What is the ideal/best tint of LED for a bike?

[Zero_Enigma]

As the topic says I'm looking to find out what the best tint is. I spoke with Nite-Hawk a while ago and they told me they're not coming out with any new LED lights for thier AA line till they see some better LED's with the 5000k tint that they told me. Using this as my starting info I'm assuming 5000k is the ideal tint? :thinking: What about all these codes for WC, WD, etc?

Can omeone explain the Wx codes for me and what each Wx is best used for?

Thanks in advance.

<--noob in learning :wave:

I think that the best will be Cree WH tint. During ride you have to make a decision what way to chose based on what you see. To chose between ground / mud you need good color rendition soo warmer is better.

Define warmr color? Is that 5000k? WH = White Hot?

I have checked http://www.cree.com/products/pdf/XLamp7090XR-E_B&L.pdf and it does not explain what all the Wxx codes are.

Look here : Bin Coding: Color, Flux, Vf Charts (LuxeonI-III- V-Rebel, XR-E, SSC P4, Ostar) and use search next time .

Thank you for the visuals but it stilldoes not explain all the Wxx codes. I see stuff like WJ, WK, etc.. is there somewhere that exlains what the second lettering is? I'm assuming the "W" means "White".

Also the charts don't show the 5000k and other temperatures so I'm confused.

Like "WB/WC/WD/WE/WF/WG/WH/WJ/WK/WM/WN/WP PF"

What are the other Wx? Can some one tell me what the "X" color is and what temperature that "X" is? Thanks.
