DALI Alliance Wins Two Innovation Awards for DALI+
Last month during Lightfair 2025 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the DALI Alliance earned two top honors in the 2025 LightFair Innovation Awards for its next-generation wireless and IP-based lighting control technology.
The annual awards recognize the most groundbreaking developments in the lighting and controls industry. Among the 11 category winners and 4 distinguished overall awards, DALI+ was recognized for:
Category Award — Best Control-Enabling Technology
Overall Award — The Design Excellence Award
Judged by lighting and controls experts from across the industry, these awards recognize DALI+ as a standout innovation delivering advanced functionality, scalability, and interoperability for modern lighting systems. The judges praised the technology stating, “This represents a big step forward, extending DALI’s benefits to wireless networks.”
Noted Paul Drosihn, general manager of the DALI Alliance, “These awards validate our vision for a smarter, more connected lighting ecosystem. DALI+ extends DALI into wireless and IP-based domains without sacrificing interoperability or compliance with global standards.”
DALI+ builds on the trusted DALI protocol by using Thread as the wireless carrier, enabling standardized, robust, two-way control for features such as advanced dimming, diagnostics, and data exchange. DALI+ brings wireless control to the proven DALI ecosystem, and when paired with DALI-2, enables seamless hybrid systems that simplify integration in today’s smart buildings.
