Choose the kitchen light around the work surface
CCT Lighting for Kitchens
Kitchen CCT lighting should support clear work surfaces without forcing every area to use the same colour temperature. Compare the fitting format first, then check the CCT settings, dimming, cut-out, rating and ceiling position for the exact product.

Start with the work areas
Match the fitting to the kitchen layout
Counters, islands and general kitchen circulation do not always need the same fitting. Use the room layout and installation conditions to narrow the CCT options before comparing appearance.
Measure the work area and cut-outCheck the ceiling position, existing cut-out, ceiling depth and the area that needs light over the counter or island. These measurements separate a recessed downlight from a surface or panel fitting.
Match the light to the taskUse a clear, practical setting over food-preparation areas and choose a warmer setting where the kitchen opens into a relaxed living or dining space. Dimming can help when the same fitting serves more than one moment.
Confirm CCT, dimming and installation detailsCheck the exact listing for the CCT range, dimming information, wattage, dimensions, cut-out, IP rating where stated and installation method. These details differ between the panel, downlight and ceiling-light formats on this page.

A practical kitchen lighting sequence
Check the work area, CCT control and ceiling fit
1. Narrow the formatDecide whether the work area needs a recessed downlight, square panel or flush ceiling light, then choose the CCT and finish that suit the kitchen.
2. Compare the detailsCompare the CCT settings, dimming, wattage, cut-out, ceiling depth and stated IP rating on the exact listing rather than relying on the product photograph.
3. Ask before you guessIf the cut-out, ceiling depth, CCT control or dimmer compatibility is unclear, contact Future Light before ordering.
