Proportions of LED bins produced?

Hey everyone, I'll admit that I'm a complete novice when it comes to LEDs, but I have a quick (and maybe obvious) question.

After reading the topics on binning, I'm wondering how much of each individual Flux and Tint codes is produced, it seems like all we ever hear on makers of LED lights are only 2-3 specific tints/flux codes.

For example, for Cree lights, it seems like they're all either P4, or Q5-WCs, or they're Q2-4As, or with the newest lights, all the rage has been R2s, and more recently R5s, do lights in other bins actually exist? or are they simply nominal graduations used by the LED company and in reality the majority of LEDs produced are of a certain tint/flux combination?

I hope you get what I mean. On a side note, anyone know what bin my L2D-CEs are (not Q5)?

The entire gamut of bins exist, but CPF is only interested in what we consider the best at the time (sometimes the "flavor of the month"), so we are not concerned with the rest.

The non-flashaholics on the other hand don't care, and use them in general applications without much regard.

IIRC, most XR-Es are in the Q flux bins now. Most of the XP-G's production is in the R3 and R4 bins.

The L2D-CE has a P4 bin XR-E.
