Zhaga-D4i Certification Features
Easy to add or upgrade sensors and/or communication modules:
Enables future-proof luminaires that can keep pace with rapid developments in digital
networking and sensing technology.
Intra-luminaire DALI-2 bus:
Enables bi-directional communication between sensors and/or communication modules and
LED drivers using the well-established and standardized DALI-2 protocol.
D4i drivers are smart:
Able to report operational and diagnostic data to an external network, can provide inventory
related information about luminaires.
IoT connectivity:
With a suitable wireless communication module, the luminaire can interact with an external
lighting-control network and to become part of the IoT.
IoT for Luminaires Comes of Age
Plug and Play
• DALI-2 is the standardized data bus
• D4i is the standardized feature set
• A standardized data bus and feature set allow for the lighting controller to read back data from the driver
• D4i Enables Smart Data Capabilities
– Standardizes what information is monitored by the driver
– Standardizes what information is stored by the driver,and where
DALI-2 bus is distributed to multiple fixtures throughout the building
Intra-Luminaire
Book 25 builds upon Book 24, which makes it easy for luminaire manufacturers to use NFC programming in a production line where multiple brand drivers are used one after the other.
• Book 25 takes this to in-field programming, by specifying a wireless reader and driver interface
• Based on Bluetooth
Vendor differentiation as in Book 24
• Manufacturers develop own software and drivers
• OEMs/installers/maintenance use one setup to configure the drivers
In support of sustainability, lighting applications are configuring LED drivers and reading parameters throughout the product lifecycle more frequently.
The Data Management Issue
Manufacturers of LED luminaires currently use a variety of methods(Resistor/DALI/NFC) for configuring LED drivers and reading parameters throughout the product lifecycle. Maintenance staff needs to manage all these methods with different tools.
The Solution
Zhaga NFC based programming at the OEM and in the field covering the entire luminaire lifecycle with interoperable maintenance tools enabling easy to service, configurable luminaires.
Benefits for Designers and Property Owners
Reduced Risk and Future-proofing
Zhaga-based luminaires are future-proof because light sources can be purchased from multiple suppliers. Customer is not reliant on original supplier if maintenance and/or replacement is required.
Easier Upgrades
Latest-generation technology can be adopted easily. Luminaires are future-proofed against rapid LED technology evolution.
Easier Procurement
If maintenance or upgrades are necessary, standardized parts will be in stock from numerous suppliers.
Unprecedented Flexibility
Socketable LED light sources enable tool-free interchangeability in the field. This allows different options for color temperature, CRI, and – in some cases – lumen levels
Dark Sky Friendly LED Lighting
According to the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA), light pollution is the inappropriate or
excessive use of artificial light, and it can have serious environmental consequences for humans, wildlife, and our climate.
DECENTEK LED luminaires are Dark Sky Friendly by design
Below are few of the solutions we offer to help reduce light pollution and improve quality of life:
• Adaptive Control/Sensors - Eliminate over usage of light and adjust light levels
• Custom Optics - Direct light to only where it is needed.
• Floodlight Visors - Minimize skyglow and light trespass
• Warm White Light - Reduce over-lighting of areas and reflection
• Lighting Layouts - Precise, efficient & environment-appropriate lighting designs
Circularity LED Lighting
Sustainable action in the lighting industry means, above all, the provision and continuous development of energy-efficient lighting products and solutions, the resource-saving design of durable and serviceable products, the collection and recycling of materials and the reduction or avoidance of harmful substances.
Serviceable products and systems are characterized by the following properties, among others:
• Repairability of luminaires – for the occasional failure of a component.
• Upgradeability of luminaires – for when a larger energy saving can be made with newer components, or new sensor or connectivity technologies can be integrated and used.
• Replaceability of components – if for instance an LED module with different colour temperature is required, but also to support repair and upgrade of luminaires.
• Serviceability – is often used as a summary term for the above-mentioned properties, but also includes other characteristics such as the ability to adjust the illuminance level or programme different control settings when requirements change.
• Being future proof - so that new sensor or connectivity technologies can be integrated and used.
• Durability - this is not only a quality characteristic of a luminaire, but also concerns the ability to extend its useful life through servicing.
Sustainable action, facilitated via a circular economy, are both important elements in making the world a better place.
Sustainable lighting systems are energy-efficient, durable, can be repaired, adapted and upgraded, and do not contain any harmful substances.
A modular approach based on standardised component interfaces makes luminaires serviceable and creates the conditions for an efficient circular economy in the lighting industry.
Circularity Lighting refers to a market framework with products and systems that support the aims of the circular economy through enhanced serviceability.
