Bin Coding: Color, Flux and Vf Charts and Links for Popular White LEDs

I was tired of looking up these charts online or in pdf format, so I put these charts together.

Enjoy...

ANSI White (Including Cree subdivisions)

* My "ANSI White" Chart covers the newer ANSI bin structures for Luxeon Rebel, Cree XP series (Outdoor, Neutral and Warm) and Cree MC-E (Neutral and Warm). Luxeon currently does not subdivide like Cree, so for example 5A1, 5A2, 5A3, and 5A4 would be considered just 5A for a Luxeon Rebel.

your "new luxeon" link points to the cree image.

Thanks for noticing...all fixed now.

hahaha... the bin on the Seoul chart closest to natural sunlight (warmest tint on the blackbody curve -- probably around 5000K) is called SUN

[Long John]

, much more easier, DF

Which Cree bin do the Fenix's carry.

Excelent! This should be a sticky.

[kungfufyter]

thanks for the great info!

errr...n00b question here: why do the charts for the cree XRE have 2 letter bins (W + another letter), but all manufacturers refer to T-bin or U-bin?

[johnny13oi]

What are the Vf of the osram ostars? I tried searching on google but could not find the answer .. thanks

+1 and Updated as new stuff comes out..

I think you might be mixing color coding with luminous flux coding. I'm guessing you mean something like a SSC P4 U-bin which would be equivalent to a Q2 or Q3 Cree XR-E in luminous flux.

I've searched as well and it doesn't seem like the Ostars are binned by Vf. I've updated above with the datasheet Vf info for both XR-E and Ostar.

I'll try and keep it updated.

grat tread,
great info
--> sticky, 2

[coyote]

great thread. many thnx!

yes to sticky.

[taschenlampe]

Great idea! Thank you!

There is a minor error in the flux bin list of the Rebel M and N bin –
10.0 should be 100.0 .


Thanks again

DOH!

Fixed and added some upcoming XR-E bins.

GOOD work there !!!
Thanx for doing this. I especially like the combined bin pic of all the LEDs of interest to us. Great reference.

P.S.: moved to the right forum .. this thread needs to be found

[tnuckels]

Let me also thank you for corralling this information in one place. Now, if I was just up to the task of truly understanding it all … so much homework to do …

My question regards an update to my Pelican 2390 I’m considering. Not knowing the bin or current the LuxIII inside the Pelican is running at, how safe am I to assume replacing it with one of the P4s that Fred is offering (V, W, or X) will be worth my efforts?

While the process is intriguing, I want to notice an improvement at the end of the day.

Never mind, Fred set me straight, as I was confusing color bins with fulx bins. It's all alphabet soup from here ...
