Rako WMR-DLI Multi-Room DALI Controller – 15 Channel
The Rako WMR-DLI is a wired multi-room DALI lighting controller designed to integrate addressable DALI luminaires and LED drivers into a Rako wired lighting control system. It provides control of up to 15 addressable DALI channels across multiple rooms, supporting up to 64 DALI ballasts grouped into a maximum of 16 Rako rooms.
Designed for residential and commercial lighting installations, the WMR-DLI allows compatible DALI fittings to be grouped into lighting zones and operated through Rako wall controllers, presence sensors and programmed lighting scenes.

Multi-Room DALI Lighting Control
The Rako WMR-DLI enables addressable DALI lighting installations to be integrated into the Rako wired network. Individual DALI ballasts can be assigned to Rako lighting channels and grouped into different rooms for independent or combined control.
The controller supports up to 64 DALI ballasts across a maximum of 16 rooms, with 16 programmable lighting scenes available per room.
This makes the WMR-DLI suitable for installations where multiple rooms or areas require individual lighting scenes while sharing a centrally managed DALI control system.
DT6 and DT8 DALI Compatibility
The WMR-DLI supports compatible DT6 and DT8 DALI control gear.
- DT6: Control of compatible DALI dimmable lighting loads.
- DT8: Support for suitable colour-changing and tunable white lighting applications.
When used with compatible DT8 equipment, the controller supports colour temperature adjustment, RGBWAF colour selection, colour wheel operation and temperature slider functions.
Rako Wired System Integration
The WMR-DLI connects to the Rako wired network through an RJ11 connection to compatible network equipment, such as a RAK-LINK or RAK-STAR, or through the CAT5/CAT6 punch-down connections on its daughterboard.
Once commissioned using RASOFT Pro, the controller can be operated through compatible Rako wired control products, including:
- WCM: Classic wired wall control modules
- WK-EOS: EOS wired control panels
- WK-MOD: Modular wired control panels
- WK-PIR: Wired PIR presence sensors
- WAVFR: Volt-free input interface
- WAVMI: Mains-voltage input interface

Installation and Commissioning
The Rako WMR-DLI should be installed by a competent electrician as part of a correctly designed DALI lighting control system.
The controller requires connection to the Rako wired network and a DALI lighting circuit. It is supplied with a 12V DC power supply for the DALI controller, while the Rako wired network provides its separate network supply.
Commissioning is carried out using Rako RASOFT Pro software, allowing DALI devices to be addressed, grouped and assigned to the required Rako rooms and lighting channels.
All connected DALI devices, power supplies and network components must be installed in accordance with Rako’s instructions and the applicable electrical installation requirements.
Important Information
The Rako WMR-DLI is a DALI lighting controller, not a standalone mains dimmer. It requires compatible DALI control gear and a correctly configured Rako wired lighting control system.
The maximum of 64 DALI ballasts refers to the number of supported addressable devices, not 64 independent Rako lighting channels.
For single-room DALI applications, Rako also offers the WSR-DLI controller. For DIN rail installations, consider the Rako DIN-DLI multi-room controller.
