Three specification routes

Choose the colour-temperature method as well as the colour

Trio and the principal Nova model provide multiple colour temperatures from one luminaire. This lets the selected setting be confirmed during commissioning while keeping one product route in the schedule.

Lumi has four base models. Every fitting provides selectable 3000K, 4000K and 5600K settings; its driver options control dimming.

The correct choice depends on more than the Kelvin value. Output, power, aperture or body format, dimming, emergency gear and control protocol all need to remain aligned with the project brief.

Selection sequence

Build a useful downlight schedule

Resolve the physical format and light output before locking the colour and control options.

Choose the family

Start with the required downlight size, IP rating and diffuser format: Trio, Lumi or compact Nova.

Set the output

Match lumen package and power to the calculation, ceiling height, spacing and intended light level.

Choose the CCT route

Select the CCT setting on the fitting. Choose a separate tunable-white range if dynamic colour-temperature control is required.

Add controls and emergency

Record phase-cut, DALI, Casambi and emergency requirements against the selected family.

Colour-temperature planning

Decisions to record before commissioning

The selected Kelvin value should be deliberate and repeatable across the project.

Family and format

Confirm the physical downlight family before using colour temperature as the deciding filter.

Output and power

Compare lumen packages within the chosen family against the lighting calculation.

Colour-temperature choice

Choose the target CCT for the space and record it in the schedule rather than leaving it implicit.

Setting responsibility

For switch-selectable models, state who will set and verify the final position during commissioning.

Control protocol

Align phase-cut, DALI, SwitchDIM, DSI or Casambi requirements with the selected family.

Emergency requirement

Add the correct emergency suffix and confirm its interaction with the wider project specification.

Frequently asked questions

Switchable CCT downlight FAQs

Key distinctions between the three current commercial downlight families.

Which ranges are switch-selectable?

Trio provides 3000K, 4000K and 5500K settings. Lumi provides 3000K, 4000K and 5600K settings. NOVA.001 provides 3000K, 4000K and a daylight setting whose CCT needs confirmation.

How does Lumi handle colour temperature?

Every Lumi base model has selectable 3000K, 4000K and 5600K settings. Changing CCT does not require another base code.

Which family has the highest output?

Lumi reaches 3,500 lumens at 4000K through LUMI.004. Trio reaches 2,275 lumens and Nova reaches 850 lumens at 4000K.

Are emergency options available?

Yes. All three families list emergency routes, but the suffixes differ, so use the options shown against the selected family.

Can these downlights use Casambi?

Trio, Lumi and Nova each list a /BTC Casambi-compatible wireless control option.

When is tunable white appropriate?

Use the Lumi /T+DALI route where the project requires controlled adjustment of colour temperature rather than a single commissioned setting.
