Abstract

Described herein is a dual-mode luminaire controller for a luminaire in which dimming signals can be provided to control the operation of the luminaire using signals in accordance with either ‘0-10V’ or DALI protocols. The controller includes a central processing module, an isolated supply in which both a DALI interface and a ‘0-10V’ interface are provided. The luminaire controller also includes a ZigBee transceiver module through which signals can be provided for selecting one of the interfaces in accordance with the operating protocol of the luminaire with which the luminaire controller is associated.
