Systems and methods to provide multiple channels of light to form a blended white light output, the systems and methods utilizing recipient luminophoric mediums to alter light provided by light emitting diodes. The predetermined blends of luminescent materials within the luminophoric mediums provide predetermined spectral power distributions in the white light output.

The invention relates to a lighting system comprising a light area and a side wall around the light area defining a recess. The light area is located at a base of the recess and a light exit window is located downstream at a top of the recess opposite the light area. The side wall comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion located upstream of the first wall portion. A clear, transparent pane is provided in between the first and second wall portion, wherein (essentially the whole of) the second wall portion is screened by the first wall portion from a direct line of view through the light exit window.

The present invention involves a programmable or static multiwavelength LED lighting fixture that is capable of emitting wavelengths of light both for visual perception and other key physiological processes. The lighting fixture produces emitted spectra, wherein one portion of the emitted spectra serves visual perception and at least one portion of the emitted spectra is selected from the group consisting of 290-315 nm; 360-400 nm; 470-490 nm; and 600-1400 nm.

In embodiments, a first light engine produces a first light spectrum having a first CCT. A second light engine produces a second light spectrum having a second CCT. The first light spectrum is emitted from a first region of an enclosure; a second light spectrum is emitted from a second region; and a mixture is emitted from a third region that separates the first and second regions. The second CCT is less than the first CCT; a difference between the first and second CCTs is at least 10,000K. The first light spectrum may have a first emission peak in a range of 450 to 480 nm and a second emission peak in a range of 380 to 420 nm. The second light spectrum may have a third emission peak in a range of 480 to 500 nm and a fourth emission peak in the range of 450 to 480 nm.
