CCT Tunable and Wattage Selectable
LUMINEX outdoor LED lights are CCT tunable and wattage selectable, they give you unmatched flexibility, reduce costs, simplify operations, and allow you to deliver better, faster, and more customized results to your clients.
CCT Tunable
What It Means
- CCT refers to the color appearance of the light, measured in Kelvin (K).
- Tunable means you can adjust the fixture to emit different shades of white light—typically ranging from warm (yellowish, e.g., 2700K–3000K) to neutral (4000K) to cool (bluish, 5000K–6500K).
How It Works
- Switches or Controls: Most CCT tunable fixtures have a built-in switch (sometimes DIP switches or rotary dials) or can be controlled via remote/app.
- Pre-set Options: Commonly, you’ll find 3, 4, or 5 selectable CCT settings on one fixture.
Applications
- Aesthetic Flexibility: Match the lighting to the architecture or landscape—warmer for residential, cooler for commercial or security.
- Code Compliance: Some municipalities require lower CCT for outdoor lighting to reduce light pollution; tunable fixtures make compliance easy.
- Future-Proofing: Adjust the color temperature if the use of the space changes (e.g., from a patio to a workspace).
Wattage Selectable
What It Means
- Wattage indicates how much energy the fixture uses, which also controls the fixture’s brightness (lumen output).
- Selectable means you can set the fixture to different wattage levels, typically via a switch.
How It Works
- Built-In Selector: Like CCT, most products have a small switch inside the fixture or driver compartment.
- Multiple Output Levels: For example, one fixture might be set to 20W, 30W, or 40W, with each level providing a different brightness.
Applications
- Versatility: One product can replace several SKUs, covering multiple mounting heights or area sizes.
- Energy Savings: Set the lowest wattage needed for the task, reducing operating costs.
- Adjustability: If lighting requirements change (e.g., more security needed), wattage can be increased without replacing the fixture.
Key Benefits of CCT Tunable and Wattage Selectable for Contractors
1. Inventory Reduction & Simplification
- One SKU, Multiple Solutions: Instead of stocking multiple products for different color temperatures (CCT) and wattages, contractors can carry fewer SKUs that cover a wide range of needs.
- Less Storage Space: Reduces warehouse clutter and simplifies logistics.
2. On-site Flexibility
- Adaptable Installation: Contractors can adjust color temperature (e.g., 3000K warm, 4000K neutral, 5000K cool) and wattage on-site to meet client preferences or local codes without changing the fixture.
- Last-Minute Changes: If the client changes their mind about the look or brightness, adjustments can be made instantly during installation.
3. Cost Savings
- Lower Upfront Investment: Buy fewer fixtures to cover more applications, reducing capital tied up in inventory.
- Reduced Returns/Exchanges: Fewer mistakes in ordering the wrong product specification means fewer costly returns.
4. Code & Compliance Versatility
- Meet Local Codes Easily: Some municipalities or projects require specific CCT or wattage limits. These fixtures let you comply without extra orders.
- Future-Proofing: If requirements change, the fixtures can be easily adjusted without replacement.
5. Enhanced Customer Satisfaction
- Tailored Results: Contractors can fine-tune light output and color temperature to match the environment, enhancing the end-user experience.
- Demo Capability: Show clients various settings in real-time, helping them make informed decisions and increasing satisfaction.
6. Energy Efficiency & Control
- Optimized Energy Use: Select the lowest wattage that meets the lighting requirement, saving energy and reducing operating costs.
- Dark Sky & Light Pollution Compliance: Adjust CCT to lower values (e.g., 3000K) to minimize blue light and meet dark sky ordinances.
7. Reduced Maintenance & Future Service Calls
- Easy Upgrades: If the area’s needs change (e.g., a parking lot needs to be brighter for security), contractors can adjust wattage without replacing the fixture.

How to Choose LED Outdoor Lighting
Knowing how to choose indoor LED lighting means you get the best performance, save money, enjoy greater comfort, and make your home safer and more valuable.
1. Define the Purpose of Each Space
- Living Room: Warm, ambient lighting; dimmable options are great.
- Kitchen: Bright, focused task lighting (e.g., under-cabinet lights).
- Bedroom: Soft, relaxing light; consider adjustable color temperature.
- Bathroom: Bright, clear light around mirrors; moisture-resistant fixtures.
- Office/Study: Cool, daylight-like light for focus and clarity.
2. Understand Key Specifications
- Lumen Output (Brightness):
- More lumens = brighter light.
- Example: Living rooms need 1,500–3,000 lumens; kitchens 5,000–10,000 lumens.
- Color Temperature (Kelvin, K):
- 2700K–3000K: Warm white (cozy, relaxing).
- 3500K–4100K: Neutral white (balanced, for kitchens/offices).
- 5000K–6500K: Cool white/daylight (energizing, for task areas).
- Color Rendering Index (CRI):
- CRI 80+: Good. CRI 90+: Excellent for true color appearance.
- Wattage & Efficiency:
- Look for high lumens per watt (lm/W). LEDs are much more efficient than incandescent or CFL.
