I feel that the system is definitely helping us to improve our effectiveness, efficiency and interaction with guests.”

– Anna Rollema, Manager, Pillows Anna van den Vondel Amsterdam

The Pillows team wanted hotel guests to have a personal experience during their stay quite unlike the standardized experience of a traditional hotel. They wanted to provide seamless hotel services that focused on guests’ specific needs throughout their stay, so they reached out to Tovèrli Lighting & Control Solutions.   

The hotel wanted to be able to allow guests to control the room’s lights and climate and request services through a single, user-friendly panel and also improve staff efficiency. For management, visibility across the property from a central dashboard was essential.

Signify Certified Value Added Partner Tovèrli Lighting & Control Solutions played a pivotal role in the project, installing a simple yet powerful control system in each of the hotel’s 30 rooms. This involved integrating different hotel systems, enabling guests to control the lighting and other services from a single, intuitive panel.

“The brief was one control panel per room – we needed to combine all the building’s systems,” explains Rob Oey, owner of Tovèrli Lighting & Control Solutions. “We were able to employ a new integration technique that saved the hotel a lot of money… All we had to do was ensure the components could talk to each other.”

Thanks to advanced LED connected lighting and Interact Landmark lighting management software, we are able to install an energy-efficient work of art that makes the Bay Bridge a true beacon of the San Francisco Bay Area.”

In 2011, the non-profit arts organization, ILLUMINATE, along with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and world-renowned artist Leo Villareal collaborated to create a stunning living display of light on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in celebration of its 75th anniversary. The Bay Lights, unveiled in March 2013 and originally intended as a short-term installation, quickly became a local and global “must see” attraction. Before it even went live, it was dubbed by Hemispheres magazine as “the number one thing to see in the world during 2013.”

The living sculpture also instantaneously became a source of pride for the community. It revitalized the waterfront and its economy with local bars and restaurants reporting a 30% increase in business. And, a group of more than 20 independent analysts from leading firms such as McKinsey, Deloitte, Google, Facebook and city agencies unanimously agreed that The Bay Lights boosts the regional economy by more than $100m annually.

With such a broad social and economic impact, there was no question that The Bay Lights should become a permanent feature in the San Francisco skyline. Bridge officials agreed to maintain the lights on an ongoing basis if ILLUMINATE could raise the funds necessary to keep the artwork as a permanent installation.

ILLLUMINATE kicked off a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds, and along with donations from larger donors, was able to meet the goal. In March 2015, the Bay Lights went dark for 11 months while the previous system was removed and replaced. 

The new system—utilizing 25,000 nodes of Philips eW Flex Compact—was specifically engineered to withstand harsh weather environments like that of the San Francisco Bay area.

Cisco needed a lighting solution for their four-story office that would support a modern and more intelligent workspace. Their goal was to install a connected lighting system that would enable IoT sensors and software applications to optimize building operations, space utilization and allow employees to achieve maximum comfort at their desks.

Cisco elected to implement Interact Office software applications and data-enabled services. 

The connected luminaires include IoT sensors that provide easy access to data, energy savings, sustainability, and personal comfort. Each luminaire can be uniquely identified by an IP address, allowing them to be individually monitored and controlled, with data managed via the centrally hosted Interact Office software dashboard. 

The data received allows managers to track occupancy patterns and changes in temperature, while also enabling employees to personalize the lighting in

Abby Lighting’s company culture revolves around creativity & innovation – all of which influenced the design of their new office. The concept was identified by creating a stylish, modern and premium working area which still would incorporate all the necessary practical elements. The space had to be inspiring for its team and also serve as a state of the art experience center for its clients.

The challenge was to manage the different lighting requirements of their varied customers to be showcased at the same studio. Casambi allowed to create different scenes, lighting levels and colours. Take for e.g. the coffee point which can double up as a party zone with the incorporation of RGB controlled on Casambi-RGB is extensively used by their hospitality consumers to set moods.

The use of sensors coupled with Casambi allowed to adjust different lighting requirements of users and spaces – leading to a 36% saving as compared to a conventional lighitng system without automation. The low cost of wiring and the system itself makes it very attractive at a ROI of less than 2 years.

“We are strong believers that “No design is complete till someone is using it” . The lighting and the lighting controls have to inspire the clients to incorporate the same in their offices or even homes without too much effort. Since Casambi is a system that can easily be integrated with existing wiring framework , it was our preferred choice.”

The lighting is designed in a way that is easy to adapt to individual needs and accentuate zones and work areas. A careful thought has been given keeping both a balance of indirect and direct light sources, as well as a balance between daylight and artificial light. Areas like the entrance area, the meeting points where usually spontaneous talks or short meetings are held, are fitted with luminaires which are visually attractive and technically functional creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. With the use of daylight harvesting and sensors the conference room adapts to the lighting of the circadian rhythm. The open plan work stations are provided with individual task lighting allowing adjustment to people’s personal needs and preferences apart from the ambient lighting which persists throughout the open areas.

“Casambi helped in for its retrofit solution, hence no special/conventional cabling was required. The Casambi app is one of the few apps which has the simplest UI allowing ease of operation to all end-users.”
