Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems for generating tunable white light. The systems include a plurality of LED strings that generate light with color points that fall within red, blue, and green color ranges, with each LED string being driven with a separately controllable drive current in order to tune the generated light output. The systems can include an additional LED string configured for functional applications that includes a type of LED selected from 380-420 nm violet saturated LEDs, 200-280 nm UVC saturated LEDs, 850-940 nm near-IR saturated LEDs, 580-620 nm amber-orange/red saturated LEDs, and 460-490 nm long-blue saturated LEDs.
