Nichia released a new COB LED series featuring tunable color. With the new color tunable LEDs, color temperatures could be adjusted according to natural biological rhythms for human centric lighting applications.

On existing tunable light fixtures, the method to select and balance color temperatures is to mount multiple LED packages onto one board. This approach provides flexibility in the design but increases the complexity when it comes to to mixing the color of each LED. Moreover, it is difficult to develop color tunable fixtures with narrow beam patterns and harmonized color. Nichia’s new color tunable COB series will solve these challenges and offer an easier option for the lighting market to produce color tunable fixtures.

Nichia’s color tunable COB series for commercial applications would allow retail stores to change the light color according to the display objects. For home application, the color temperature of lighting could change to best suit their natural biological rhythms. Nichia’s color tunable COB will expand the market potential for future lighting fixtures and lighting environments.
