► Only 64 ballasts per DALI bus (interface)
► Only 16 groups per interface
► Only 16 scenes per interface
► Ballast configuration (including address), groups and scenes is uploaded to and stored in the ballasts themselves
► Topology-free DALI bus operates at very low data rates
► Command-based protocol, ballasts perform fades and maintain levels
► Only certain discrete fade values are permitted
As a result the DALI protocol is not suitable for rendering effects and media, programming is restricted purely to recalling lighting levels via the Set Level and DALI Scene presets.
