How does tunable white work technically?

The LED modules contains a mixture of diodes providing warm or cold light. By mixing the light from these we can get colour temperatures between 2700-6500 Kelvin out of a single luminaire. Everything is controlled via DALI Device Type 8 and can be managed with different types of control units depending on what you want. The simpler panels have buttons or levers where the colour temperature is controlled with a slider and the intensity with another.

For an automatic dynamic control of colour and intensity a router system that dictates the levels over time is used. The colour temperature and intensity is controlled by the clock and doesn’t reflect the actual lighting conditions outdoors as it would be very dark in the room during the winter months.
