Rethinking Emergency Lighting Insights from Allan Organ, Associate Director zencontrol
Emergency lighting shouldn’t mean vendor lock-in. In this presentation, Allan Organ, Associate Director at zencontrol, outlines how DALI emergency test and monitoring (IEC 62386-202) provides a cross-manufacturer, standards-based solution.
By specifying DALI, projects gain interoperability across product ranges, streamlined commissioning, simplified lifecycle maintenance, and assured long-term system reliability.
See why open protocols are now the benchmark for emergency lighting compliance in Australia and New Zealand.
In this article we argue that although emergency lighting is typically considered a “Life Safety System” and therefore excluded from green legislation, it can still be sustainable with the appropriate strategy.
We explain how a well-planned and managed system can be both energy efficient and environmentally conscious, and even save you money!
