Standalone Controls

Simple, on-site control for individual lights

Essential Controls

Realtime lighting adjustments via an app

Group Controls

Manage multiple lights together, wired or wireless.

DMX Controls

Advanced sequences for creative lighting effects.

Standalone Controls

Standalone systems are designed for simple, individual luminaire operation with no central control network required. Each unit is programmed with a single function at installation, such as part night dimming, motion or presence detection, or motion sensors with override. Controls are specific to each luminaire and cannot be linked or reconfigured once installed.

Part Night Dimming
Multi-stage night-time power reduction via an internal timer referenced to the power ON/OFF time. Operates without external control infrastructure, automatically following a predefined dimming profile based on midpoint reference.

Motion Sensors
Adjustable parameters include:

Presence Level – output level when triggered
Fade-in Time – ramp-up duration after trigger
Run-on Time – hold time after no detection
Fade-out Time – ramp-down duration after run-on period
Sensors available in PIR or Microwave, function identical.

Motion Sensors with Override
Operates within the ZHAGA-D4i ecosystem as a standalone or integrated device. Supports photocell or communication node for enhanced control. Pluggable sensor with Zhaga Book 18 interface for straightforward upgrades.

Essential Controls

A real-time lighting control system operated through a phone or tablet application. Functions include on/off switching, dimming, and RGB colour change. The system supports both individual luminaire control and grouping for scenes, offering flexibility in managing lighting layouts. While highly responsive, this system operates only in real time and cannot be pre-programmed to run independently.

Installation Options

Installed using Zhaga Book 18 connections for standardised compatibility.
Requires connection from a D4i driver.
Supplied via DALI-2 protocol for reliable communication.

Key Features

Control luminaires through scenes or individually.
Configure daylight sensors for energy savings.
Manual controls via app or optional push buttons.
Add site plans to the app for easy navigation and management.
Circadian rhythm controls for optimised light cycles.
Timers for automated on/off operation.
Works alongside presence sensors for responsive lighting.
RGB and dim-to-warm control available.
Group management and scene creation for tailored lighting environments.

Group Controls

Group controls link multiple luminaires for coordinated operation, offering both pre-programmed schedules and real-time adjustments. They are ideal for complex lighting scenes, time-based events, and extended range control via mesh networking.

Key Features

Group fittings together for synchronised control
Create complex lighting scenes
Increased range via mesh system
Time-based events and scheduling
Internal or external mounted nodes
DALI & 0–10V control options
Emergency testing and reporting
Sensor integration and linking
Physical controls (static or mobile, mains or battery powered)
Programmable part night lighting and sunrise/sunset actions
Individual daily schedules
Web-based control and reporting via collator (wired or 4G)
Secure web portal with PC/tablet access
Reports on energy usage, DALI driver status, heat maps, and more
Automated failure notifications to maintenance teams
Financial data integration for cost tracking

Please Note: Installation is more complex, requiring careful pre-planning and higher investment for advanced functions.

DMX Controls

DMX is a protocol commonly used for entertainment lighting, enabling precise control over RGB and white light sources. It’s ideal for large stadiums, events, and façade lighting, and can also be used on a smaller scale for architectural effects.

Key Features

Controls RGB and white light sources
Supports up to 10 programmable lighting scenes via NicolauDi DMX controller
Scenes selected by push-button control when wired correctly
Programs can be stored on SD card memory
DMX signals sent via XLR ports to addressed fittings
Boosters used for cable runs over 300m
Splitters used when more than 256 fittings are required
Loop-in/loop-out wiring in series
Adaptors available for AMNIS driver to convert to DMX
Unique address programmed for each adaptor
Supports light shows for sports grounds
Wireless DMX senders/receivers available where cabling is not feasible (line-of-sight required)
One receiver per mast can control multiple fittings
Pre-programmed lighting shows available from factory
Custom sequences possible via commissioning engineer

Please Note: Complex sequencing requires third-party programming. Detailed planning is essential to meet project requirements.
