Patent ID: 8319455

Claim:
A system for controlling an output of one or more luminaires, the system comprising: a plurality of light sources electrically coupled to the one or more luminaires and configured to generate a color output of the system, each of the plurality of light sources having an output intensity value; a purity input control device operable for setting a purity value associated with a purity of the color output of the system; and a controller connected to the plurality of light sources and configured to select a first hue related to a first range of wavelengths of light and corresponding to an output intensity value for at least one of the plurality of light sources; modify a purity of the first hue based on the purity value associated with the purity of the output of the color system to modify the wavelengths of light included in the first range of wavelengths, wherein modifying the purity of the first hue modifies an output intensity value of one or more of the plurality of light sources; and control the color output of the system based at least in part on the selected first hue and the purity of the first hue.
