Transforming live concerts into immersive, interactive experiences is exactly what smart lighting control systems achieve using splitters and repeaters. Splitters and repeaters are designed for complex lighting systems that handle audio and video configurations. They allow a single input signal to be divided into multiple outputs or to extend the range of a signal, ensuring that multiple devices can operate simultaneously without losing quality. Control Freak offers advanced splitters and repeaters, such as the Splitter V2 Lightning, designed specifically for DMX lighting systems. These

When it comes to LED control, bigger is better. The SLAMMO V5 PCBA from Control Freak is an advanced 4-channel lighting control module that makes controlling LED lights easy and effective. This device works with control systems including DMX/RDM and DALI, allowing it to fit into many different setups. Designed to support 12V DC or 24DC Constant Voltage power sources, the SLAMMO V5 is perfect for RGBW lighting configurations and is compatible with common anode LED projects. Available in two enclosures, the IP54 rated aluminium enclosure can manage up to 600W, whereas the IP67 plastic version

Small devices solving big problems. Control Freak's DALI Power & Distribution products deliver innovative power supply solutions for lighting control systems. Specifically, the UBi Power V2 is a compact unit designed to distribute DALI via 5 parallel DALI connections which may be individually connected and disconnected as required. It can power DALI lines at 21.9VDC/245mA. With advanced test capabilities, it allows you to adjust the DALI line by the push of a button to its minimum or maximum setting for efficient fault detection. Compatible with ADDICT V3 commissioning device, it features

Imagine controlling a ceiling fan through a DALI system – this is now possible with the Control Freak LIDA-D. The LIDA-D is a highly adaptable DALI relay controller that enables switched loads to be incorporated into DALI-based systems. Controlling one to two ceiling fans or up to four relays/contactors, this powerhouse device suits a wide range of applications, from contactor control, pumps and turning on and off lights. The LIDA-D has a flexible input from 8 to 40VDC and has a minimum current of 50mA. It can directly power loads up to 57W at 240VAC, providing users flexibility with different

Retrofitting a building with modern LED lighting doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul of existing control systems. The DALI to 0/1-10V Control Converter is a versatile device designed to bridge the gap between digital DALI systems and 0-10V lighting controls. This compact module converts DALI signals into 0-10V or 1-10V protocols, enabling seamless integration of DALI-controlled systems with traditional 0-10V dimming fixtures. The primary advantage of this converter is the ability to retrofit and integrate DALI control into existing 0-10V systems without changing the drivers. The converter

Smart lighting controls have fundamentally changed energy management from residential and commercial buildings to entertainment venues. Among the many options available, two stand out as the most popular: DMX (Digital Multiplex) and DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). Control Freak offers a variety of DALI and DMX control devices to manage lighting with precision, allowing for individual or group control of lights. The DALI system offers dimming, scheduling and integration with building management systems. Not only does this save energy but allows for creating the right atmosphere

Euchips has developed a range of DALI compatible constant voltage LED drivers that are perfect for powering tunable white LED strips. These drivers are designed for commercial built in applications and come in both 12V and 24V models. Key Features Slim Design: Their compact form factor allows for easy installation into various fixtures and spaces Power Ratings: Choose between 75W and 150W options Tunable White Compatibility: Specifically engineered for tunable white LED strips, enabling you to adjust brightness and colour temperatures to create the desired ambiance DALI-2 Control: With DALI-2

Lighting is not just about functionality, it’s a powerful way to change the atmosphere of a space and set the right mood. Dimmers work by sending a signal that controls the voltage and current going to the light, allowing you to increase or decrease the light intensity. While dimming may seem straightforward, it involves several important factors. Different types of lights require specific dimming technologies to function properly and provide smooth, flicker-free illumination. The most common dimming types in Australia include phase dimming, 1-10V dimming, 0-10V dimming and DALI dimming. Phase
