Composite light source systems and methods
First Claim
1. A composite light source, comprising:
- a plurality of illumination panels; and
a controller;
wherein the controller;
receives a user input that defines one or more user-preferred colors,calculates one or more colors that are complementary to the one or more user-preferred colors, such that a sum of the user-preferred colors and the one or more colors that are complementary to the user-preferred colors, provides a net lumen output and a net chromaticity;
controls one or more of the illumination panels to emit the user-preferred colors, andcontrols one or more others of the illumination panels to emit the one or more colors that are complementary to the user-preferred colors,such that a far field photometric distribution of the composite light source provides the net lumen output and the net chromaticity.

Abstract
A composite light source includes a plurality of illumination panels, that emit light of a fixed color and a variable luminous intensity. Over time, the luminous intensities of at least two of the illumination panels vary, while a combined luminous intensity of the illumination panels remains about constant. Another composite light source includes a plurality of illumination panels that emit light. Each illumination panel of at least a first subset of the plurality of illumination panels emits the light with a first luminous intensity, and each illumination panel of at least a second subset of the plurality of illumination panels emits the light with a second luminous intensity that is different from the first luminous intensity.
