Color Selectable Security Lights FAQs
What is a color selectable outdoor security light?
A color selectable outdoor security light is a weatherproof LED fixture that lets you switch between multiple white color temperatures — typically 3000K warm white, 4000K cool white, and 5000K daylight — using a built-in selector switch on the fixture. Feit Electric color selectable outdoor security lights are available with motion sensor, dusk to dawn, and dual or triple head configurations. No app, no Wi-Fi, and no smart home hub required.
How do you change the color temperature on a Feit Electric outdoor security light?
Feit Electric color selectable outdoor security lights include a built-in CCT selector switch on the fixture housing. Choose between 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K before or after installation. The selected color temperature holds until you manually change it — no app, no power cycling, no hub required.
What is the difference between motion sensor and dusk to dawn outdoor security lights?
Motion sensor security lights activate when movement is detected within a set range and turn off after a period of inactivity — ideal for driveways, garages, and entry points. Dusk to dawn lights use a built-in photocell to turn on automatically at sunset and off at sunrise — ideal for continuous perimeter lighting. Some Feit Electric color selectable security lights combine both features: dusk to dawn on with motion-triggered brightness boost.
What color temperature is best for outdoor security lighting?
5000K daylight is the most common choice for security lighting — it provides the highest contrast and visibility, making it easier to identify people, vehicles, and objects at night. 4000K cool white is a good balance between visibility and a less harsh appearance for residential entrances. 3000K warm white is less common for security but works well for decorative outdoor wall lighting where ambiance matters alongside safety.
Are Feit Electric color selectable outdoor security lights weatherproof?
Yes. Feit Electric outdoor security lights are rated for outdoor use in wet locations. Check the individual product specifications for the exact IP or wet/damp rating. All models are designed to withstand rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations for year-round outdoor installation.
