In short
Suspended lighting is typically controlled with DALI or Casambi, enabling dimming, scenes, daylight dimming, presence detection and separate up and down light control.
Controls make suspended lighting more flexible and efficient.
DALI and Casambi
DALI suits new builds and major fit-outs. Casambi is wireless and ideal for refurbishments.
Up and down control
Some direct/indirect fittings allow separate control of up and down light for different scenes.
Sensors
Daylight dimming and presence detection cut energy use.
