TwoDALI channels, one sensor B
B.E.G. brings ‘simpler’ DALI lighting control to the UK
.E.G. has introduced a new DALI-2 two-channel presence detector to the UK market which is designed for rooms and areas that require the lighting to be controlled as two circuits of lighting by a two-gang retractive switch. The DACO Duo sensor, launched by the manufacturer for 2026, allow the lights to be switched on and off , dimmed up and down, and daylight-linked for energy effi ciency. It is aimed at commercial and public buildings such as offi ces and buildings with small to medium rooms. The new sensor enables the independent control of two DALI lighting channels from a single device says the leading provider of intelligent lighting solutions. By continuously detecting both occupancy and ambient daylight, the system automatically adjusts light output to deliver consistent illumination levels throughout the day, helping to reduce unnecessary energy consumption without compromising the user experience.
A key feature of DACO Duo is its integrated
broadcast technology, which allows it to function as a stand-alone solution without complex commissioning. This means a single brightness sensor can control two light strips evenly and reliably, reducing system complexity and commissioning time.
The approach is intended to ‘support projects where straightforward installation and dependable operation are priorities’ according to Dan Glynn, sales director at B.E.G. UK. Additional features include soft start and when timing out, it would dim back to a reduced level, and after another period of time, switch off . The DACO Duo is master sensor, and additional slaves can be added to a single room operation to give a wider range of occupancy coverage. Typical applications include education, healthcare, hospitality, retail, and industrial environments.
Dan Glynn said: “The B.E.G. DACO Duo sensor has been developed to meet the needs of the UK market, where there is strong demand for lighting control solutions that are both intelligent
and easy to install and easy to commission. By allowing two DALI channels to be controlled from a single sensor without complex setup, we are giving contractors and specifi ers a practical way to deliver energy-effi cient lighting without adding unnecessary complexity.

Rethinking connectivity D
oorBird, one of the leading providers of intelligent door communication systems, is unveiling a technological
world fi rst at ISE in Barcelona. For the fi rst time, IP video intercom systems with integrated 5G mobile connectivity are available on the market. With the new D31TDV 5G and D31TDH 5G models, DoorBird enables a reliable internet connection without the need for Ethernet cabling, redefi ning fl exibility and system resilience in door communication through 5G technology.
This innovation opens up new possibilities, particularly for existing buildings. The need for complex retrofi tting of network cabling is completely eliminated, signifi cantly simplifying installation while reducing costs as well as planning and installation eff ort. As neither apartment nor building cabling is required, the 5G-enabled D31x models are ideally suited for rapid retrofi ts and modernization projects. The IP video intercom systems of the D31x series have been specifi cally developed for multi-occupancy
