| Title: |
Colorizer and Method of Operating the Same |
| Abstract: |
Systems and methods for controlling the output of a plurality of light
sources. The system can include four or more light sources (e.g. light
emitting diodes ("LEDs")) and a controller. The light sources are
included in, for example, a luminaire. The respective outputs of the
plurality of light sources are controlled using a hue and purity ("HP")
control technique. The HP technique includes selecting a dominant hue
(e.g., green, blue, red, etc.). The purity of the selected hue is then
modified to include or remove wavelengths of light adjacent to the
selected hue. For example, if the selected hue is green, gradually
reducing the purity of the selected hue gradually increases the presence
of cyan and amber in the output of the luminaire. As the purity is
reduced further, additional wavelengths of light are included, but the
output of the luminaire remains, in essence, green.
