What is CCT? ❯
CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) is the correlation of the colour temperature of light. It often refers to colour temperature controlled luminaires, where the colour temperature (Kelvin) of the white light of the luminaire can be adjusted, e.g. 2700-5300K.
How do CCT adjustable luminaires work? ❯
24V CCT led strips, CCT spots and CCT panels have two different led circuits side by side - cold and warm - the ratio of which is adjusted to create the desired light colour temperature.
What is the difference between stepwise or freely adjustable CCT lighting? ❯
The step-by-step control is typically preset at the factory with 3 different colour temperatures.
For example, CCT spots 2700K, 4000K and 5300K. The switch is in the power supply of the luminaire
and is used to change the color temperature when the power is OFF.
The freely adjustable one can be set to any temperature to suit the mood or the user's preference
or decor. Free adjustment requires a separate control unit, which are
available both wireless and wired.
A wireless set could be
include, for example:
-4 CCT spots without their own transformer
-VaLO 50W RF 24V transformer
-VaLO-P1CCT button
How to connect continuously variable CCT lighting? ❯
Wirelessly controlled:
- One 24DCV ballast (transformer) of the VaLO series is installed on the luminaire group,
which is RF controllable if a separate control block is not desired.
- The luminaires are connected in parallel to the transformer.
- The VaLO series ballasts have a 3-pole screw connector to which the lighting is connected
so that 1 [+] and 2 [-] are connected.
Wired control:
- One 24DCV ballast, i.e. transformer, is installed on the luminaire group, from which the voltage plus [+] and minus [-] is fed to the wall switch and from there to the luminaire group 1pc [+] and 2pc [-]
- The luminaires are connected in parallel.
Connection by wires
If stepless adjustment is not required, CCT products can be connected to any
to any 24DCV transformer. The preselected shades are used by connecting plus [+] and its
and either warm (2700K) or cold (5300K) to minus [-], depending on which shade is selected
desired. Connecting both minus [-] together gives a neutral light
(2700+5300/2=4000).
Can I use the VaLO-INWALL-CCT-400W hardwired controller at the same time as an RF wireless controller? ❯
You can't. VaLO-INWALL-CCT-400W controller is connected between the transformer and the luminaires
and, it does not include wireless control. Two different control modes cannot be connected in series.
Can I control CCT lights from multiple locations? ❯
Yes you can. The VaLO series wireless products can control the same group of lights up to a max. 4 locations.
What are the brands of CCT LED lamps sold on LedStore? ❯
LedStore brands. We have our own product design and contract manufacturer who has been working with us for 10 years.
I want to time the startup for bright daylight in the morning and warm and slightly dimmed light in the evening. Is it possible to control the light according to the season or time of day? ❯
Yes, you can. Get a VaLO series wirelessly controlled (RF) transformer or receiver of the right size for the group of luminaires and a VaLO-WIFI-RF box connected to your home Wifi network for control. Download the Android or iOS app from the app store. The app allows you to create your own timings with the desired settings (tone and brightness). Of course, you can also control the lighting at the same time with other wireless buttons in your home.
