The invention discloses lighting equipment of which color temperature is controlled through temperature and a method thereof. The lighting equipment comprises a temperature sensor, a light intensity input part, a control unit and lighting equipment. The light intensity input part is used for inputting actually required mixed color light intensity. The control unit comprises a color temperature acquisition unit, a parameter storage unit and a three-color voltage acquisition unit. The color temperature acquisition unit is used for acquiring color temperature according to temperature values acquired by the temperature sensor. The parameter storage unit is used for storing parameters of three colors. The three-color voltage acquisition unit is used for acquiring voltage of three colors according to the mixed color light intensity, color temperature and the parameters of the three colors. Three-color voltage drives the lighting equipment for lighting. Color temperature of the light source of the lighting equipment can change along with the change of temperature so that the requirements of users for the lighting comfort level can be further met.
