DALI Track and Accessories
DALI track is a track system that carries a DALI control line in addition to the three power circuits of three-phase track. DALI-driven spotlights are addressed through the track without separate control cabling; each luminaire is dimmed individually or in groups and scenes are created. With surface and recessed track and a power feed, long, L, T, X and flexible connectors that also carry the DALI line, it is used in museums, galleries, showrooms and hotels.

- DALI, KNX and 1-10V: Lighting Control Systems
1-10V is the lowest-cost analogue method, dimming all luminaires on a line together. DALI (IEC 62386) is a digital protocol that can address 64 luminaires on a line individually and receive status information. KNX is a building automation standard that manages lighting together with heating, blinds and security systems. 1-10V suits small, budget-focused jobs, DALI offices, hotels and shops, and in integrated smart buildings KNX as the upper layer is combined with DALI as the lower layer.
- Museum and Gallery Lighting: Showing the Work While Protecting It
The aim of museum and gallery lighting is to show the work in its true colour while limiting the damage light causes. About 50 lx for highly sensitive works such as paper, textiles and watercolours and about 150–200 lx for moderately sensitive works such as oil paintings are widely accepted limits (CIE 157); LED that emits no UV or heat, CRI 95 and above, 3000K and narrow-beam adjustable track spotlights are recommended.
- Showroom Lighting: Car, Furniture and Ceramics Showrooms
The aim of showroom lighting is to show products in their true colour and form, and to change the light as the layout changes. General lighting is even and glare-free, products are accented at about 3–5 times the general level, with CRI 90 or higher and 3000K–4000K depending on the product; track spotlights and DALI scenes give flexibility.

Can three-phase connectors be used on DALI track?
No. DALI connectors carry the DALI line along with the power circuits; standard three-phase connectors do not.
