Color Temperature Control
With the Color temperature control function, you can send the preset percentage of brightness and the value of color temperature expressed in Kelvins (K).
You can select the minimum and the maximum color temperature values. The usable value range depends on the control device and the lamps. The control device has to support the 2-byte data point type 7.600.

With lighting, the color temperatures differ according to the type of source:
-
Candle light: 1500 K
-
Incandescent bulb: 2600 K – 2700 K
-
Halogen bulb: 2700 K – 3000 K
-
Fluorescent light: 4500 K – 6500 K
-
Daylight: 5500 K – 7000 K
The higher the number of Kelvin, the cooler white the light is. The lower the number of Kelvin is the warmer and more yellower the light is.
