In a recent video, Rocky Wall from WInk MD gives an insightful explanation of how Casambi lighting controls work and how they are transforming sports facilities across the country. With over 50 sports pitches successfully equipped with Casambi, we’re excited to share the many benefits of installing this smart lighting control system during your next lighting upgrade.
The Power of Casambi: Why It’s Changing the Game
Casambi lighting controls offer a range of advantages that make it a smart choice for sports facilities looking to modernise their lighting systems. Whether you’re upgrading your existing lights or installing new ones, Casambi integrates seamlessly into the setup, providing flexibility, energy savings, and ease of use.
Here are some key reasons why installing Casambi controls is a game changer for sports pitches:
1. No Additional Wiring Required
One of the standout features of Casambi is its Bluetooth mesh network, which eliminates the need for additional cabling. This not only reduces the installation time and costs but also makes the system easier to maintain. With over thirty pitches already benefiting from this reliable, wireless solution, Casambi proves itself as a trusted, hassle-free system.
2. Energy Savings
Casambi helps save energy by allowing users to adjust light levels according to the specific needs of the session. For example, during training, light levels can be dimmed, reducing power consumption and lowering costs. This energy-saving feature is a great asset for sports facilities with frequent training sessions, ensuring lights are only as bright as necessary.
3. Flexible Lighting for Subdivided Pitches
With Casambi, you can control different sections of a pitch independently. This is especially useful for training scenarios, such as goalie practice, where only part of the field needs to be illuminated. By lighting only the areas in use, you can save energy and create more focused training environments.
4. Timed Events and Scheduling
Casambi makes it easy to set multiple timed events, whether daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly. With this scheduling feature, you can ensure that lights are turned on only when necessary—such as for training sessions or matches—preventing waste and improving energy efficiency. There’s no need to worry about forgetting to turn off the lights; Casambi takes care of that for you.
5. Remote Access Anywhere, Anytime
For managers or administrators, Casambi offers remote access via a gateway. Whether through your in-house router or a SIM-operated router, you can monitor and control the lighting system from anywhere. This remote capability makes it easy to manage your pitch’s lighting even if you’re not on-site.
6. Gentle Generator Start-Up
If your facility uses a generator for power, Casambi’s phased start-up and shut-down feature helps reduce wear and tear. This function ensures a smoother startup process, extending the lifespan of your generator and reducing maintenance costs.
7. Two Levels of User Access
Casambi’s app allows for two types of user access:
- User Access: This level, available to coaches or managers, gives them the ability to turn the lights on and off. It doesn’t grant access to timers or event schedules, keeping it simple for day-to-day operation.
- Administrator Access: Facility administrators can adjust settings, change the lighting schedule, and manage all aspects of the network from this level.
Additionally, you can opt for a simple four-gang switch in your clubhouse, offering easy manual control over different pitch areas, such as:
- SW1: Main pitch for a match
- SW2: Main pitch for training
- SW3: One half of the pitch
- SW4: The other half of the pitch
