We support you throughout the entire control system

A single team for design, supply, programming and commissioning, including technical support and a warranty.

We analyse the project and the uses of the space, and define the most appropriate control strategy for each area.

We define the system architecture, devices, lines, groups, scenes and functionalities.

We supply light fittings with an integrated control system and all the equipment required for installation.

We configure scenes, timetables, sensors, control settings and the actual behaviour of the system.

We commission the system on site and ensure it is ready to operate as a coordinated whole.

We provide specialised technical support and a warranty for the control system as part of the project.

DALI: the language of our luminaires

DALI is a digital control technology developed for lighting. It allows luminaires to be controlled individually or in groups, enables the creation of lighting scenes, and automates the behaviour of the installation. At CELUX, we manufacture DALI-ready luminaires and integrate the system into the project.

Colour temperature, RGB and circadian rhythm

As well as switching the lights on and adjusting their brightness, the control system allows you to adjust the colour of the light. Colour temperature and RGB are integrated into ambient lighting strategies and, where the project requires it, into Human Centric Lighting in line with the circadian rhythm.

08:00
Concentration
5000 K
Concentration 09–13 h 5000 K

Cooler light for activation and focusing.

Creativity 13–17 h 4000 K

A medium-intensity tone for activation and dynamic work.

Relaxation 17–22 h 3000 K

Warm light to help you switch off and relax.

Colour temperature control

Colour temperature control

We adjust the colour temperature of the light (warm or cool) depending on the purpose, time of day or activity. This forms the basis for adapting to the rhythm of the day and creating more natural or productive atmospheres.

RGB control

RGB control

We incorporate RGB control for dynamic scenes, accent lighting and expressive ambience. This is combined with general dimming when the project requires colour as well as white light.

HCL / Human Centric Lighting

HCL / Human Centric Lighting

Using Tunable White lighting and scheduled programming, we implement circadian cycles: the brightness and colour temperature change throughout the day to promote comfort, concentration and well-being.

This is the cabinet that houses DALI protection devices, power supplies and controllers. It centralises lighting automation: scenes, timetables and system monitoring.

Each luminaire or group communicates via a two-wire bus. A controller sends commands for switching on, dimming and status. Gateways connect several buses or link the system to the building management system.

It is a two-wire data network that connects all the devices on the line: up to 64 devices and a distance of around 300 metres.

Connect several DALI lines to one another or to the building management system, without mixing lighting control with the rest of the installation.

Each line is an independent network, with its own power supply and up to 64 devices. A new line is added per zone or floor.

It allows control to be set on a per-luminaire or per-zone basis, enables groups to be reconfigured without the need for new power cabling, and allows sensors to be integrated. It facilitates the control, diagnosis and maintenance of the installation.

Yes. Casambi is a wireless control system based on Bluetooth mesh, which is useful when flexibility is required without the need for bus cabling, or during refurbishments. We assess the project and recommend DALI, Casambi or the combination that best suits the installation.

Yes. Our lighting fixtures can be integrated into the building’s building management system to enable coordinated management with the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) or security systems, thereby facilitating overall energy efficiency and centralised monitoring.

Yes. We offer control solutions via mobile apps that do not require complex programming, allowing you to configure and adjust lighting parameters even without specialist technical training in control systems.

Yes. We design the architecture, manufacture the control panel, programme groups and scenes, and provide support during commissioning. We document the system for future expansion.

Regular inspections, programming backups, bus checks and driver replacements. We provide support and maintenance whenever the installation requires it.

Lighting protocols we use

We choose the protocol depending on the project: precise wired control or wireless flexibility. At CELUX, we work with DALI and Casambi, and combine them when the installation requires it.

DALI

Digital lighting

A digital standard designed for lighting. Individual or group control, dimming, scenes and sensors. It is the native language of our luminaires and forms the basis of most of our control systems.

Casambi

Wireless · Bluetooth mesh

Wireless control via Bluetooth mesh. Ideal for refurbishments, flexible spaces or installations where it is not practical to add bus wiring. It is managed via an app and allows for scenes and groupings without the need for a traditional control panel.

Applications

A solution tailored to each project

Controlling the lighting in an office is not the same as controlling it in a hotel or an educational establishment. We tailor the system to the actual use of the space.

Office

In offices, lighting control improves visual comfort, reduces energy consumption and adapts the lighting to the actual use of each area. With presence and light sensors, lighting scenes for workstations and meeting rooms, and control based on available natural light, the system adapts to the day-to-day running of the building without complicating its operation.

  • Control based on occupancy and the use of natural light
  • Separate areas for work and meetings
  • Greater visual comfort and energy efficiency

The control panel

We design and manufacture the control panel for each installation. It is not a generic cabinet: it is tailored to the project and is supplied ready for assembly, programming and commissioning.

  • Designed for scalable networks.
  • It integrates all control elements, except for field units (sensors, push-buttons, etc.).
  • IP65 for wall mounting.
