Colour temperature and CCT
Colour temperature (CT)
– Colour temperature, well light colour,
in warm, neutral and daylight white
– Corresponds colour tines white,
quoted the Correlated Colour
Temperature (CCT) Kelvin (K)
– Colour coordinates the Planckian radiator
(Planckian curve)
– Real light sources often deviate from this:
correlated colour temperature (CCT)
– Judd straight lines: all points these lines
have the same correlated colour tempera-
ture.4
0. This means that different colour
coordinates can have the same CCT.1 0.7 0. tolerance range)
– Most frequent colour temperature at
Zumtobel: 3000 4000 K
– readjustment the course the LED’s
service life
– Temperature-based readjustment keep
the colour temperature constant
– Constant colour temperature during
dimming
