How do I build a Circut to create temperature changes in LEDs? Looking for a range of 3000 to 6,000 for photography?
I see commercial lights for photography that can change color in the range of 3-6,000 or tungsten to daylight values. These are not arrays of three RGB lights but rather single LEDs and the combination create fairly substantial light sources. Looking for a schematic for some sort of regulator. Thanks

Are they single RGB LEDs?..each individual led contains three individual red,blue, and green LEDs. If so, you use PWM to control the intensity of the R G B leads individually to create any color you want. Search for "PWM led drivers" Maybe include "high current" as well if you will have a lot of LEDS.

You can not change the color of a LED.
You can only use multiple LED's of different colors and mix them through PWM signals.
On a cheap scale I have seen people using ultra bright, white LED's with a normal incandescent bulb in the center.
By adjusting the voltages they change the light color - but also the intensity of course.

Don't buy one! They're super expensive!
I have an Instructable on that exact photography panel:

The light 'colour'/temperature of an LED can not be changed. (Okay, you can increase the voltage and a green LED will light up orange ... for a short time, that is)
You could use RGB LEDs, but those are rather expensive and produce a crappy white.
Maybe what this guy did is something for you. He uses a combination of cold and warm white LEDs to create a range of light temperatures.

They're still RGB's for a bet, only in one package.
How bright are they ? Also what distribution ?
