DALI-2 and DimIn – the key to the luminaires of the future

DALI-2 and DimIn – the key to the luminaires of the future 💡

Optoga prepares the luminaire for EU requirements — without changing the design.

As part of the EU’s climate package Fit for 55, the demands on energy performance and real-time data collection are tightening — especially in new construction. This means every luminaire must be able to automatically report its energy consumption.

How do you extract that information from a luminaire?
👉 Through DALI-2 and DALI IoT2 Memory – the next generation of smart lighting control.

What does this mean for our customers?

Optoga offers a simple path into the requirements of the future:

Need Recommendation Benefit
Simple luminaire (on/off, phase dimming) Standard AC LED module, e.g. Clara AC FF / Steffi D AC FF No control system required
Smart luminaire – ready for DALI-2 and EPBD IoT LED module + DimIn Provides real-time data and control

DimIn – three levels of intelligence

Product Function Application
DimIn Casambi Wireless control via app Homes & public spaces
DimIn DALI Basic DALI-2 control Professional environments
DimIn DALI IoT2 Memory Full DALI2 functionality + real-time data for EPBD New construction & smart buildings

One luminaire – two lifecycles

With a module like Lilly80 AC IoT, the luminaire can first be used in a home or restaurant — with simple dimming.
But by clicking in a DimIn DALI IoT2 Memory, the same luminaire suddenly becomes ready for:

✔ automated reporting
✔ real-time energy monitoring
✔ D4i requirements and Fit for 55
✔ future BACS systems

No redesign needed. Just the right LED module and the right DimIn.

Optoga makes it easy to meet the requirements — while keeping the design.
From simple lighting to intelligent luminaires — with a single click.
