Tunable
white
lighting
With the advancement in LED technology it is now possible to define,
for general indoor applications, luminaire architectures comprised
of multiple color LED chipsets that can be interlinked with new
digital control strategies to tune the correlated color temperature
of the white light. Through a combination of light quality, color, and
intensity, the system helps create environments that can be tailored
to an occupants’ needs and preferences at any given time.
What is tunable white lighting?
To really understand the benefit of tunable white, it
is important to appreciate the effect of light on our
biological clock as it influences many aspects of our
physical and emotional well-being. This biological
clock is regulated by light and darkness, by the daily
cycles of night and day and the time we spend asleep
and awake.
In our modern society, we spend much of our time
indoors – at home, in a school, office, store or hospital.
Those who have to stay indoors for significant parts
of their time under static lighting conditions run the
risk of disrupting their biological rhythms.
