On the island of Pantelleria, southwest of Sicily, stands a very special holiday home. Built with thick stone walls and several white domes typical of the local architecture, this house combines Mediterranean tradition with fully digitalized lighting thanks to our Certified Partner in Italy, Luceled Pro Slr, and to Adquio and Casambi.
The result: a simple, seamless user experience for the owners and their guests, despite an extremely complex environment for the installation.
From the very beginning, the goal of the project was clear for our partner Luceled Pro Slr:
Deliver maximum ease of use in a home designed for rest and relaxation.
Integrate all indoor and outdoor lighting into a single system.
Overcome the technical challenges posed by:
Very thick stone walls and volcanic rock.
Long distances between outdoor luminaires.
Areas where the wireless signal was seriously weakened.
On top of that, the house has a huge number of light points, especially outdoors, where lighting is key to enhancing both the architecture and the surrounding landscape.
For this home, Luceled Pro Slr opted for a hybrid architecture where Adquio and Casambi work hand in hand, each one doing what it does best:
39 luminaires including LED strips, spotlights, and other light points.
Main control with Casambi, taking full advantage of its scenes and flexibility.
More than 220 luminaires along pathways, façades, the porch, and the pool area.
All of them are flawlessly managed by Adquio’s 18 relays, including the pool lighting.
Different moods for indoors and outdoors: sunset, dinner on the porch, night-time arrival, rest mode, etc.
Scenes that are activated from the control screens in a completely natural way, with a very good reaction speed despite the physical constraints of the building.
One of the biggest challenges in this project was the signal attenuation caused by the stone walls and the volcanic rock typical of Pantelleria. This could have compromised the user experience.
The combination of:
good planning of the Casambi network,
the smart use of Ted modules as signal repeaters, and
the robustness of Adquio’s relay-based control for critical areas
made it possible to achieve a stable, fast, and reliable system.
The result is lighting that responds immediately, both indoors and outdoors, without the user ever noticing the technical complexity behind it.
Simple user experience: Intuitive scenes, activated from the app, perfect for a holiday home where not all users are familiar with the system.
This villa in Pantelleria shows how Adquio and Casambi can coexist perfectly, even in complex architectural environments:
Thick stone walls.
A large number of outdoor luminaires.
The need for a simple, elegant user experience.
Thanks to the combination of Adquio 18 Relay, Casambi Ted and ASD modules, Lithernet, and well-designed scenes by our partner Luceled Pro Slr, light becomes an essential part of the home experience—without adding any complexity for the user.
If you are designing a unique home, a boutique hotel, or any space where architecture takes the lead and lighting must be up to the same standard, talk to us.
With Adquio, Casambi and our Partners, we turn technical challenges into unforgettable lighting experiences.
