ADAPTIVE LIGHT SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A method of adapting light using a lighting device that includes a color matching engine, a controller operatively coupled to the color matching engine, and a plurality of light sources each configured to emit a source light in a source wavelength range, wherein each of the plurality of light sources is operatively coupled to the controller, wherein at least one of the plurality of light sources is a white light, the method comprising:
- receiving a selected color;
determining a dominant wavelength of the selected color;
determining a combination of at least two of the plurality of light sources that emit a combined wavelength that approximately matches the dominant wavelength of the selected color; and
operating the combination of at least two of the plurality of light sources to emit the combined wavelength to be defined as an adapted light, wherein at least one of the plurality of light sources is the white light.

Abstract
An adaptive light system including a color matching engine, a controller, and a plurality of light sources each configured to emit a source light. The color matching engine determines a dominant wavelength of a selected color, and a combination of the light sources that the controller may operate to emit a combined wavelength that approximately matches the dominant wavelength of the selected color. A color capture device transmits a source color signal designating the selected color. A method of adapting light comprises receiving a selected color, converting a value representing a dominant wavelength of the selected color, determining a combination of and percentages of colors emitted by the plurality of light sources that may be combined to form an adapted light that matches the selected color, and operating the light sources along with a white light to emit the adapted light.
