Luxeon binning guide, updated

idleprocess · Oct 4, 2004

I've never been a big fan of Lumileds' official binning specification guide, nor this commonly-referenced webpage whenever someone asks about Luxeon bin codes, so I've updated my own single-page guide:
Luxeon Binning Guide 1.1 (.PDF, 65K)

I'd appreciate any comments.

Here's the previous rev - larger, less informative, and more difficult to read:
Luxeon Binning Guide 1.0 (.PDF, 82K)

Nice, concise guide! Great work!

KevinL · Oct 5, 2004

Nice reference, including the examples /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Can I throw it in the MicroFAQ?

LED_ASAP · Oct 5, 2004

Great work! Makes our life a lot easier /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Unfortunately your color chart is wrong, though---it looks like the old version from the Shoppe. There had been a thread a while back that indicated the X0 and X1 should be on the green side, not yellow.

thanx.

The distinction you make for Lux III "S" flux bin applies only to the HD, not the SE. For the "S" SE the 51.7-67.2 applies.

KevinL:
Feel free to distribute or link to the document. Keep in mind that I'll be updating it sometime soon based on the feedback I've gotten. I'll save it to the same file after archiving the current one, so links should always be current.

LEDs_ASAP, Doug S:
Thanks! A corrected version will be out sometime this week.

idleprocess · Oct 5, 2004

Guide has been updated.

KevinL · Oct 6, 2004

Great! Link made. Hope it helps some lost soul who finds LumiLEDs' AB21.pdf intimidating /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Are there any flashlight manufacturers that use the U, V, W, X bins?

idleprocess · Oct 6, 2004

KevinL:
The chart in its current form is ready for any sort of distribution or linkage you might have in mind. I also added your site to the list of direct-link permitted sites.

dyschan:
U & V bin LuxV portables are readily available. W-bins can be had, but aren't easy to come by. X-bins do not seem to have been made (or at least released to general distribution) ever since the new white tint binning system was released.

U-bin LuxIIIs have been seen, but seem to be rarer than the X-bin V.

PhotonFanatic · Oct 6, 2004

Nice work, however, you have omitted the V0 color tint in your cool white tint table and listed YA twice.

idleprocess · Oct 7, 2004

I noticed that.

There's always the next revision... ...fixed.

Moe · Oct 7, 2004

Great!

Thank you very much.

I can't get to the .pdf document
Am I the only one? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

idleprocess · Nov 28, 2004

My webhost is down.

I could email it to you if you want - PM me or email the address in my profile.
