Not sure I understand the question!

Installing smart lighting without the plug & play flying leads,fitting Klicks ,to each fitting,then a control pair to each light.
Just wondered ,if you guys do the same,surely if it’s smart then you would use the necessary leads.
The system looks good on paper but I think our company making a pigs ear of it.

That’s a standard way of wiring DALI.
Are you using 4/5 pin Kliks?
LNE / Da Da
Easiest and neatest way would be a 5 core cable to a klik rose, then plug out to each device with 4/5 core flex
Few different ways of wiring for Dali though, depending on circuit lengths, etc..

Alot of the dali wiring systems for grid mounted fittings have a 5 core flex between them that just plug into the fittings and cable tie onto the ceiling grid.

Nothing wrong with what you are doing though, so long as the dali pair isnt just clotheslined between 2 fittings

Thanks,we got there in the end

Even when the question was answered I still don't understand what you are talking about! Dali is that a place in India?
