    You're thinking of Thomas Nagy.

    I’m doing a final year project as part of my degree, basically doing a full electrical installation of a commercial office,

    As part of the spec I would like to add in KNX for the lighting control.

    Just unsure of how it’s physically wired at the boards etc...

    Fittings need 230v and then I presume acivtrol cable?

    How are the Knx dimming actuators linked to each lighting circuit, what breakers do they need, is it a completely separate lighting panel?

    Any guidance would be great,

    Cheers

    Have pretty much everything done except for the lighting circuitry, have the dialux outputs done etc but just need to understand how the KNX controls the lighting and how the dittibution boards are made up,

    Cheers

    Any one know how much this would cost for an average 3 bed semi detached house to purchase?

    Did the course about ten years ago I recall the price of a light switch was over 100e and the talk among the class was that it would be at least 3 times the price of standard domestic wiring.
