Hello, I am the one doing the group buy on the Nichia NSPW500CS leds. When checking on the order I placed it now gives the option of choosing B1,2 or C0 color bins. Could someone tell me which is the best and I will select this on my order.

Here is a link to the datasheet. Check page 7 on the PDF. I may be wrong, but perhaps an a0 or b2? Any other comments or suggestions?

I don't know enough to about leds to understand the datasheet. Thanks for your help. Could someone verify before I change my order?

B2 is right on the planckian locus, between 6000 and 8000K and has a high color rendering index (+85)...

C0 could be nice also....color temperature is a bit lower (between 4500 and 6000K), but their CRI is also very high. I have an arc AAA with a C0 bin LED: beautiful white light (5500k) and very good color rendering...much better then any other LED i've ever seen. A little bit on the green side compared with normal A or B ranks.

The others are either too greenish (B0) or too blueish (A0)
