In this article, we dive deeper into the world of Casambi lighting and discover why this system is becoming increasingly popular in the world of lighting. We will discuss how the system works, the benefits of Casambi and give some practical examples.
Introduction to Casambi lighting
Casambi is an advanced lighting system that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology for wireless control. This system allows one to easily manage lighting via a smartphone or tablet. So completely wireless, without the need for complex wiring. The Casambi system creates a mesh network. This is a network in which each fixture communicates with each other for a reliable and robust network. Casambi is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of products and accessories. This makes it a flexible and scalable solution for all kinds of projects, from residential projects to offices and stores.
How does Casambi control lighting work?
Casambi control works by using a mesh network. These nodes communicate with each other via BLE and together form a reliable and robust network without the need for a central controller. This means that installation and configuration are simple and flexible.
Users can control the lighting via an app on their smartphone or tablet. The app allows you to create lighting scenes, set timers, and even program automations based on different sensors. This allows lighting to be dynamically adapted to the user’s wants and needs. This contributes to both comfort and energy efficiency.
The benefits of casambi lighting
With Casambi control in your project, you enjoy several benefits. We mention four, but there are many more. Wondering how to integrate Casambi controlled lighting into your project? Feel free to contact our team of lighting experts.
1. Easy installation and configuration
Casambi control uses a mesh network operating over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), eliminating the need for a central controller. In traditional systems, you need a central controller who acts as the brain of the network, so to speak. This controller processes all signals and communicates with the connected devices. With Casambi, each fixture communicates with each other in the network. This makes installation easy and flexible. Therefore, this eliminates the need for complicated cabling.
2. Flexibility and scalability
Because each fixture is an independent link in the network, you can easily add new fixtures to the existing network without major modifications. Imagine expanding an office with a new wing. With traditional systems, you would have to go through extensive wiring and configuration. With Casambi, you can simply install the new fixtures and have them automatically communicate with the existing setup. This makes the system ideal for both small and large projects and allows it to easily grow with the needs of the space.
3. User-friendly operation
With the Casambi app, you can easily control your lighting with a smartphone or tablet. The app offers the ability to create lighting scenes and set timers. But you can also program automations based on different sensors. This way, you fine-tune the lighting based precisely on the users’ needs and desires.
4. Saving energy
Thanks to its ability to accurately manage and automate lighting, Casambi helps to greatly reduce energy consumption. By turning on lights only when needed, you use less energy. In addition, Casambi allows you to adjust lighting intensity to suit conditions. This way you can reduce energy costs while contributing to a more sustainable environment.
Casambi lighting in practice
Casambi control is used in all kinds of projects. From smart office lighting to comfortable homes and energy-efficient public buildings. We highlight some practical applications:
Office lighting
In an office environment, Casambi can automatically dim or turn off lighting in rooms that are not in use, such as conference rooms or workstations after working hours. Sensors detect motion and daylight, automatically adjusting lighting. This ensures that lighting is active only when needed. This results in a significant reduction in energy consumption and lower energy costs. Imagine if in a large office space the lights automatically dim as soon as enough natural light comes through the windows or as soon as everyone has gone home, this can significantly reduce energy bills.

Store lighting
In a retail store, Casambi control modules can be used to create dynamic lighting that draws attention to specific products or window displays. Lighting can be automatically adjusted based on the time of day or special events, such as clearance sales.
Industrial lighting
In a manufacturing environment, Casambi-controlled lighting can be used to automatically adjust lighting in work zones according to the presence of workers. In addition, lighting can be adjusted according to the need for light for specific tasks. For example, lighting in warehouse aisles can be automatically dimmed when no one is present and fully illuminated as soon as an employee approaches. This provides not only energy savings but also increased safety and productivity through optimal lighting at the right places and times.
Hospitality lighting
In a restaurant, Casambi-controlled lighting can be used to enhance the atmosphere by creating different lighting scenes for lunch, dinner and special events. The lighting can be adjusted to create a cozy atmosphere during dinner and become brighter for lunch to provide a fresher ambiance. During special occasions such as weddings or corporate events, specific light settings can be programmed to create the perfect atmosphere, enhancing the overall customer experience.
Residential lighting
In a smart home setting, Casambi lighting can be integrated to create different mood profiles. Consider setting warm lighting in the evening for coziness. Or bright, cool lighting in the morning to start the day off right. The lighting can be controlled via an app, making it easy to adjust the lighting.
In a nutshell
Casambi is a smart lighting system that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to control lamps wirelessly. This system creates a network in which each lamp communicates with each other, providing a reliable and flexible network. This allows you to easily adjust lighting via an app. You can create lighting scenes, set timers and program automations based on different sensors. This allows the lighting to be customized to specific needs and requirements, promoting both comfort and energy efficiency.
