Ask for the exact fixture variant, driver model and proposed control model in one review sheet. Record the manufacturer's control-interface description and obtain compatibility evidence for that combination. If the driver or control is substituted, reopen the review instead of assuming the previous sample result still applies.
| Record | What to make explicit |
|---|---|
| Exact equipment identities | Record the fixture order code, driver model and control model, including relevant revisions. Ask whether the supplied driver is the same as the tested sample and who must approve any substitution. |
| Control-interface record | Have the supplier state the required control interface using its technical documentation, not just a sales label. Give those documents to the control designer or electrician to check against the intended system; this worksheet does not specify wiring. |
| Compatibility evidence | Request the applicable manufacturer compatibility listing or a documented review of the exact combination. State the models covered, any limitations and remaining test requirements. A listing for a similar-looking lamp is not the same record. |
| Requested behaviour | Describe the required on/off behaviour, dimming scenes and any colour-control requirement. Have a qualified professional organise a sample review using the proposed equipment and record observations, including unresolved flicker, noise or low-level behaviour. |
| DALI claims, when applicable | If DALI-2 certification is claimed for a component, check its exact identity and relevant version in the DALI Alliance database. The database concerns components; do not turn a driver entry into a statement that the complete fixture or installation is certified. |
Take this into your next conversation.
- The review identifies the actual fixture, driver and control models.
- Control requirements are supported by the relevant technical documents.
- Sample observations state which combination was reviewed.
- A substitution triggers a new compatibility review.
