CCT Ceiling Fans

CCT ceiling fans with LED light

A CCT ceiling fan is a fan with an integrated LED light whose color temperature can be selected: with the remote or a wall switch you choose between warm, neutral and cool light without changing anything on the unit. They are two appliances in one, ventilation plus a light point, taking up a single fixing on the ceiling, which is particularly handy in rooms with only one central electrical outlet. And because the light adapts, the same room can go from relaxed mood to working space in a second.

Light the way you want it: warm, neutral or cool

The CCT function (color temperature) is what sets these models apart. At 3000K you get warm light, the most comfortable for the living room or the bedroom at night. At 4000K you get neutral light, well balanced for the kitchen, dining room or home office. And at 6000K, cool light that brings sharpness when you need to read, study or work on detail. Because these are ceiling fans with selectable light, you are not locked in for life: you change the tone to suit the hour or the task.

Remote control, speeds and the winter-summer function

The remote control is the command centre: it switches the light on and off, changes the color temperature, dims the brightness and adjusts the fan speed without you getting up. Many models offer several speed levels, with options going up to six speeds, so you can fine-tune between a barely noticeable breeze at night and strong airflow in the hottest hours. The winter-summer function reverses the blade rotation: in summer the air is pushed down and cools; in winter it pushes the warm air gathered at the ceiling upwards and spreads it around, helping you get more out of your heating.

Quiet DC motor and retractable blades

Quiet ceiling fans are usually the ones with a DC motor: they draw less than an equivalent AC motor, run with less noise and allow more speeds and gentler start-ups. It is the logical choice in a bedroom, where noise is more of a nuisance than anywhere else. Another much requested solution is retractable blades: when the fan stops, the blades fold back into the body and the unit looks like a ceiling light fitting. That way you get a discreet luminaire through the cold months, and a fan again in summer.

Where to install it

• Living room: main light point with a warm tone and a gentle breeze for the hours on the sofa.
• Bedroom: DC motor for the quietness and minimum speed for sleeping.
• Kitchen and dining room: neutral light to see what you are doing, plus help moving the air around.
• Home office: cool or neutral light to work without eye strain.
• Covered terrace: always checking that the model is rated for sheltered outdoor use.

Frequently asked questions about CCT ceiling fans

What does CCT mean on a ceiling fan?

That the color temperature of its LED light can be selected. You can normally switch between warm, neutral and cool from the remote or a wall switch.

Why choose a DC motor?

Because it is quieter and draws less than an AC motor, and it usually offers more speeds and the reverse rotation function.

What is the winter-summer function for?

It reverses the direction the blades turn. In winter it spreads the warm air gathered at the ceiling instead of blowing air straight down.

What are retractable blades?

Blades that fold away when the fan stops, leaving the unit looking like a ceiling light fitting. Ideal if you would rather not see the fan in winter.
