Approximate color temps for bins and tints?

gav6280 · Jan 3, 2009

Does anyone know the approximate colour temperatures in K for the WC and WG colour tints for Cree Q5's and R2'S?

And what will be perceived to be brighter a WC Q5 or a WG R2? Will be driving at 1400ma.

This chart is from a data sheet on Cree's website. The bins and tints are a range since they can't make LED's perfectly. WG is between 5700K and 6350K, WC is between 6350K and 7000K.

Typically WC's appear brighter than most other tints. I think it is because our eyes are not used to seeing light at this color temperature, while a light closer to incandescent.. even if it is just as bright, seems more comfortable to our eyes.
