Commercial Lighting Controls
Commercial Lighting Controls for Smarter, More Efficient Buildings
The right lighting control system can transform how a commercial building uses energy, responds to its occupants and performs over time. At ALD Lighting Solutions, we supply and design a comprehensive range of commercial lighting control systems, helping our clients achieve greater efficiency, improved comfort and better overall control of their lighting environment.
Whether you are specifying a new installation or upgrading an existing system, our experienced team will work with you to identify the most appropriate solution for your building, your budget and your operational requirements.
Wired and Wireless Lighting Control Systems
We offer both wired and wireless lighting control solutions for commercial buildings, giving our clients the flexibility to choose the approach that best suits their project.
Wired systems, including DALI-based controls, are well suited to larger or more complex installations where reliability and scalability are the priority.
Wireless systems offer greater flexibility and are particularly useful in refurbishment projects where installing additional cabling would be disruptive or costly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between wired and wireless lighting controls in commercial buildings?
Wired lighting control systems, such as DALI-based controls, use physical cabling to connect control devices, sensors and luminaires. They are generally considered the most reliable and scalable option for larger commercial installations. Wireless lighting control systems, such as those using Casambi’s Bluetooth mesh technology, communicate without the need for additional cabling. They are quicker and less disruptive to install, making them particularly well suited to refurbishment projects or buildings where running new cables is not practical. Both approaches can deliver excellent results. The right choice depends on the size and complexity of your project, your budget and any constraints on installation.
What is DALI and why is it widely used in commercial lighting?
DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. It is an open international standard for two-way digital communication between lighting control devices, drivers and luminaires. DALI allows individual luminaires or groups of luminaires to be addressed, dimmed and controlled independently, giving building managers a high degree of flexibility and precision in how they manage their lighting. It is widely used in commercial buildings because it is reliable, scalable and compatible with products from a wide range of manufacturers, making it a future-proof choice for most commercial lighting control applications.
