what is Correlated Color Temperature (Cct)?
The correlated color temperature is the hue of color a light source produces. The unit of measure for CCT is degrees Kelvin and is on a scale from 1000K to about 10,000K. The higher the CCT the cooler or more blueish the hue of the light becomes. Lower CCT lighting results in a warmer, yellowish hue of light.
