Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the correlated color temperature (CCT) reflecting the warmth of emitted light for a non-tungsten based lighting device as intensity of the lighting device is modified. The CCT of the non-tungsten based lighting device is determined at a lighting control device that can provide fixture-dependent driver levels to various lighting devices of varying types. A lighting controller engine can determine a white component color temperature value based on a desired intensity level and a default CCT value received via a user interface of the lighting control device. The lighting control device can determine the driver levels for controlling characteristics of light emitted from the non-tungsten based lighting device based on the white component color temperature value and a user defined color level. The lighting control device can scale the white component color temperature to reflect variations of warmth as the intensity level is adjusted.
