For his top-floor unit renovation in Sydney, Darren, owner of 2E Consulting, sought an advanced, open lighting control system. Leveraging his engineering and lighting industry background, Darren opted for a versatile DALI-2 system.

Collaborating with an interior designer, Darren integrated a DALI-2 zencontrol solution, including tunable circadian rhythm lights, LEDstrips, and zencontrol-powered blinds for a complete smart setup. 

Darren personally completed the Lumenation zencontrol training, handling the installation and programming himself. 

The final installation included a hybrid zencontrol and Lunatone setup, featuring zencontrol application controllers, sensors, and dimmers, along with Lunatone touchpanels and relays. This project showcases Darren's expertise and zencontrol’s capabilities, creating a truly customised, future-proof living space.

Located in Mosman, Sydney, this high-end home underwent a lighting transformation with the installation of a zencontrol wireless DALI-2 system, replacing an outdated C-Bus setup. Featuring 30 DALI lights with DT8 circadian rhythm, the project offered a significant upgrade in control and functionality. DALI-2 was chosen for its wireless, customisable, and future-proof capabilities, enabling an elegant integration with Control 4 for seamless smart home management.

The system provides tunable lighting that adjusts with natural daylight cycles, promoting well-being by enhancing energy, mood, and sleep quality. The app-based control allows flexibility, providing remote operation of the lighting system. The smooth dimming and flicker-free operation have significantly improved the home's ambience, while sensor lighting in key areas adds safety and convenience. With modern backlit switches and a convenient 'All Lights Off' feature, the home offers ease of use and enhanced aesthetics.

The new Qantas Group Flight Training Facility (QGFTF) in Sydney, developed by LOGOS Property Group, is set to become a leading centre for pilot and cabin crew training. Spanning 7,000m² over three floors, it will feature eight full-motion flight simulators, including one for the Airbus A350, along with advanced training devices, emergency procedures equipment, and classrooms.

A standout feature is the DALI lighting system, providing exceptional energy efficiency. In this zencontrol project, a key requirement was the use of Clipsal Iconic switchplates. LUX Automation expertly wired 220 Iconic slave mechs to zc-switches, meeting the brief with precision.

Set to open in early 2024, the facility will train up to 4,500 Qantas and Jetstar pilots and cabin crew annually, supporting Qantas' growth plans.
