Key Features

Standardised Zhaga Book-18 interface geometry — any compliant module seats and seals correctly
IP66 sealing achieved without mounting screws, removing four potential leak paths
Single integrated gasket seals to luminaire and module in one step
Mounts up, down or sideways without compromising the ingress rating
One seat accepts Ø40 mm to Ø80 mm modules, from a compact photocell to a full management module
Interchangeable with any Zhaga Book-18 compliant module from any vendor

Zhaga Controller Range

Three tiers share one socket, so a luminaire platform can be specified once and upgraded later without touching the housing.

Zhaga Book-18 intelligent controller specifications
Model	Tier	Interface	Dimming	Voltage	Rating	Additional
JL-701A	Standard	5-pin Zhaga	DALI-2 ready	24 V DC	IP66	Entry-level control
JL-711A	Enhanced	5-pin Zhaga	0-10 V / DALI	120-277 V	IP66	Mains-voltage control
JL-712	Premium	5-pin Zhaga	—	—	IP67	Light + motion sensors, Zigbee / NB-IoT

Because the mechanical and electrical interface is fixed by the socket, moving from a photocell to a networked sensor module later is a module swap, not a luminaire redesign.

Applications

Municipal street lighting retrofits

Zhaga sockets and DALI-2 controllers across city-wide LED retrofits, with energy reporting back to the municipal CMS.

Highway and tunnel lighting

Stepped dimming control on motorway approaches and tunnel portals, where access is expensive and reliability matters.

Parking and area lighting

Photocell and shorting-cap solutions for car parks, industrial parks and public areas.

Smart city IoT

Cloud-connected controllers with light and motion sensing for city infrastructure, including high-ambient-temperature markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Zhaga Book-18?

A Zhaga Consortium specification that defines the mechanical, electrical and thermal interface between a luminaire and a control module. Because the interface is standardised, any compliant module — from any vendor — seats, seals and communicates correctly.

Can I fit a Zhaga socket now and upgrade the module later?

That is the point of the standard. A socket fitted today accepts a simple photocell now and a networked sensor module later, with no rewiring, no new tooling and no re-certification of the housing.

Does the socket need mounting screws?

No. The sealing is achieved without screws, which removes four fasteners and four potential leak paths from the assembly, and shortens assembly time per luminaire.

What is the difference between JL-701A, JL-711A and JL-712?

They are three tiers on the same socket. JL-701A is a DALI-2 ready 24 V DC controller, JL-711A adds 0-10 V and DALI at 120-277 V, and JL-712 adds light and motion sensing with Zigbee or NB-IoT connectivity at IP67.

Is the socket compatible with other vendors' modules?

Yes. The geometry follows Zhaga Book-18, so any compliant module seats and seals correctly — interchangeability is defined by the standard rather than by brand.
