Product Binning and Labeling

Purpose of Product Binning

In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there is a variation of performance around the average values given

in the technical data sheets. For this reason, Lumileds bins the LED components for luminous ux, color and forward

voltage (V

Decoding Product Bin Labeling

LUXEON mid-power emitters are labeled using a four digit alphanumeric code (CAT code) depicting the bin values for

emitters packaged on a single reel. All emitters packaged within a reel are of the same 3-variable bin combination.

Using these codes, it is possible to determine optimum mixing and matching of products for consistency in a given

application.

Reels of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K, 5700K, 6500K emitters are labeled with a four digit alphanumeric

CAT code following the format below.

ABCD

Where:

A — Flux bin (L etc.)

B & C — Color bin (For example 2700K 80CRI has the following 9 color bins: 8D, 8E, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8K, 8L, 8M)

D — V

bin

Luminous Flux Bins

Table 7 and Table 8 list the standard photometric luminous ux bins for LUXEON mid-power emitters (tested and

binned at 120mA). Although several bins are outlined, product availability in a particular bin varies by production run

and by product performance. Not all bins are available in all colors. Please contact your Lumileds representative for

the L130-xx800020102R1 ux bins.
