DECISION GUIDE

Five Questions to Choose the Right System

1

Is this a retrofit project without existing control wiring?

2.4G wireless avoids new bus cabling and speeds up installation.

2

Do you need centralized, whole-building automation with BMS integration?

DALI or KNX is the standard choice for large-scale, centrally managed systems.

3

How many rooms or zones need independent scenes?

Panel-plus-group control scales well for room-by-room hospitality and retail zones.

4

Is the project fast-moving with a tight installation schedule?

2.4G wireless installs faster with less pre-planning and commissioning.

5

Do you need multiple third-party lighting brands on one open protocol?

DALI’s open standard suits large multi-vendor specifications.
