Smart lighting refers to lighting technology that is used to maximize energy efficiency. Smart lighting usually makes use of automated controls that make adjustments based on room lighting conditions or occupancy. Many lamp fixtures can be replaced with smart ready LEDs. All Sunlite LED fixtures are smart control ready, meaning that if you wish to […]
The picture below shows two lights with the same color temperature that actually produce a very different color, or tint, of white light. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light, defined as the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator that radiates light of the same hue as the light source. This is represented by […]
Color tuning fixtures are often used for simulating daylight conditions. They are also used for displays such as in jewelry stores where different jewelry items might look better under different color temperatures. LEDs have made color tuning simpler than that done with conventional lights; color tuning can even be done in a small 2″X3″ LED […]
RGB LEDs make use of red, green, and blue semiconductor chips with no phosphor coating. RGB lighting systems usually combine the red, green, and blue wavelength light produced by these chips to make white light. RGB LED products can combine the light created by these three chip colors to produce millions of different hues of […]
Most LEDs that produce white light are manufactured using a blue chip and layer of yellow phosphor (green or red phosphor may also be used to change the light produced and improve color rendering). The combination of chip with composition and thickness of the phosphor layer affects the wavelength of light and color temperature produced. […]
The light color produced by an LED depends on the material used in the P-type and N-type semiconductor chip. Different materials in the chip release different amounts of energy when the LED is connected to a power supply. The amount of energy released determines the color of the light produced. Red is a low energy […]
