What is CCT?
Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) refers to the hue and tone of light emitted from a source, expressed in Kelvin (K). It helps determine the “warmth” or “coolness” of the light:
- Warm White (2700K - 3000K): Creates a cosy, yellowish glow, ideal for homes, restaurants, and hospitality environments.
- Cool White (3500K - 4100K): Offers a neutral, crisp light, suitable for offices, retail spaces, and work environments.
- Daylight (5000K - 6500K): Produces a bright, bluish tone, mimicking natural daylight, perfect for workshops, hospitals, and outdoor lighting.
Why CCT Matters:
Choosing the right CCT impacts mood, productivity, and visibility. For example:
- Warm CCT promotes relaxation (great for living rooms).
- Cool CCT enhances focus and alertness (ideal for offices or task lighting).
Benefits of 3-CCT or 4-CCT Adjustable Products:
Lighting products with 3-CCT or 4-CCT options allow you to switch between different colour temperatures within the same fitting. This flexibility is useful because:
- Adaptability: Adjust lighting for different tasks or times of day (e.g., warm light for evenings, cool light for working).
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need to purchase multiple lights for different settings.
- Versatility: Ideal for dynamic spaces like offices, meeting rooms, or homes where lighting needs can change.
