How does wireless lighting control halve installation costs? Learn about W-DALI!


The majority of the costs associated with the installation of wired lighting controls are related to labour. And for retrofit projects, the costs are even higher. If you want to reduce your costs, a wireless solution is the only way to go. LumenRadio W-DALI (wireless DALI) is an innovative solution that takes lighting system control to a new level.



Let's talk about one of the most important factors: The costs

There are 6 key cost factors for wired DALI installation:

1. Removal of old luminaires.

2. Removal of the old 3-core (power) cables.

3. New cables, at least 5 core, for each DALI sub-network.

4. Mounting the luminaires, installing the DALI controller.

5. DALI programming.

Experience has also shown that with wired installations, surfaces are often damaged, leading to the sixth cost factor...

6. Repair work (e.g. plastering, repainting).


It's time to go wireless with DALI


The W-DALI is the ultimate wireless alternative to the DALI cable. It makes upgrading lighting systems simpler, faster, and more affordable, saving up to 50% of the costs compared to wired upgrades!


If you spend less time on wireless installations, you can not only save on labour costs, but also complete twice as many projects. This is the great value of working with W-DALI.


Wireless installation: quick, easy and cost-effective

Although the component costs associated with a wireless installation are higher compared to a wired installation, all other costs are significantly reduced. Since there is no need for rewiring or construction work, W-DALI wireless installation does not require repair costs.

The graph below shows the costs of a retrofit project for a wired versus a wireless installation. The difference is clearly visible:

With W-DALI wireless, there are only 3 labour-intensive factors remaining:

1. Removing the old luminaires (the power cables remain).

2. Installing the luminaires, DALI controllers and wireless control units.

3. DALI programming.

W-DALI reduces the time needed for installation and commissioning!


Easy, simple and cost-effective.


Why choose W-DALI?

  • The ideal wireless alternative to retrofitting DALI cables or for retrofit projects

  • Easy installation - just switch on and connect to your W-DALI device

  • Instant wireless setup - with the push of a button, the W-DALI network can be set up in minutes


Summary

Wireless lighting control, in particular LumenRadio 's W-DALI solution, offers a number of benefits including faster installation, flexibility, reliability and energy efficiency. These benefits not only mean significant cost savings and convenience for building owners, but also contribute to more sustainable and smarter buildings.


The lighting of the future will increasingly rely on wireless technologies, and

W-DALI represents this direction.
