According to Jim Yorgey of Lutron Electronics, “The difference between the DALI system and the 0-10VDC system is that with DALI you can turn any ballast (or group of ballasts) ON/OFF or DIM without rewiring the circuits. With 0-10VDC, the ballasts must be wired together with control wires, then the controller only dims, it does not turn the lights on or off. You would have to re-wire the power to match the dimming circuits to get the on/off function.” Click here to see an explanatory diagram.
