Luminaries

Brief

Luminaries represents a controllable light fixture.

Properties of luminaries:

• Have one or multiple emitters

Emitter

An emitter is one source of controllable light emission. It can have multiple channels or just one (One color, RGB, RGBW, to mention a few examples).

MVP Properties of emitters:

• Bit depth (like 8 bit, 12 bit etc)
• Descriptive color (for humans, could be a wavelength, a color name, a color temperature)
• Max current (for power management purposes)
• Brightness (just metadata as of now)

Later properties of emitters:

• Mode of operation (analog, PWM modulation etc., This is mostly just metadata and not important early on)
• Update frequency in case of modulation
• Linearity
• Color correction
