===Lighting=== [[File:Incand-3500-5500-color-temp-comparison.png|thumb|alt=Color temperature comparison of common electric lamps|Color temperatures of common electric lamps|140x140px]] For lighting building interiors, it is often important to take into account the color temperature of illumination. A warmer (i.e., a lower color temperature) light is often used in public areas to promote relaxation, while a cooler (higher color temperature) light is used to enhance concentration, for example in schools and offices.<ref>{{cite book | title = Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology | author = Rüdiger Paschotta | publisher = Wiley-VCH | year = 2008 | isbn = 978-3-527-40828-3 | page = 219 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=BN026ye2fJAC&q=lighting%20color-temperature%20relaxing&pg=PA219 }}{{Dead link|date=December 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> CCT dimming for LED technology is regarded as a difficult task, since binning, age and temperature drift effects of LEDs change the actual color value output. Here feedback loop systems are used, for example with color sensors, to actively monitor and control the color output of multiple color mixing LEDs.<ref>{{cite journal | title = Sensors and Feedback Control of Multi-Color LED Systems | author = Thomas Nimz, Fredrik Hailer and Kevin Jensen | journal = LED Professional Review: Trends & Technologie for Future Lighting Solutions | publisher = LED Professional | year = 2012 | issn = 1993-890X | pages = 2–5 | url = http://www.mazet.de/en/english-documents/english/featured-articles/sensors-and-feedback-control-of-multi-color-led-systems-1/download#.UX7VXYIcUZI | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140429162806/http://www.mazet.de/en/english-documents/english/featured-articles/sensors-and-feedback-control-of-multi-color-led-systems-1/download#.UX7VXYIcUZI | archive-date = 2014-04-29 }}</ref>
