Casambi Lighting Control. Beautifully Connected.

Casambi is a wireless lighting control platform that connects compatible luminaires, drivers, controllers, switches and sensors. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy and Casambi’s own mesh technology. The app is used to set up and operate the system, while physical controls and automation provide other ways to use it day to day.

Normal local lighting control does not require a Wi-Fi router or a central control hub. A compatible phone or tablet communicates with the Casambi network over Bluetooth. Internet connectivity and a suitable gateway arrangement are needed for remote access from outside the local network; they are a separate part of the specification.

Yes, with the correct Casambi-compatible controller or driver. Start with the LED strip voltage, wattage and channel configuration, then check the receiver’s output ratings and available profiles. A single-colour strip, tunable white strip and RGB+CCT strip need different output arrangements. Also check cable lengths, voltage drop and the power supply capacity.

Compatible interfaces allow Casambi to work with DALI or 0–10V equipment, but the details depend on the product. A converter, DALI gateway and addressable DALI controller do not necessarily offer the same functions. Establish whether you need broadcast control, individual addressing, colour-temperature control or integration into an existing DALI system before choosing the interface.

Yes. Casambi wall panels, handsets, scene remotes and supported switch interfaces can provide everyday control alongside the app. Choose the functions you need at each location, such as on/off, dimming, white-light adjustment or scene recall. The control device must support the intended function and be configured for the network.

RGBW combines red, green and blue channels with a dedicated white channel. RGB+CCT adds separate warm-white and cool-white channels, allowing the white colour temperature to change as well as the RGB colour. To use these functions, the strip, controller, wiring and selected device profile all need to match.

It can be an effective choice when adding separate control cabling would be disruptive. Wireless communication allows compatible control devices to be linked without running a dedicated data cable between every node. The lighting still needs suitable power, and electrical changes may be required. Review access, existing drivers, dimming compatibility and radio coverage before installation.

Where new cable routes would disturb the fabric of a building, wireless control can help reduce the need for additional control wiring. Review existing electrical services, mounting details and radio coverage with the project team, and confirm the approvals needed for the proposed work.

Set individual light levels and organise exhibits into groups that are easy to adjust. Suitable tunable-white luminaires can add flexibility, but colour quality, conservation limits and exposure planning remain part of the lighting specification.

Casambi Evolution supports up to 250 devices in a network, subject to the selected network configuration and device compatibility. Larger sites can use multiple networks. Treat this as a planning limit, not a promise of coverage: device placement, radio mode, building materials and the intended control behaviour still need to be considered.

There is no single distance that applies to every building and device. Product design, antenna position, radio settings, walls, metalwork and other obstructions affect communication. Plan a connected mesh with suitable spacing between powered devices, then test it in the actual installation. Avoid designing a project around an open-air range figure alone.

Dimming, occupancy-based control, daylight response and scheduling can reduce unnecessary lighting use when they are designed and commissioned appropriately. The result depends on the existing installation, operating hours, daylight, occupancy and the chosen settings. There is no fixed saving that applies to every Casambi project.

No. Bluetooth is a radio technology, not a guarantee of Casambi compatibility. Specify Casambi-compatible products and check the required firmware, network type and device profile. A generic Bluetooth, Zigbee or Wi-Fi controller cannot be assumed to join a Casambi network.

Send a simple layout, the type and quantity of luminaires or LED strip, the driver details, supply voltage, circuit loads and the way you want each area to behave. Include any existing DALI or 0–10V equipment and tell us whether you need app control, wall panels, sensors, timed scenes or remote access. Clear information makes it easier to identify the right hardware.
