DALI & Lutron Hi-Lume?

[davidwho]

Hi All,

I've received multiple contradicting answers from different sources on this.. Hoping anyone has some experience.
The drivers are already installed, so this is a question regarding control compatibility-

Can the Hi-Lume A-series (L3DA4U1UKS-3ABLK) communicate with DALI through the EcoSystem terminals?
I know EcoSystem is heavily based on DALI language but - can I wire these drivers up like they were DALI, and expect them to commission/function normally with a DALI controller?
There are ~100 drivers so I really don't want to replace them all.

Thanks in advance!!


All the best,
David

Hello davidwho, Lutron's EcoSystem protocol offers better functionality than a standard DALI system. There are similar commands within the two different protocols which allow drivers to work in most applications. Lutron does not test compatibility with DALI systems so there may be instances where a DALI system by others uses a command which is not recognized by Lutron EcoSystem drivers.
