Lighting Scenes at the Touch of a Button - Tunable White System for Downlights

The DLE G2 PRE Tunable White system is precalibrated at the factory and has an adjustable colour temperature range of 2,700 to 6,500 K, so it covers the entire white range from warm white to cool white. Luminous flux remains constant at all times. The system provides a simple way to create dynamic…

The DLE G2 PRE Tunable White system for downlights not only has an adjustable colour temperature of 2,700 to 6,500 K at constant luminous flux but also an impressively high colour rendering index of Ra > 90. It is available as a precalibrated kit consisting of perfectly matched components: a compact LED driver and a Tunable White LED module. Tridonic is therefore ensuring both high quality of light and high colour consistency (SDCM 3) while considerably simplifying Tunable White lighting solutions.

Flexible operation via pushbuttons or software:

The system includes a dimmable two-channel DALI-DT8 surface-mount driver with an adjustable output current of 350 to 1,050 mA and a maximum output of 38 W. The driver is equipped with a digital interface (DALI DT8, DSI, switchDIM, corridorFUNCTION) to which either a digital control signal (DALI) or a standard pushbutton switch (switchDIM) can be connected. At the touch of a button, the light can be dimmed from 100% to 1% without any change in the selected colour temperature. The rate at which the light switches on and off can be set between 0.2 s and 16 s via the Power-up-Fading and Fade-to-Zero functions. The colour temperature can also be set via colourSWITCH using conventional pushbutton switches. The memory function remembers the last dimming value and colour temperature.

The corridorFUNCTION can be programmed via a DALI-USB interface using masterCONFIGURATOR. This function can be activated manually by applying a voltage of 230 V to the switchDIM connection for five minutes. Overtemperature, short-circuit, overload and no-load protection as well as reduced surge current amplification round off the range of functions. The LED downlight module is available with a luminous flux of 2,000 lm or 3,000 lm.

The Tunable White system has a high system efficiency up to 100 lm/W and is extremely economical in standby mode with a power draw of only 0.25 W. It is also suitable for emergency lighting systems in accordance with EN50172 and has a life of 50,000 hours. The manufacturer offers a 5-year system guarantee.

CIE publishes Technical Report CIE 259:2026 on visual ergonomics for display equipment

The CIE has published Technical Report CIE 259:2026, "Visual Ergonomics, Lighting and Visual Display Equipment" (ISBN 978-3-902842-81-7, DOI 10.25039/TR.259.2026). The report updates guidance on display screens, reflecting advances in display and computing technologies and addressing newer personal devices, varied viewing positions, advanced control functions, and potential adverse effects of prolonged screen use. It consolidates peer-reviewed visual ergonomics principles for indoor work environments, covering user health, digital eyestrain, spectacle lenses, display characteristics, lighting and environmental modifications, and metrics-related issues. The 35-page report includes two tables and is available from the CIE Webshop and National Committees.

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.

Sunlight, UVB and vitamin D – Human Centric Lighting beyond melanopic stimulation

Ir. Rémy C. Broersma and Dr. Ir. Marcel P. Lucassen, Scientists at Signify Research Eindhoven UVB radiation initiates vital processes in our body, one of which is the production of vitamin D in the skin. It is well known that over-exposure to the sun may bring a risk. Less well known is that the same is true for insufficient sun exposure due to our indoor lifestyle. In Part 1 of this article, we first describe the scientific understanding behind vitamin D. In Part 2 we describe how artificial light can be enriched with a safe, low dose of UVB, to supplement natural vitamin D production in the skin. Not too much, not too little.
