Lighting is ambiance, comfort, timing. Whether you're in the kitchen in the morning, working focused in your home office, or relaxing on the couch in the evening, the right lighting makes all the difference. That's why light control deserves more than a simple switch. At Qbus, we fully embrace smart lighting. Not just to make your home more beautiful or cozy, but also more efficient. Smarter. With more control for you. It all starts with a name: DALI.
DALI – fully known as Digital Addressable Lighting Interface – is the standard for digital lighting control. It is not a gadget, but a powerful protocol that allows individual control of each light or fixture group. The difference compared to traditional lighting is, well, light years apart.
In a standard installation, lights simply turn on or off. With a DALI system, you gain full control over intensity, color, timing, and behavior. Not only do you control the lighting, but the lighting also communicates back. This is called bidirectional communication. This way, you know exactly what is on, where, and when. More importantly, you can respond immediately.
Moreover, DALI operates over a simple two-wire connection. No tangle of cables, no separate circuits per zone, no brand limitations. The protocol is universal and open. Thus, you are not tied to a single manufacturer or supplier.
DALI + Qbus = intelligent light management
Qbus fully integrates DALI into its smart control system. This means you can go far beyond just dimming or switching. You can combine multiple functions into one intuitive experience. Consider an ambiance for a dinner: soft lighting in the living space, accent lights above the table, with the rest dimmed or off. Or a ‘work mode’ where everything is bright and focused.
You set up these scenarios once, and then they run automatically. Based on time, sunlight, presence, or your preferences. You adjust them via a wall button, an app on your smartphone, or a central touchscreen. No technical knowledge required. No hassle.
More control. Less consumption.
Smart lighting control is also smart energy management. DALI ensures that you never illuminate more than necessary. No light left on unnecessarily. No space that is both brightly and mood-lit simultaneously. Furthermore, you can dim LED lamps with DALI much more precisely than with traditional systems. Without flickering, even at low intensity. You'll see it and feel it. In comfort and on your energy bill.
At Qbus, we believe in technology that adapts to you – not the other way around. DALI is a perfect example of that. It transforms every space into the right space, at the right moment. Bright in the morning, warm in the evening. Functional while cooking, atmospheric while watching TV. Perfectly tuned to your rhythm, preference, mood.
