5CCT typically refers to a lighting fixture or bulb that offers five different correlated color temperature (CCT) options. Essentially, it is a light that can emit five different "shades" or "tones" of white light.
Understanding Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)
CCT is measured in Kelvin (K) and describes the "warmth" or "coolness" of a white light source. Lower Kelvin values (e.g., 2700K) indicate warmer, more yellowish light, while higher Kelvin values (e.g., 5000K or 6500K) indicate cooler, bluer light.
5CCT Functionality
A 5CCT light fixture allows the user to select from five pre-set CCT values. Common CCT options offered in 5CCT fixtures might include:
- 2700K: Warm White (creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere)
- 3000K: Soft White (a slightly brighter, less yellow warm white)
- 3500K: Neutral White (a balanced white, suitable for general use)
- 4000K: Cool White (a brighter, more energizing white)
- 5000K: Daylight (approximates natural daylight, best for task lighting)
Benefits of 5CCT Lighting
- Versatility: Allows users to customize the light's color to suit different activities or preferences.
- Adaptability: Can be adjusted to match the existing lighting in a space or to create a specific mood.
- Convenience: Provides multiple lighting options in a single fixture, eliminating the need to purchase and install multiple lights.
In essence, 5CCT means that a light source has five different white light color options, ranging from warm to cool, which can be selected by the user.
