This fantastic presentation and the meticulous care with which this trattoria chain "dresses" its restaurants is not without its key elements: lighting. A collaborative effort between the technical and sales departments of OLFER Electronics, along with Misolincar (architecture studio) and Studio Kiki (interior design), led to the selection of the best lighting system for the establishment.
Once the CASAMBI software, the innovative Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless technology for intelligent lighting systems, was chosen, OLFER Electronics professionals advised on the selection and supply of all the hardware components installed in the restaurant. The installation was carried out by the construction company 4Retail, which undertook the entire renovation project and also entrusted OLFER Electronics with the commissioning of the CASAMBI system.
This wireless technology, used by all our smartphones and tablets and free of charge, offers great versatility along with user-friendly and simple programming, creating automated systems without the need for wiring—simple and clean. With CASAMBI, we create intelligent communication networks between all devices, so that if one of them stops working, it doesn't affect the rest of the network. This allows for easy remote connection and the creation of an unlimited number of scenes and animations to enhance the ambiance of our spaces. It offers extensive functionality, such as natural light control, maintaining the necessary lighting levels according to ambient light, circadian rhythms to improve the health and well-being of users, and control of multiple devices—not just lighting—with the possibility of integration with other building management systems.

For the Bel Mondo restaurant, OLFER Electronics created three networks for different areas: dining room, terrace, and reception/back office. At the client's request, several scenes were created to generate different atmospheres (lunch, afternoon, dinner, interior, facade, balconies, etc.). The different scenes were created and easily adjusted according to the owner's and manager's wishes without any complications. Training was also provided to the staff, enabling them to easily adapt the brightness and color levels of the different scenes to their preferences.
The owners were very involved, which was a great advantage, and they were delighted with the solution. They had previously used wired control systems in other projects, and this made a significant difference. Project manager Vicent Le Gal commented that he was surprised by the speed, ease of use, and performance of the system, adding, "We are confident that we will use CASAMBI for our next restaurants."
The 513 devices installed are as follows: PWM-120-24BLE dimmable LED drivers, CBU-PWM4 controllers, Casambi CBU-TED and TRED-E-CSB-2A dimmable triacs, Casambi CBU-RELAY-OLF relay actuators, the GTW410-OL Gateway, XPRESS wireless pushbuttons, and the CASAMBI TIMER precision clock. The project underwent many last-minute changes, such as the relocation of the kitchen stoves several times. This caused some delays as it directly impacted the electrical installation. The lighting also underwent various changes during the project's execution. Since it didn't require special wiring for control, it was easily adapted to the project's dynamic transformations. For example, the bar area wasn't initially included, but thanks to the flexibility of the Casambi system, it could be expanded and integrated into the existing system.


The result of implementing this lighting system is a pleasant and spectacular environment for enjoying gastronomy, and it allows for the creation of multiple scenes.
Lighting control is in our hands. Casambi is the future, and OLFER Electronics incorporates advanced wireless control solutions into its product range and invests resources in training its technicians, as well as in promoting the many benefits of this type of technology.
