Abstract

A method and system of supplementing a main illuminating light with a supplementary illuminating light using a plurality of solid-state light emitters to illuminate a space according to a target illumination spectrum are provided. The method can include determining or receiving a reference illumination spectrum associated with the main illuminating light. The method can also include determining a spectral deviation between the reference illumination spectrum and the target illumination spectrum. The method can further include controlling the solid-state light emitters to emit respective emitter beams forming the supplementary illuminating light and illuminating the space along with the main illuminating light, the emitter beams having respective emitter spectra together defining a supplementary illumination spectrum of the supplementary illuminating light. The controlling can include adjusting the emitter spectra to match the supplementary illumination spectrum to the spectral deviation and illuminate the space according to the target illumination spectrum.
