What’s DALI DT8

DALI DT8, also known as Device Type 8, is a type of DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) device that allows for advanced color control of lighting fixtures. It's defined in Part 209 of the IEC 62386 standard, which describes control gear that enable color control.

Here's a breakdown of what DALI DT8 is and what it does:

• A single address for multiple outputs: Unlike DALI DT6, which requires a separate address for each channel, DT8 uses a single address to control two or more outputs on a special DT8 driver. This means fewer addresses are needed for complex lighting systems with multiple colors, reducing cost and complexity. 
• Color control: DT8 drivers can control various color parameters, including color temperature, intensity, and individual colors in RGB or RGBW fixtures. This allows for more precise and flexible color control compared to basic dimming.
• Tunable white: A popular application of DT8 is tunable white lighting, which allows you to adjust the color temperature of white light from warm to cool. This can be useful for creating different moods and atmospheres in a spac
• RGB/RGBW control: DT8 can also be used to control RGB and RGBW LED fixtures, allowing you tocreate a wide range of colored lighting effects.

Here are some of the benefits of using DALI DT8:

• Reduced cost and complexity: Fewer addresses and drivers are needed compared to DT6.
• More precise and flexible color control: Allows for tunable white and RGB/RGBW control.
• Improved energy efficiency: By precisely controlling color and intensity, you can save energy.

Now, DALI DT8 is widely used for RGB/RGBW or tunable white landscape lights.
