Dim-to-Warm v.s. Dim-to-FlameWarm: Why Yuji’s Innovation Reigns Supreme

When it comes to creating a relaxing lighting environment, dimmable warm light has long been a favorite. But not all dim-to-warm solutions are created equal. Traditional dim-to-warm technologies focus on shifting color temperatures, while Yuji Lighting’s Dim-to-FlameWarm™ goes further—harmonizing light with human biology. Here’s why Yuji’s approach is a game-changer.

What’s the Difference?

Traditional Dim-to-Warm: Adjusts color temperature (CCT) from cooler (e.g., 3000K) to warmer tones (e.g., 1800K) as brightness decreases. While visually cozy, it often fails to address circadian disruption. Even warm LEDs emit enough blue light to suppress melatonin, disturbing sleep.

Dim-to-FlameWarm™: Combines CCT tuning with spectral engineering to minimize circadian stimulation. Its unique FlameWarm™ spectrum peaks at 600nm (orange-red), drastically reducing blue wavelengths. This ensures brightness without melatonin suppression, ideal for nighttime use.

Key Advantages of Dim-to-FlameWarm™

1. Ultra-Low Circadian Impact

FlameWarm™ achieves a Melanopic/Photopic (M/P) ratio of 0.099—lower than candles (0.278) and standard 1800K LEDs (0.304). This means 90% less circadian stimulation compared to daylight, preserving melatonin levels for restful sleep.

2. Scientifically Optimized Spectrum

Traditional dim-to-warm LEDs still emit blue light, which disrupts sleep. FlameWarm™ eliminates this risk with a broadband spectrum (530nm–780nm), prioritizing amber and red wavelengths. The result? Light that’s visually warm and biologically gentle.

3. Ultra-Smooth Dimming Experience

Standard dim-to-warm strips often exhibit abrupt color shifts. Yuji’s Dim-to-FlameWarm™ uses high-precision transistors and optimized circuitry for seamless transitions from 3000K (RELAX mode) to 1250K (DEEP-SLEEP mode). No flicker, no harsh jumps—just natural, flame-like dimming.

4. Enhanced Visual Comfort

FlameWarm™ mimics the color of firelight (PANTONE 16-1358 TCX Orange Tiger), offering a psychologically calming glow. Paired with 98 CRI in RELAX mode, it delivers vibrant, true-to-life colors during the day and soothing warmth at night.

5. Simplified Installation & Reliability

With 24V DC operation, improved adhesive backing, and no need for heatsinks, Yuji’s flexible strips are easy to install in homes, hotels, or healthcare settings. Rigorous certifications (IES LM-80, IEC62471 RGO) ensure durability and safety.

6. Real-World Impact

• Nighttime Safety: In hospitals, FlameWarm™ provides 20 lux of glare-free light with just 1 lx melanopic EDI, meeting CIE’s strict nighttime guidelines.
• Sleep Quality: Hotels using Dim-to-FlameWarm™ report 60% less melatonin disruption compared to standard LEDs, enhancing guest relaxation.
• Energy Efficiency: Achieve the same circadian effect as daylight with half the illuminance, reducing energy use and blue light hazards.

Conclusion: Beyond Aesthetics, Into Biology

 Traditional dim-to-warm solutions prioritize visual appeal but neglect biological harmony. Yuji’s Dim-to-FlameWarm™ bridges this gap, offering light that adapts to both your eyes and your internal clock. Whether for a bedroom, living room, or healthcare facility, it’s the smarter choice for wellness-centric lighting.

Illuminate wisely—choose Dim-to-FlameWarm™.
