community as world leaders in DALI emergency lighting products and this has enabled us to forge relationships with some of the biggest names in the lighting industry. Mackwell is also represented on the technical working group for the DALI standard and this allows us to be at the forefront of new developments and initiatives within AG DALI.

SIMPLE WIRING
No specialised data cable or tools are required for wiring to luminaires. The low data rate and high interference immunity of the DALI specification allows standard mains cable to be used (for example 5-core NYM cable).
MULTIPLE TOPOLOGIES
N-light allows series, star or mixed connection topologies to be used for maximum flexibility in system design and installation. N-light additionally specifies the optional feature within the DALI specification for polarity-free connection of data wires, thereby minimising the chances of wiring errors.

FLEXIBLE GROUP CONTROL As well as being addressed individually or altogether (broadcast), every device on the DALI system may belong to any of up to 16 group assignments. Group assignments can be used to apply emergency tests to pre defined areas of a building, and can be re-configured at any time, for example, to accommodate changes in system usage without the need for re-wiring.
DETAILED STATUS REPORTING N-light provides a comprehensive picture of the historical and real-time status of the emergency lighting installation. Automatic status notifications are logged by the system whenever a fault or test failure is detected that could compromise the safety of the system. A full record of system status is available for hardcopy print at any time - N-light Web offering the additional option for full notification via SMS message or e-mail.
COMPLIANT FOR EMERGENCY LIGHTING International and national legislation and guidelines dictate that it is essential for emergency lighting to be specified, installed and maintained correctly. N-light is designed to work with Mackwell’s range of AT4 DALI emergency products to provide a straightforward route to compliance for the system designer with safety being the number one priority.
SAFETY BY DEFAULT As well as conforming to the DALI requirements of IEC 62386, all Mackwell AT4 DALI emergency products incorporate AutoTest as standard. This ensures that emergency luminaires adopt a default self-test programme complying with the requirements of IEC 62034 until a DALI bus is connected and a valid command is received. This aligns with the DALI control philosophy of “distributed intelligence” and allows the responsibility for overall control of the system to be allocated to specific components according to operating requirements.
