RGB Lights Vs. RGBW Lights – What's The Difference
Posted by Dara Greaney on 12/13/2022 to
LED Lights
RGBW refers to red, green, blue, and white light. RGBW was developed after RGB. If your science class serves you right, remember that there are three primary optical colors; red, green, and blue. RGB is based on numerous combinations of all three primary colors. The principle of color light emission is the basis of its design. RGB Lights can be described as three different colors: red, green, and blue. The colors are mixed, and the combined brightness equals the total brightness of the two lights when their lights are superimposed on one another. Brightness increases with increasing mixing degree, which is additive mixing.
But. . . RGB is a different scale than CCT or color corrected temperature/ kelvin. You can have a RGB light and try a tone of brown, but it may never be that warm white 2700K-3000K that you want because its missing a piece.

A Lighting Designers Trip to Disneyland - Lighting Critique of the Magic Kingdom
Posted by Dara Greaney on 2/4/2019 to
LED Lights
As a lighting designer your brain is always thinking lights, lighting and now LEDs. So when we took the kids to Disneyland last week, I spent as much time looking at lights as I could while being raced from ride to ride. My short takeaway is how poor the lighting. Mainly from the complete lack of energy efficient lighting, but also from a design standpoint. I saw more incandescents and lights on during the day than I have ever seen. Disneyland needs me. (hint, hint call me)
In fairness to Disney, I researched it and Disneyworld is about to go energy neutral with a large solar install by 2019. Its west coast sibling Disneyland, not so much though. Even California Adventure got a few solar panels, but not many. None of the parks appear to be using LEDs to cut that usage. Our energy rates in California start at .23 a kilowatt hour, highest rates in the country. Disneyland is probably in Southern California Edison territory and unless they have a secret deal, their energy is expensive. Going LEDs in California has a very fast pay off, often 2-3 years with labor included.
