OSRAM SYLVANIA Adds QUICKTRONIC DALI to Its Family of
Controllable Fluorescent Lighting Systems

DANVERS, MA - OSRAM SYLVANIA’s Electronic Control Systems division has announced the introduction of QUICKTRONIC® DALI to its family of controllable fluorescent lighting systems. Specially designed for greater flexibility and control of lighting environments than traditional dimming systems, SYLVANIA’s QUICKTRONIC DALI controls OCTRON® T8, PENTRON® T5 and PENTRON® HO T5 lamps over a wide range of light level settings, from 1.0 ballast factor to .01 ballast factor. In addition, control wiring is simplified by two polarity-free connections that can be routed in the same raceway as power wires.

"Successfully furthering OSRAM SYLVANIA’s role as a leading energy conserver, QUICKTRONIC DALI provide the basis for smarter, more cost-effective lighting systems," says Mike Williams, product marketing manager. "As energy costs continue to steadily rise, effective use of dimming and switching strategies as lighting systems are integrated into building management systems and will allow property management professionals to realize significant energy-savings."

Overall, the communications protocol “DALI” is an acronym for “Digital Addressable Lighting Interface.” This is a worldwide standard for digital lighting control that has been accepted by all the leading lighting suppliers. The digital protocol also allows simplified control wiring that provides greater flexibility than traditional 0-10V analog systems. Independent or group control of luminaires now allows the user to customize their lighting environment for any use and comfort level. And by utilizing the two-way communication feature, DALI provides new opportunities for monitoring lighting systems with direct input from ballasts.

QUICKTRONIC DALI is available in one- and two-lamp models that operate from 120V through 277V, eliminating “wrong voltage” wiring errors and reducing the number of models in inventory by half. Further setting the standard for quality, QUICKTRONIC DALI is also covered by the OSRAM SYLVANIA QUICK 60+® warranty.

Headquartered in Danvers, Massachusetts, OSRAM SYLVANIA is the North American lighting operation of OSRAM GmbH, together the second-largest lighting and materials enterprise in the world, serving customers in more than 140 countries.
