This invention relates to the field of light mixing technology, providing a method, apparatus, and luminaire for controlling
colored light mixing. The method includes: acquiring the source
chromaticity coordinates and source brightness of
white light and three source
colored lights, wherein the source
chromaticity coordinates of the
white light are located within a basic color
gamut formed by the three source
chromaticity coordinates of the three source
colored lights; acquiring the target chromaticity coordinates of a target
colored light, wherein the target chromaticity coordinates are located within the basic color
gamut; and determining the color
power ratio of the
white light and the three source colored lights based on the target chromaticity coordinates of the target
colored light, as well as the source chromaticity coordinates and source brightness of the white light and the three source colored lights, wherein each color
power ratio is used to determine the target brightness of the
light source output of the corresponding color, so as to mix the target
colored light. In this invention, because white light has good spectral continuity, the target colored light obtained by mixing white light continues the characteristic of good spectral continuity of white light, thus resulting in better
color quality of the mixed target colored light.
