Take control beyond the walls – wireless control for outdoor DALI lighting

Smart lighting control doesn’t have to stop at the building’s edge. With W-DALI, LumenRadio’s wireless alternative to DALI cabling, you can seamlessly extend your indoor lighting system outdoors, without running a single new control cable.

W-DALI delivers the same trusted DALI functionality you know – just without the wires. It replaces the traditional two-wire control bus with a secure, reliable wireless mesh network, allowing you to connect outdoor luminaires to your existing DALI system with ease.

Using your existing DALI controller, W-DALI transmits commands wirelessly to outdoor nodes. Each W-DALI Node can control up to ten DALI devices, making it easy to add wireless control to parking areas, façades, walkways or courtyards without expensive trenching or rewiring.

Extend your indoor lighting control outdoors

Outdoor lighting projects often present physical and logistical challenges – from distance and accessibility to strict building regulations. W-DALI eliminates these obstacles by enabling wireless communication between indoor and outdoor zones.

With accessories such as external antennas and outdoor kits, your DALI network can easily span building perimeters, courtyards, parking areas and even detached structures – all while using the same DALI controller from inside.

This makes W-DALI ideal for:

  • Bus & Train Stations
  • Sports Fields
  • Historical Buildings

Faster Modernization for Transportation Hubs

In busy environments such as bus terminals and train stations, W-DALI allows lighting upgrades to proceed with no downtime and no disruption to passengers.

Because W-DALI replaces the control cable, installation is quick and non-invasive – keeping critical infrastructure operational while you modernize the lighting system.

“With W-DALI wireless control, no new cables were run and there was minimal disruption. A wired installation would have cost almost double.”

A Winning Solution for Sports Fields

Because W-DALI replaces the physical DALI cable with a wireless mesh, you avoid having to dig up the field or install long control cables when upgrading your lighting system.

The technology supports very long-range wireless connectivity, making it possible to control floodlights spaced far apart.

“All the other wireless control options we have come across do not have anywhere near the range of W-DALI, so there wasn’t really an alternative.”

Preserves the Architectural Integrity of Historical Buildings

Protected properties such as castles, churches and museums, often come with restrictions that prohibit drilling or installing new wiring. With W-DALI, you can bring modern lighting control to outdoor courtyards, entrances and façades without altering or damaging the building’s original structure.

And with a superior range to other wireless solutions, W-DALI is particularly suited to tackling historical buildings with thick, stone walls.
