A daylight responsive lighting fixture employing two or more groups of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configured to emit light in different color temperatures, an optically transmissive light distribution sheet, and an LED driver electrically connected to the LEDs and having two or more LED intensity control channels and one or more pulse width modulation (PWM) circuits. The LED driver is configured to independently control the light output from the LED groups so as to vary the color temperature of the lighting fixture and to provide dimming of the LEDs in response to a change of the intensity of natural daylight incident onto an area of the lighting fixture.
