These are smart lights, but fairly easy to tune and program as you can use the app, Alexa, Google etc.:

Acuity Brands: WF6C, RB56SC

These have the CCT switch on the trim itself:

Acuity Brands: RB56 SWW5

Thanks for the suggestions! I found the RB56 on Amazon here: [link]

If so, it looks more accessible than the example I posted (which does make it a step simpler!), but the switch is still on the interior side of the light.

Yeah, you’re not going to find them on the exterior because it ruins the lines of the trim and makes them harder to keep clean. The RB56 SWW5 won’t be hard to change. The clips that hold the trim to the ceiling are spring-loaded. So it’s just a matter of pulling the trim down and switching the selector. The intention of these devices (except the smart trims or ones with RGBW) is that they’re expected to be changed very infrequently, and especially in public buildings or multi-family settings, they don’t really want the end users messing with them too much.

You wouldn’t have to have a tool for the one you have pictured. Pull the light down into the room, reach through the hole, move the switch, replace the light.

Beyond smart lights or the ones where rapidly switching changes the CCT, I don’t know that any have the switch directly in the light half of the fixture.

Ooo. Can you say more about this? Do you mean it can be done at the light switch? Know of any models that do it, or what keyword to search for? The ideal is to have something that we can change on occasion, without involving the internet, or partially uninstalling them.

I don’t know of any brands that do it specifically, and actually had it as a feature on a no-name LED bulb that came with an Amazon floor lamp. Turn the light on, then off, then immediately on and it would come on with a different CCT. Kind of annoying when you leave the room then come back instantly and turn it back on, suddenly it’s 5000K. Can’t find any sort of name for it, since “CCT switch” gives what you already have.

You can get smart ones that can be changed in an app.
