Dim2Tone™ is designed so a simple single channel dimming switch is all that is needed to blend two colors and achieve the desired light level and tone. Simply adjust the dimmer up and down to see the changing results from bright to dim as the color shifts from cool to warm. The intensity and tone of the light source track with the dimming switch. This innovative technology provides an easy option for a premium product without the added cost and complexity of specifying controllers for each fixture.

Dim2Tone is great for architectural, aesthetic commercial, hospitality, entertainment, and healthcare applications. Product offerings can be enhanced without major changes to fixture designs, providing new options in a competitive and high demand marketplace. Current technologies available for custom design in white and/or color CCTs are:

  • Single row of emitters with two alternating LED color temps;
  • Single row of emitters with a two color temp dual/die LED ; and
  • Two rows of emitters with different color temps in each row.

“The trend towards Human Centric lighting has prompted our customers to add tone customizable solutions to their fixture lines. Dim2Tone enables any existing fixture to be easily retrofitted with a single channel control blending static white CCTs or a combination of white and color LEDs.”

–Charlie Mockenhaupt, VP of Sales & Marketing at MetroSpec

Color gamut, not just lux, shapes how bright a room looks

Two experiments at Pennsylvania State University show that light with a larger color gamut (TM-30 Rg) and less saturated reds makes a room look brighter at the same illuminance. Melanopic light, which targets the eye's daylight-sensing cells, raised brightness only at 4700 K and 40 lx and lowered it at 2800 K and 120 lx. Published in Building and Environment, November 2026.

The aging eye and its influence on melanopic effects

Kevan Shaw, Lighting Consulting and Founder of KSLD. As the owner and operator of a pair of significantly aging eyes I have a considerable interest in how this effects my visual and non visual relationship with light. As a lighting designer who has been active for 50 years, I have had the idea that yellowing of the lens degrades visual performance significantly heavily promoted. Also, the idea that simply increasing illumination levels is a panacea that universally improves vision for the aged eye is the only solution.

Beyond tunable white: spectral control for circadian lighting in healthcare

Xavier Denis, Head of Technical Support and Technical Marketing at Nichia Europe. For readers working with Human Centric Lighting (HCL), the broad principles will be familiar. Light exposure impacts more than visual performance. Healthcare is an application where its timing, intensity and spectrum deserve particular attention.
