Zusammenfassung:A method of dimming an LED luminaire and a dimmable LED luminaire includes two pluralities of LEDs. The first plurality emits electromagnetic radiation at a first frequency to react with a remote phosphor and provide a phosphor illumination. The second plurality of LEDs are phosphor LEDs that emit phosphor electromagnetic radiation at a second frequency to react with the remote phosphor and provide double-phosphor illumination. The phosphors and LEDs are configured to produce specific color points when the LEDs are at full power and at full dim. When the luminaire receives a dimming signal, the first plurality of LEDs dim the phosphor illumination over a majority of the luminaire's illumination range, but the second plurality of LEDs continue to receive constant current and provide undimmed double-phosphor illumination over the majority of the luminaire's illumination range.
