Technical Stuff

At Architectural Intelligence our philosophy is to provide the latest technology available for our systems and products. Each of these products must operate on non-proprietary protocols and be open source and interoperable.

Our DALI Range of lighting control products and systems operate on the DALI protocol. DALI stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. DALI is widely used in Europe and the USA and is fast becoming one of the most trusted and feature-rich object-based protocols on the market today.

The sensational i-bus system operates on the EIB protocol. EIB stands for European Installation Bus. EIB systems and products are the market leaders in Europe Asia and recently, the USA.

For higher level integration of building and environmental control systems and energy management solutions we endorse the Tridium range of products. These operate on the Niagara Framework. This network platform connects systems and devices that work on different-even proprietary-protocols. This allows full monitoring and two-way control from a single secure webpage that can be accessed from anywhere in the world through an internet browser.

More than 120 years after Thomas Edison perfected the light bulb – he didn't actually "invent" it – the first truly new lighting technology is emerging.  This new technology uses Light-Emitting Diodes, or LEDs.  LED lighting provides a clean, energy-efficient, low-temperature light source for almost any application: residential, commercial and architectural.  Insta LED technology is the most advanced in the world. With lamps/bulbs lasting in excess of 100,000 hours of continuous life, LED technology is here to stay.

Today’s state-of-the-art LEDs have come a long way in terms of offering more brightness in a smaller package.  Ongoing advances in LED technology are enabling manufacturers to better meet the ever-increasing challenges posed by lighting designers.  By using just one LED it is possible to generate up to 16,000,000 colours.  And they’re getting ever smaller, too.  Today, the thinnest production LEDs are around .6mm high, and packages are continually getting smaller.

LED lighting offers many benefits, including light quality, flexibility, safety and cost.
