What Is Tunable Lighting?
Tunable lighting control can change the correlated color temperature (CCT) output of white lighting sources (usually LED bulbs). CCT is measured in degrees Kelvin (K). A light’s color temperature directly correlates with our perceptions of what the light looks like.
There are three common types of tunable lighting.
Dim to warm lighting: bulb outputs fall in the range of 1800K – 2700K. This type of lighting produces warm white light with yellow and orange tones. Dim to warm lighting resembles candlelight, firelight, and the amber glow of the rising or setting sun.
Tunable white lighting: bulb outputs fall in the range of 2700K – 6500K. This type of lighting produces cool white light with blue tones. Tunable white lighting mimics the hues and intensity of daylight.
Color tunable lighting: color tunable lights use the three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) to create the full range of colored light across the spectrum. Full-color tuning moves beyond white light to produce light with distinct colors.
What Are the Benefits of Dynamic Lighting?
Home lighting has the power to impact mood, emotions, energy levels, and comfort in your environment. Having the ability to control the lighting in your space can transform how you feel during the day, how productive you are, and even how quickly you’re able to unwind after a long day.
You can use tunable lighting to simulate the color temperature, intensity, and brightness of natural sunlight as you move throughout your day. In the morning, dim to warm light helps ease you into a new day, feeling calm and relaxed. As the morning progresses, your lighting shifts to cooler, brighter tones to help you feel more energetic, alert, and focused while you work or complete household tasks. As the sun sets in the early evening, your home lifting shifts again to warmer tones that promote serenity, coziness, and relaxation before bed.
Full-color tunable lighting adds ambiance, character, and personality to your spaces. Create a tranquil environment for your morning meditation with deep blue or green lighting in the living room. Or bring vibrancy and energy to a house party by throwing the room into shades of violet and pink.
