Lighting fixtures and methods for controlling operation of lighting fixtures are provided. In one example implementation, a lighting fixture includes a first LED array associated with a first color temperature, and a second LED array associated with a second color temperature. The lighting fixture further includes a circuit configured to adjust a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array based at least in part on a detected toggle input to adjust a color temperature of light output by the lighting fixture.
1. A lighting fixture, comprising:
a first LED array associated with a first color temperature;
a second LED array associated with a second color temperature; and
a circuit configured to adjust a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array based at least in part on a detected toggle input to adjust a color temperature of light output by the lighting fixture.
2. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the color temperature of the light output to correspond to a color temperature of about 3000 Kelvin.
3. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the color temperature of the light output to correspond to a color temperature of about 4000 Kelvin.
4. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the color temperature of the light output to correspond to a color temperature of about 5000 Kelvin.
5. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is further configured to convert an input power to an output power for the first LED array and the second LED array.
6. The lighting fixture of claim 5 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array such that the first LED array receives 100 percent of the output power and the second LED array receives 0 percent of the output power.
7. The lighting fixture of claim 5 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array such that the first LED array receives 0 percent of the output power and the second LED array receives 100 percent of the output power.
8. The lighting fixture of claim 5 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array such that the output power is split between the first LED array and the second LED array.
9. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is configured to sweep a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the lighting fixture.
10. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the lighting fixture from a color temperature of about 3000K to a color temperature of about 4000K.
11. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit is configured to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the lighting fixture from a color temperature of about 4000K to a color temperature of about 5000K.
12. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the circuit comprises a toggle control circuit configured to detect the toggle input and to provide one or more control signals to a distribution circuit based at least in part on the toggle input to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the lighting fixture.
13. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the toggle input comprises a plurality of successive toggles within a time period.
14. The lighting fixture of claim 1 , wherein the toggle input is implemented using a single throw circuit interrupter.
15. The lighting fixture of claim 14 , wherein the single throw circuit interrupter comprises a toggle switch.
16. A method for controlling a lighting fixture comprising a first LED array associated with a first color temperature and a second LED array associated with a second color temperature, the method comprising:
detecting a toggle input; and
responsive to detecting the toggle input, adjusting a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array to adjust a color temperature of light output by the lighting fixture.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein adjusting a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array comprises:
adjusting the power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the lighting fixture from a color temperature of about 3000 Kelvin to a color temperature of about 4000 Kelvin.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein adjusting a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array comprises:
adjusting the power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the lighting fixture from a color temperature of about 4000 Kelvin to a color temperature of about 5000 Kelvin.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein adjusting a power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array comprises:
sweeping the power distribution amongst the first LED array and the second LED array to adjust the color temperature of the light output by the fixture.
