"The use of the Zhaga and D4i logos together on luminaires and nodes will provide clarity and confidence in multi-vendor product interoperability," said Paul Drosihn, DiiA General Manager.
Based on complementary specifications from Zhaga and DiiA, Zhaga-D4i makes it easy to add or upgrade sensors and/or communication nodes. This enables smart, future-proof LED luminaires with IoT connectivity.
"With the Zhaga-D4i certification program, decision makers in outdoor road lighting can combine the long-lasting nature of the lighting infrastructure with the rapid changes in digital communication and sensor technology," said Dee Denteneer, Zhaga Secretary-General.
Zhaga-D4i luminaires have a powered Zhaga receptacle, which can accommodate a sensor or communication node with a corresponding Zhaga plug. Also, Zhaga-D4i luminaires use LED drivers meeting the D4i requirements, including the availability of DALI-2 luminaire, energy and diagnostics data.
Zhaga-D4i certification of sensors and/or communication nodes will become available later in 2020.Zhaga-D4i luminaires are listed on the Zhaga website at zhagastandard.org/products.htm , while D4i drivers can be found in the DiiA online Product Database at digitalilluminationinterface.org/products
The first Zhaga-D4i luminaires are outdoor fixtures that are certified in accordance with the requirements of Zhaga Book 18 Ed 2.0, published in late 2019.
Zhaga-D4i certification will be extended to include Zhaga Book 20 for indoor applications, which will be published in April 2020 for Zhaga members. A preliminary information has been published in LpR 73 May/June 2019 issue.
