TUNABLE LIGHT SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. A method of tuning a luminaire having a first light source, a second light source, and a third light source, wherein each light source produces a different color of light, the method comprising the steps of:
- operating each of first light source, the second light source, and the third light source;
receiving a selected warmth;
determining whether the light emitted by the first light source matches the amount of light needed from the first light source to match the selected warmth, wherein a determination that the light emitted by the first light source does not match the amount of light needed from the first light source results in operating the first light source to emit the amount of light needed from the first light source to match the selected warmth;
determining whether the light emitted by the second light source matches the amount of light needed from the second light source to match the selected warmth, wherein a determination that the light emitted by the second light source does not match the amount of light needed from the second light source results in operating the second light source to emit the amount of light needed from the second light source to match the selected warmth; and
determining whether the light emitted by the third light source matches the amount of light needed from the third light source to match the selected warmth, wherein a determination that the light emitted by the third light source does not match the amount of light needed from the third light source results in operating the third light source to emit the amount of light needed from the third light source to match the selected warmth.

Abstract
Methods of tuning a luminaire having a first light source, a second light source, and a third light source, wherein each light source produces a different color of light including receiving a selected warmth, include the step of determining whether the light emitted by the first light source matches the amount of light needed from the first light source to match the selected warmth. It may be determined whether the first and second light sources are emitting sufficient light, and each may be adjusted to emit light having the selected warmth.

9. A method of tuning a luminaire having a first light source, a second light source, and a third light source using a computerized device having a user interface, the method comprising the steps of:
-
operating each of first light source, the second light source, and the third light source; receiving a selected warmth via the user interface; determining whether the light emitted by the first light source matches the amount of light needed from the first light source to match the selected warmth; wherein a determination that the light emitted by the first light source does not match the amount of light needed from the first light source results in operating the first light source to emit the amount of light needed from the first light source; determining whether the light emitted by the second light source matches the amount of light needed from the second light source to match the selected warmth; wherein a determination that the light emitted by the second light source does not match the amount of light needed from the second light source results in operating the second light source to emit the amount of light needed from the second light source to match the selected warmth; determining whether the light emitted by the third light source matches the amount of light needed from the third light source to match the selected warmth; wherein a determination that the light emitted by the third light source does not match the amount of light needed from the third light source results in operating the third light source to emit the amount of light needed from the third light source; receiving a selected dominant color; and adjusting the selected warmth to include the selected dominant color. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A tunable lighting system comprising:
a luminaire comprising; a mint-white light-emitting diode (LED); a first colored LED; a second colored LED; and a controller; and a computerized device positioned in communication with the controller and configured to control the operation of each of the mint-white LED, the first colored LED, and the second colored LED, wherein the computerized device comprises a user interface configured to receive a selected warmth; and wherein the controller is programmable to operate the LEDs of the luminaire responsive to the selected warmth. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
