Can this be done?

do the rainy days / moon phase / thunderstorms work with Dali Ballasts?

I can't get the thunder storms to work the ballasts do dim as per the setup illumination

This should work. You have assigned the DALI-ballast to an illumination channel and for each illumination run you can activate several simulations for this channel like rainy days, clouds, thunderstorm.

Yes I have done this IE dali 1 = illumination 2 then I run thunderstorm manually on & it just switches the 0 - 10V on? & does not use the dali?

If you mean the lightning effect - this isn't possible with light tubes and therefore not possible with DALI. The darkening while a thunderstorm should work.

Thanks Frank

I take it LED lights are what would be needed? do any of the rainy days / cloud cover work with light tubes / Dali?

Yes and yes.

LED Lights are our Simu-L or Simu-Spot.

The darkening (rainy days, cloud, during a thunderstrom) works with DALI.

Thanks Frank

These options are great for T5 / LED lighting only units I have T5 / MH combo & am not sure that the clouds would make a huge difference when the MH are on.

I need to saw through the roof of the house & put in a sky light :)
