A system and method involving lighting fixtures, a control network, a controller and other devices such as light sensors, input devices and network adapters for coordinating precise brightness and color schedules among the lighting fixtures while maintaining a high color reliability including provisions for managing a plurality of lighting fixtures. The lighting fixtures contain lighting elements selected such that when controlled properly, operating along a daytime locus, the resultant light output closely resembles sunlight on a cloudless day in spectral characteristics, and wherein the total flux of blue light can be adjusted from a relative level of 1-100% the maximum blue flux of the lighting fixture by controlling individual lighting elements.
A system for artificially generating sunlight in accordance with a daytime locus using spectral characteristics that resembles sunlight, said system automatically controlling at least one lighting fixture substantially along said daytime locus to generate said artificial sunlight.
A method for artificially generating sunlight in accordance with a daytime locus using spectral characteristics that resembles sunlight, said method comprising:
An artificial sunlight system, said system comprising a lighting fixture whose light output is automatically controlled to reduce the effects of, or treat, one of the group of circadium rhythm disorders, shift work dysfunction and seasonal affective disorder by operating along a daytime locus to provide compensating artificial sunlight.
A method for artificially generating sunlight in accordance with a daytime locus using spectral characteristics that resembles sunlight, said method comprising:
A system for artificially generating sunlight in accordance with a daytime locus using spectral characteristics that resembles sunlight, said system automatically controlling at least one lighting fixture substantially along said daytime locus to generate said artificial sunlight, said system automatically changing brightness levels and color levels of a plurality of lighting element channels within said at least one lighting fixture which generate broad spectrum white light of color temperatures from 1800K to 6500K in accordance with a user-selected input, said system controlling a total flux of blue light from a relative level of 1 to 100% of a maximum blue light flux within said broad spectrum white light.
A method for artificially generating sunlight in accordance with a daytime locus using spectral characteristics that resembles sunlight, said method comprising:
