A switchable wattage and CCT downlight is one fitting with an on-fixture switch that sets its power level and its colour temperature on site. KELVANO offers three power settings and three colour temperatures, 3000K, 4000K and 5000K, so one SKU covers what a fixed range would need nine SKUs to cover. This guide is written for wholesale distributors and shopfitters who carry stock.
What is a switchable wattage and CCT downlight?
A switchable wattage and CCT downlight is one fitting with an on-fixture switch that sets its power level and its colour temperature on site. KELVANO supplies three power settings and three colour temperatures, 3000K, 4000K and 5000K. Dimming is available alongside, and exact steps are confirmed per model on the quotation.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Power settings | 3 |
| Colour temperature settings | 3000K, 4000K, 5000K |
| Colour rendering | Ra 90 standard on the recessed spot and downlight series |
| Dimming | Triac, 0-10V, DALI, Bluetooth |
| Warranty | 5 years |
The wattage steps differ by model, so this page does not list them. The figures for each model are on its product page: LED downlights and the anti-glare COB downlight.
How many SKUs does it replace?
One switchable fitting covers the same nine combinations that a fixed range of three wattages and three colour temperatures needs nine SKUs to cover. The table works this through for an example range, and every figure in it is calculated from that example and the minimum order of 50 units per SKU.
| Calculated example | Fixed range | Switchable |
|---|---|---|
| Power levels | 3 | 3, set by the switch |
| Colour temperatures | 3 | 3, set by the switch |
| SKUs to list | 9 (3 x 3) | 1 |
| Minimum order per SKU | 50 units | 50 units |
| Units to open the range | 450 (9 x 50) | 50 (1 x 50) |
The saving is in the opening order and in the shelf. One SKU of 50 units can serve every combination, so a slow-moving colour temperature no longer ties up its own pallet of stock. Pricing is tiered by quantity, so the quotation shows what a larger order of the single SKU does to the unit price.
What the installer sets on site
The installer sets the fitting’s maximum output and colour temperature with the switch, and the dimming system then controls the level day to day.
Which colour temperature suits which space is covered in the colour temperature guide: warmer settings tend to suit hospitality, and neutral to cooler settings suit shops and offices. The switch lets the installer make that call at the fitting, after seeing the room, instead of the buyer making it at the order stage. For the dimming side, see the LED dimming guide, which compares Triac, 0-10V, DALI and Bluetooth.
Where is a fixed fitting still the better choice?
A fixed fitting is still the better choice on a single large project that uses one specification throughout, because nothing on site needs to be changed and the order is a single line. It also wins where the Ra or beam requirements are met by only one model. In that case the model decides, and the switch is secondary.
What should you confirm on the quotation?
Confirm five points on the quotation, because the steps and the options differ by model:
- The exact power steps and the three colour temperature settings for each model.
- The dimming protocol: Triac, 0-10V, DALI or Bluetooth.
- The documentation for your market, which is confirmed before you order.
- The warranty, which is 5 years.
- The minimum order of 50 units per SKU and the tiered pricing for your quantity.
Quotations come within 24 hours. Send the series and the quantity, and we confirm each point per model.
