lighting DSI dimming switching choices

[gazdkw82]

I thought id post this on here rather than the lighting forum. I have a little project at work as part of a learning curve in lighting design.

I have some experience of Relux and plan to design the lighting on that. I have narrowed down the fittings to 2xJCC1361 (DSI).

The problem I have is im unsure what switch is suitable for DSI dimming. My original plan was to use 1-10v dimming but I have been told to avoid 1-10v dimming and use DSI dimming.

The fixture itself comes with DSI compatibility but Im unsure if just a regular switchDim switch will work ok.

Currently the room has a 1 gang MK grid switch.

Good luck with that I have no clue what DSI dimming is

Thanks for the reply MFS.

I have now changed the light fittings to be controlled via DALI.

I still have the problem of not knowing what sort of light grid switch will operate a DALI fixture.

I think a reactive rocker switch will probably work but not really sure

DALI the brand of fittings?

I’d think you’d need a specific DALI controller and a sprung rocker switch

Digital Addressible Lighting Interface.

Dali light fittings can be controlled either by a standard rocker switch, or by a momentary switch.
All depends on how you set it up.

It's going to use a ex-or lightspot HD PIR. This will allow communication between switch and the DALI ballast within the fitting
