IZYLUM EVO | ZHAGA-D4I CERTIFICATION
Cost-effective solution A Zhaga-D4i certified luminaire includes drivers offering features that had previously been in the control node, like energy metering, which has in turn simplified the control device therefore reducing the price of the control system. 2 sockets: top and bottom The Zhaga socket is small and suited to applications where aesthetics is essential. The architecture of Zhaga-D4i also foresees the possibility of putting two sockets on one luminaire, allowing for instance, the combination of a detection sensor and a control node. This also has the added value of standardising certain detection sensor communications with the D4i protocol.
The Zhaga consortium joined forces with the DiiA and produced a single Zhaga-D4i certification that combines the Zhaga Book 18 version 2 outdoor connectivity specifications with the DiiA’s D4i specifications for intra-luminaire DALI.
Standardisation for interoperable ecosystems As a founding member of the Zhaga consortium, Schréder has participated in the creation of, and therefore supports, the Zhaga- D4i certification program and the initiative of this group to standardise an interoperable ecosystem. The D4i specifications take the best of the standard DALI2 protocol and adapt it to an intra-luminaire environment but it has certain limitations. Only luminaire mounted control devices can be combined with a Zhaga-D4i luminaire. According to the specification, control devices are limited respectively to 2W and 1W average power consumption. Certification program The Zhaga-D4i certification covers all the critical features including mechanical fit, digital communication, data reporting and power requirements within a single luminaire, ensuring plug-and-play interoperability of luminaires (drivers) and peripherals such as connectivity nodes.
