Lighting systems generating visible-light emissions for dynamically emulating sky colors
Lighting system including visible-light source, optical system, mounting system, and control system. Visible-light source includes plurality of semiconductor light-emitting devices (SLEDs) and selectably generates: visible-light emissions having cyan-ish color point; and visible-light emissions having orange-ish color point. Optical system and mounting system are integrated with visible-light source. Optical system is arranged to combine together, into combined light emissions, visible-light emissions from SLEDs among plurality of SLEDs. Mounting system is arranged for directing combined light emissions as up-light emissions. Control system is coupled with visible-light source and selectably causes visible-light emissions to have cyan-ish color point or orange-ish color point. Control system and optical system cooperatively form combined up-light emissions as having dynamic spectrum for emulating orange-ish sky color at time of day selected to represent sunrise sky or to represent sunset sky, changing over time for emulating cyan-ish sky color at another time of day selected to represent mid-day sky.
A LUMINAIRE USING A LIGHT MIXING CHAMBER
A luminaire (10) has first light source (30) which provides light into a light mixing chamber (20) such that un-collimated light reaches the light output face (26) of the light mixing chamber (20), and a second light source (32) which provides collimated light to the light output face (26). The luminaire (10) can thus produce a diffuse flat light output and/or a directed partially collimated light output for example for task lighting.
