Casambi Lighting Controls

Casambi lighting controls for wireless smart lighting.

UK-made commercial luminaires with Casambi wireless lighting control options. Compare compatible drivers, sensors and switches for Bluetooth Low Energy networking, Casambi app configuration and smart lighting scenes. Confirm the exact luminaire option and commission the lighting control system separately from emergency operation and testing.

Wireless controls Wireless controls

Casambi is used where a commercial project needs wireless lighting control, flexible zoning, scene setting or app-based adjustment without a fully hardwired control layer.

Control-ready luminaires Control-ready luminaires

Select control-ready luminaires where Casambi-enabled drivers, relay units, emergency options and sensor positions can be considered with the product choice.

Retrofit and scene setting Retrofit and scene setting

Useful for refurbishment, hospitality and workplace schemes where rewiring limits, changing room use, scene control or tenant fit-out flexibility influence the preferred protocol.

Wireless Control Strategy

Casambi wireless lighting control: luminaires, sensors and switches.

Casambi is a Bluetooth Low Energy control platform used for wireless mesh lighting control. In a commercial luminaire specification it is usually considered alongside DALI, fixed output, mains dimming, sensors and emergency lighting requirements.

Bluetooth mesh network

Luminaires and control devices communicate wirelessly, so zoning and scene changes can be easier on refurbishment projects where new control cabling is difficult.

Scenes, groups and zones

Meeting rooms, classrooms, hospitality areas and workplace zones may need different scenes, dimming levels or time-based behaviour from the same product family.

Sensors and switches

Occupancy sensing, daylight control, wall switches and app-led adjustment should be checked against the selected luminaire, driver and control gear.

Emergency and compliance notes

Emergency versions, maintained or non-maintained operation and test requirements still need to be treated as part of the luminaire schedule, not as an afterthought.

Specification Match

Specify and commission a Casambi lighting control system.

Specify the Casambi-enabled driver or module with the luminaire. The lighting installation also needs compatible switches, sensors and a defined commissioning scope. Confirm who will configure the Casambi network, hand over administrator access and maintain the settings; a wireless fitting alone is not a complete smart lighting control system.

Protocol fit

Casambi suits schemes where wireless grouping, scene setting, app configuration or retrofit flexibility make sense for the building and maintenance strategy.

Controls and ordering

Casambi app and smart lighting control: installation and compatibility.

What does the Casambi app control?

Using the Casambi app, authorised users can configure compatible luminaires into groups and scenes, adjust dimming and manage supported sensors and switches. The available functions depend on the Casambi-enabled devices and their profiles. Colour-temperature control needs a compatible tunable-white luminaire and driver; it cannot be added to a fixed-white fitting through the user interface alone.

Does Casambi wireless lighting control still need wiring?

Yes. Luminaires and powered control devices still need their electrical supply. Casambi technology uses Bluetooth Low Energy for wireless communication between compatible devices, reducing the need for a separate wired control bus. Check the Casambi mesh network against the building construction, device positions and operating requirements; wireless technology does not remove installation or commissioning work.

Can a Casambi system connect to DALI or building management systems?

A DALI interface or gateway must support the intended functions and compatible devices. Confirm the interface, addressing, control behaviour and reporting requirements with the controls provider. Do not assume every DALI driver is a Casambi product, or that ordinary app control includes a building-management connection. External gateways and integration work need a separate scope.

Does Casambi dimming also control emergency lighting testing?

Normal light control and emergency operation are separate. A Casambi option on a luminaire does not establish compatibility with wireless emergency lighting systems. Identify the emergency control gear, battery, test method and reporting system independently, then check the exact product options before ordering.

How does Casambi Pro differ from the Casambi app?

Casambi Pro is a planning and commissioning tool for commissioning engineers, particularly on larger projects with repeated spaces. The Casambi app provides the user interface for normal control and configuration. Agree which workflow the commissioning partner will use and check its supported features before specifying devices. Casambi Pro does not make incompatible luminaires work together or include a commissioning service in a luminaire quotation.

Can staff control the lights without using a phone?

Compatible wall switches and wireless controls can provide local dimming and scene selection. Identify who needs to control the lights, which groups each switch should operate and how manual actions interact with sensors or schedules. Include this handover information with administrator access and device records so the installed Casambi lighting system remains manageable after the project team leaves.
