        ◦ 3000K for warm residential and hospitality lighting
        ◦ 3500K for balanced transitional lighting
        ◦ 4000K for clean, neutral illumination
        ◦ 5000K for crisp, daylight-like light
• The high-color-rendering LED delivers a 90+ CRI, helping finishes, furnishings, and architectural details appear natural and accurately colored.
• The EL881CT5W is dimmable with compatible 120V TRIAC and ELV controls and can dim to approximately 10%, allowing practical adjustment for ambient, task, or evening lighting.
