A luminaire with the ability to toggle between daylight and incandescent color temperatures, as opposed to a full-color luminaire which covers a much broader color spectrum.
Bi-color refers to a LED fixture that produces more than one white light value without requiring additional modifiers. Some work with a hard switch between 3200 Kelvin or 5600 Kelvin, or with a knob that tuned between a 3200K-5600K range.
This kind of lighting makes it more flexible to match the color of existing light sources.
