The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent traffic and energy-saving control, specifically to a tunnel LED (Light Emitting Diode) brightness color temperature loop control system and application thereof. The control system comprises a brightness detection device, a color temperature detection device, an LED intelligent controller, a loop control line and an LED lamp. The tunnel lamp loop is controlled by adopting a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal, the brightness is controlled by adopting the duty ratio of the PWM signal, the color temperature is controlled by adopting the frequency of the PWM signal, so that the purpose of independently controlling two functions with one signal is fulfilled, wherein the two functions can be independently controlled; simultaneously, by adopting the two-core loop control line, additional control lines are not needed, so that the cost is reduced; and by adopting the PWM signal for controlling the two functions, the stability of the system can also be improved, the construction difficulty and the fault search and maintenance difficulty are reduced, real-time adjustment on brightness and color temperature is realized, and the quality of tunnel lighting is improved.
