Preserver history. Illuminate with precision.
Smart Lighting for Art & Culture
Museums and historical buildings require carefully balanced lighting that enhances exhibits and meets modern needs – while preserving integrity and character of the architecture.
Museums and heritage buildings depend on carefully designed lighting to present cultural artifacts in an engaging way while meeting strict conservation and health and safety requirements. Precise control of light quality, color temperature, and brightness is essential, as lighting has a direct impact on how artworks are perceived. At the same time, historical sites must avoid light pollution and environmental disruption. Lighting solutions therefore need to balance visual impact with sustainability – enhancing the historical narrative while protecting the building, its surroundings, and daily operations.
App-Based Control
Manual adjustments and scaffolding are no longer needed. Lighting scenes and individual luminaires can be configured instantly from the Casambi App, allowing curators and facility teams to adapt exhibition lighting quickly and easy.
Proven Energy Savings
Casambi delivers measurable efficiency gains in real- world projects. At the Al Doho Quarter in Riyadh, energy consumption was reduced by 60 % after implementing Casambi lighting control.
Reduced Light Pollution
Smart wireless control helps protect sensitive surroundings. At the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Casambi reduced light pollution by more than 70 %, supporting sustainability goals and preserving the site’s environment.
Precision Lighting
With LED dimming down to just 0.1 %, Casambi enables exact light levels for every artwork or exhibit. Combined with wireless networking, designers and curators can create tailored, remotely controlled lighting ecosystems that enhance both presentation and preservation.
Thousands of devices. Endless possibilities.
World’s most flexible smart lighting solutions, empowering future-proof projects from single rooms to global installations with open, scalable technology.
All the Features Needed
for Art & Culture Lighting

Design Considerations
Heritage Preservation
Lighting solutions must be easy to install, maintain, re-lamp, and reconfigure without surface reconstruction or intrusive wiring. This ensures long-term conservation of architectural features while allowing spaces to evolve over time.
Exhibition Flexibility
Museums and cultural venues require lighting that adapts to changing exhibitions. Multiple lighting scenarios should be created and adjusted efficiently, with extra lighting easily added, controlled, or separated as needed – without compromising energy efficiency.
Safety & Sustainability
Appropriate light levels are essential for daily tasks and visitor safety, including reliable emergency lighting. At the same time, energy consumption must be minimized through intelligent control, monitoring, and analysis – supporting sustainability goals while respecting heritage environments.
