Customize Your Ambiance with 5CCT Selectable Lighting

Do you prefer warm toned lights in the evening, and cool tones in the morning? 

Would you like the flexibility in being able to customize the tone of your lights on demand? 

With the flexibility of 5CCT selectable lighting, you can enjoy the best of both worlds! 

What is 5CCT Selectable Lighting?

5CCT Selectable lighting refers to light fixtures with the ability to adjust between five different Correlated Color Temperatures (CCTs). 

With 5CCT selectable lighting, you can effortlessly switch between various CCT options, giving you freedom to create different atmospheres, match lighting to your specific tasks, or adapt to changing preferences throughout your day. 

Benefits of 5CCT Selectable Lighting:

Customizable Ambiance

Whether you seek a warm, inviting atmosphere for a living room, or a bright, focused environment for workspaces, clinical settings or for healthcare facilities, 5CCT selectable lighting caters to a variety of different settings. Users can fine-tune the color temperature to complement the mood or function of their space. 

Enhanced Comfort and Productivity

Research shows that lighting color temperature influences our circadian rhythms and productivity levels. Warm light in the evening promotes relaxation and better sleep quality, while cooler light during the day enhances alertness and concentration. With 5CCT selectable lighting, users can align their lighting with their natural circadian rhythms, promoting comfort, productivity, and overall well-being. 

Energy Efficiency

By choosing the appropriate color temperature for a given task or time of day, users can optimize energy usage. For example, warmer light typically requires less energy than cooler light. With 5CCT selectable lighting, users can minimize energy consumption without compromising on lighting quality or comfort.

Advantages of Task Lighting in the Home

Do you wish you had better lighting in your kitchen or home office?

Task lighting improves visibility and reduces eye strain, thereby increasing productivity and efficiency.

Whether in the form of under-cabinet lights in kitchens or pendant lights over work areas, task lighting supplements ambient lighting sources to illuminate work surfaces and task areas effectively. This targeted approach to lighting allows homeowners to create comfortable and ergonomic environments tailored to their needs, ultimately enhancing the overall usability and enjoyment of their living spaces.

Common examples of task lighting fixtures include:

• Under-cabinet lights in kitchens
• Pendant lights over kitchen islands or dining tables.
• Additionally, illuminating work surfaces and task areas effectively, task lighting helps reduce eye strain and improve productivity, making it an essential component of any well-designed interior space.

Recessed lighting in any space can provide focused, illuminated areas for any activity you love to partake in, and add an extra warm glow in your home.

What’s the Difference Between Wet and Damp Rated Lighting?

Do you know what the terms “wet rated” or “damp rated” mean?

When shopping for outdoor LED light fixtures, how confident are you that you’ll choose the right lights or ceiling fan without having to make a trip back to the store?

Wet rated lights and damp rated lights aren’t interchangeable, so it’s important to know the difference:

-          Wet-rated light fixtures are used in places with direct exposure to water. Think landscape lighting such as path and ground wells, and most other outdoor lights. These types of fixtures use waterproof seals to protect their internal components from moisture.

-          Damp-rated lights are used in places that have some contact with moisture, but not in areas with constant, direct exposure to water. Because they don’t have the same full seals as ones made for wet environments, they’re mostly made for around the home, like recessed lights outside the shower, or mix-used storage areas.

Wet/Damp Rated Ceiling Fans

Outdoor fans at RP Lighting + Fans are categorized as “damp” or “wet” rated, depending on the amount of moisture they’re designed to withstand.

Damp rated fans can handle humidity, but can’t handle direct contact with water, whereas wet rated fans are built for exposure to the outdoors and where water can splash onto the fan.

Covered patios or screened-in porches are better suited for damp rated fans.

Other considerations for wet listed ceiling fans:

• Materials: Be careful before you buy! Some fan models are built for outdoor use but don’t come designated with a damp/wet rating. 
• Airflow: Semi-enclosed spaces don’t need as much power to make the room feel cool, but open plans require a fan with much stronger output.
• Lighting: If your space needs a little light, you can get a ceiling fan that does double-duty. The best option is an LED ceiling fan that’s energy efficient, low-maintenance, and customizable.

Considering a Chandelier for Your Home? Read This First

Ever wondered what the difference between a chandelier and a pendant light is?

Have you ever wanted to get a decorative chandelier for your kitchen, dining room, or entryway?

Chandeliers are decorative hanging lights suspended from the ceiling with multiple lights incorporated into a single fixture.

Some have multiple “arms”, and chandeliers often are used to set a more formal tone in an entryway or dining room. Chandeliers tend to be more intricate, and are usually designed to provide more ambient lighting.
