WHAT IS CCT IN LED LIGHTS?

CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature in the context of LED lights. It is a measure of the color appearance of the light emitted by an LED bulb, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). CCT indicates whether the light produced by the LED is warm, cool, or neutral.

Here's what different CCT values represent:

• Warm White (Below 3,000K): This range provides a soft, yellowish light similar to traditional incandescent bulbs, creating a cozy and relaxed ambiance.

• Neutral White (3,000K to 4,000K): Offers a balanced white light that is neither too warm nor too cool, commonly used in offices or kitchens.

• Cool White (Above 4,000K): Provides a bright, bluish white light, often used in spaces requiring high visibility, like workspaces, garages, or hospitals.

• Daylight (5,000K to 6,500K): Mimics natural daylight, offering a bright white to slightly bluish light, ideal for areas where accurate color representation and high brightness are important, such as retail spaces and studios.

CCT is important because it influences the mood and functionality of a space. For example, warm light is often used in living rooms for a relaxing environment, while cooler lights are preferred for work or task lighting.
