The fixture features an integrated switch on the cable that allows you to select from five different color temperatures:
- 2700K (Warm White): Ideal for relaxing environments.
- 3000K (Soft White): Suitable for general comfort and warmth.
- 3500K (Neutral White): A balanced option for everyday use.
