When it comes to lighting, brightness isn’t the whole story. Colour Temperature, often referred to as CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature), plays a huge role in how a space feels, functions, and even how we feel inside it. Choosing the right CCT can make a room feel warm and relaxing, bright and energetic, or clean and focused.
At Nestlight, all of our interior lights feature multi-CCT options—giving you flexibility to match your lighting to the moment, the room, and the people using it.
What Is Colour Temperature (CCT)?
CCT is measured in Kelvin (K) and describes how warm or cool a light appears:
- Warm White (2700K–3000K): Soft, yellow-toned light
- Neutral White (4000K): Balanced, natural white light
- Cool White / Daylight (5000K–6500K): Crisp, bluish-white light
Lower Kelvin values feel warmer and more relaxing, while higher values feel brighter and more energising.
Choosing the Right CCT for Different Situations
🛏 Bedrooms (Kids & Adults)
Recommended CCT: 2700K–3000K (Warm White)
Warm white lighting creates a calm, cosy atmosphere—perfect for winding down at the end of the day. For kids’ bedrooms, it promotes relaxation before bedtime while still providing enough light for story time or quiet play.
💡 Nestlight tip: Use warm light in the evening, then switch to neutral white during daytime play or getting ready for school.
🛋 Living Rooms & Family Spaces
Recommended CCT: 3000K–4000K
Living areas are multifunctional—used for relaxing, socialising, and sometimes working. A slightly warmer-to-neutral CCT keeps the space inviting while remaining practical.
💡 Nestlight advantage: With our remote and app-controlled lights, you can shift from warm movie-night lighting to neutral light for hosting guests in seconds.
🚪 Hallways & Entryways
Recommended CCT: 4000K (Neutral White)
Hallways benefit from clean, balanced light that feels welcoming and improves visibility without being harsh. Neutral white helps maintain a modern, fresh look while connecting rooms smoothly.
🧸 Kids’ Play Areas & Study Zones
Recommended CCT: 4000K–5000K
Cooler light helps improve focus, alertness, and colour clarity—ideal for homework, creative play, or reading. This range supports concentration without causing eye strain when used correctly.
💡 Parent-friendly bonus: Adjust CCT as the day progresses—brighter for learning, warmer as bedtime approaches.
Why Multi-CCT Lighting Matters
A single fixed colour temperature often isn’t enough for modern living. That’s why Nestlight designs every fixture with adjustable CCT, allowing you to:
- Adapt lighting to different times of day
- Support better sleep and focus
- Create mood and ambience instantly
- Make one light work for many purposes
All Nestlight products are remote-controlled, app-enabled, and designed for Australian homes, combining innovation with everyday practicality.
