Flood lights emit a wide beam of light and illuminate a larger area. They give off a broad beam and high intensity light, meaning they ‘flood’ the area with light. Flood lights work well brightening areas that require wide, even illumination, such as driveways, landscaping, or parking lots.
Spotlights offer a narrower, more concentrated beam of light than flood lights. They often see use highlighting specific aspects of a landscape or architectural details on a building.
CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature, which refers to the color of the light emitted by the light fixture. Most fixtures use a fixed CCT, giving off only a single color temperature. Selectable CCT allows you to adjust or choose a different CCT depending on your preference.
Common color temperatures found in residential applications include 2700K-6500K. Lower numbers on the scale, like 2700K, appear warmer or more yellow the light appears. The higher they appear on the scale, like 6500K, the cooler, or bluer, the light appears.
