Light like an incandescent bulb – with modern technology
Our Ninety-Five and Fifty luminaires equipped with Dim-To-Warm technology bring a natural and comfortable lighting atmosphere to your space. As you dim the light, not only does the brightness decrease, but the color temperature changes as well – just like with traditional incandescent or halogen lamps.

At full brightness, the light is a clear, neutral white at 3000 Kelvin – ideal for task lighting or general room illumination. As you dim it down, the light becomes warmer and more ambient. At low brightness levels, the luminaire produces a soft, orange-reddish glow reminiscent of candlelight, reaching a cozy 1800 Kelvin. This way, your lighting always matches the mood – from bright and functional to soft and atmospheric.

Technical Background: How Dim-To-Warm Is Engineered
The Dim-To-Warm function in our Ninety-Five and Fifty luminaires is realized through a dual-channel LED architecture. Each module combines two distinct emitters:
– a warm-white LED with approximately 1800 K
– a neutral-white LED with approximately 3000 K

Current Control & Light Mixing
The blend between these two LED channels is dynamically controlled by a finely tuned constant current driver. During dimming, both the overall current and the distribution between the LED types are adjusted. As the light output decreases, the driver reduces the contribution of the 3000 K channel and proportionally increases the 1800 K channel, shifting the color temperature downward.

The transition follows a logarithmic dimming curve rather than a linear one, optimized for human visual perception to closely emulate the behavior of traditional incandescent dimming—yet with greater efficiency, consistency, and lifespan.

Spectral Shift & Color Rendering
From a spectral perspective, dimming reduces the blue content of the light and increases the proportion of long wavelengths (reds and ambers). While the 3000 K output contains significant short-wavelength (blue) components, the light at 1800 K is dominated by warm tones with minimal blue. This shift affects not only the perceived warmth but also how materials and surfaces are rendered.

Throughout the dimming range, the luminaires maintain excellent color fidelity with a CRI above 90, ensuring consistent performance in both functional and atmospheric applications.
 

Thermal & Mechanical Design
Since both LED channels operate under different thermal conditions, effective heat management is essential. A precision-engineered aluminum substrate and optimized thermal coupling within the luminaire body ensure reliable heat dissipation. This design guarantees long-term stability and consistent light output across all dimming levels.
