The invention relates to a current determination apparatus for determining an operational driving current for driving a light source of a group of light sources. A same color shift function defining a light color shift depending on a driving current can be provided for all light sources of the group. An operational driving current is determined based on the color shift function such that the light color (43) of the light source of the group of light sources is shifted from a nominal color, which may be specific for each light source, to a light color (45) within a target color window (41). Since for the different light sources the same color shift function can be used, a determination of individual operational driving currents such that the light sources of the group emit light having substantially the same color can be simplified.
A current determination apparatus for determining an operational driving current for driving a light source of a group of light sources, the light sources being adapted to change a color of light emitted by the light sources depending on a change of a driving current used for driving the respective light source, the current determination apparatus comprising:
