METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING TUNABLE LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE WITH REMOTE WAVELENGTH CONVERSION
A tunable light emitting device includes a plurality of solid-state light sources, a dimmer switch configured to generate a range of output powers for the light emitting device, a control circuit configured to translate an output power generated by the dimmer switch into an on/off arrangement of the plurality of light sources, and a wavelength conversion component comprising two or more regions with different photo-luminescent materials located remotely to the plurality of solid-state light sources and operable to convert at least a portion of the light generated by the plurality of solid-state light sources to light of a different wavelength, wherein the emission product of the device comprises combined light generated by the plurality of light sources and the two or more regions of the wavelength conversion component.
1 . A tunable light emitting device, comprising:
a plurality of solid-state light sources;
a control circuit to control distribution of power to the plurality of light sources; and
a wavelength conversion component comprising two or more regions, wherein the two or more regions correspond to different light emission colors, and different ones of the plurality of solid-state light sources correspond to different regions within the wavelength conversion component.
