Systems and methods for improved lighting

An article of manufacture including a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• command, by the processor, a lighting system to generate a first desired effect in accordance with a first spectral weighting mode;
• determine, by the processor, a first optimized predetermined variable within a first predetermined domain to generate the first desired effect based on the first spectral weighting mode;
• command, by the processor, the lighting system to transition from the first desired effect to a second desired effect, the second desired effect in accordance with a second spectral weighting mode;
• and
• determine by the processor, a second optimized predetermined variable within a second predetermined domain to generate the second desired effect based on the second spectral weighting mode, the first optimized predetermined variable being different from the second optimized predetermined variable.
