Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems for generating tunable white light. The systems include a plurality of LED strings that generate light with color points that fall within red, blue, and green color ranges, with each LED string being driven with a separately controllable drive current in order to tune the generated light output. The systems can include an additional LED string configured for functional applications that includes a type of LED selected from 380-420 nm violet saturated LEDs, 200-280 nm UVC saturated LEDs, 850-940 nm near-IR saturated LEDs, 580-620 nm amber-orange/red saturated LEDs, and 460-490 nm long-blue saturated LEDs.

Claim (Index 48):
A method of generating white light, the method comprising:\n providing first, second, and third LED strings, with each LED string comprising one or more LEDs having an associated luminophoric medium; providing a fourth LED string; wherein the first, second, and third LED strings together with their associated luminophoric mediums comprise red, blue, and green channels respectively; producing first, second, and third unsaturated light with color points within red, blue, and green regions on the 1931 CIE Chromaticity diagram, respectively; providing a control circuit configured to adjust a fourth color point of a fourth unsaturated light that results from a combination of the first, second, and third, unsaturated light, with the fourth color point falls within a 7-step MacAdam ellipse around any point on the black body locus having a correlated color temperature between 1800K and 10000K, wherein the control circuit is further configured to adjust a sixth color point of a sixth unsaturated light that results from a combination of the first, second, and third unsaturated light and a fifth saturated light from the fourth LED string; generating light in a first operating mode with two or more of the first, second, and third unsaturated light by combining the two or more generated unsaturated lights to create the fourth unsaturated light; and generating light in a second operating mode with two or more of the first, second, and third unsaturated light and the fifth saturated light by combining the two or more generated unsaturated/saturated light to create the sixth unsaturated light.
