Abstract
Methods and systems are described that enable the simultaneous control of lux, correlated color temperature (CCT), and circadian light (CL) emitted by a lighting system. Aspects also include methods for the adjusting the lux, CCT, and CL with respect to the needs and/or desires of a user, including to provide optimal lighting for light related health. Aspects of the present disclosure also include user interfaces for the simultaneous knowledge and control of lux, CCT, and CL.
Claims20
A method of controlling a lighting device having at least two differently colored channels of solid state light sources, comprising:
- independently controlling an output of the at least two channels to simultaneously control a lux, correlated color temperature (CCT), and circadian light (CL) of light emitted by the lighting device.
A lighting system, comprising:
- a lighting device including at least two differently colored channels of solid state light sources;
- and
- a processor coupled to the lighting device and configured to independently control an output of the at least two channels to simultaneously control a lux, correlated color temperature (CCT), and circadian light (CL) of light emitted by the lighting device.
