An LED light fixture, in the form of lamps or luminaires, is comprised on a plurality of LED lights producing bright white or warm light and a plurality of color LED lights producing light of a visibly different color. The fixture includes control circuitry for receiving an input voltage signal from a dimmer switch wherein when the dimmer switch reduces the input voltage to the LED light fixture within a top range setting of the dimmer switch, the brightness of the light is maintained while the color Kelvin temperature of the light spectrum is reduced. If the dimmer switch is increased in the top range, the color temperature increases. This is achieved by increasing the frequency of a reduced input voltage signal during a reduction of the dimmer switch in the top range thereof to supply full driver current to the white or warm light LED's while reducing the driver current to the color LED's. When the dimmer switch is operated below the top range both drive currents to the while and color LED's is reduced to provide a warm relaxing light spectrum but with substantially high luminosity/brightness.
