12. A lighting system, comprising:
-
means for controlling and sensing a compensating hue for a compensating light, the compensating hue compensating for a particular ambient light having an ambient hue; and means for modulating the hue of the compensating light into the ambient light to yield a desired total light, wherein the means for modulating the hue includes a plurality of spaced reflectors in which the illumination constructive interferes at the compensating hue. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

27. A lighting apparatus, comprising:
-
a sensor that senses hue of an ambient light within a space; and a light hue modulating device that projects a compensating light to adjust the ambient light to a desired hue within the space, wherein the light hue modulating device includes a first reflector, a second reflector, and a flexure that controls the spacing between the first reflector and the second reflector so that light of a desired wavelength constructively interferes.
