Abstract
In a lighting system that emits light of a color within a color specification, the color is controlled by adding light from a single color-correcting light emitting device (light-emitting device) to a primary light-emitting device. In an illustrative embodiment, a color-detecting module can sense the color of the combined light emitted from both the primary and the color-correcting light-emitting devices. The color-control system can generate an amplitude control signal based on a signal indicative of the color sensed by the color-detecting module. A color range of the combined light of the primary and the color-correcting light-emitting devices can intersect a domain of the predetermined color specification, as the generated amplitude control signal spans the domain. Using a single color-correcting light-emitting device to maintain a lighting system's emitted color within a predetermined color specification can advantageously reduce system complexity.
