Solid state lighting (SSL) luminaries are disclosed wherein the emission intensity of discrete light sources within the SSL luminaire can be varied to produce luminaire light having different characteristics. The present invention can utilize the unique circuit topology of SSL luminaires to vary the emission intensity of different types of LEDs in the luminaire. In some embodiments, the different types of LEDs are connected in respective serial strings, and the intensity of emission of the LEDs in each of the strings can be varied by changing the electrical signal driving the strings. In some of these embodiments, white light is emitted from the SSL luminaire by combining emission from BSY and red LEDs. For these embodiments the color changing solutions according to the present invention can include, as an example, changing color while dimming the luminaire, changing color between daytime and nighttime modes, and changing between most efficient and points in between.
