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 emitters are labeled with the CAT code following the format below.

ABCD

Where:

A — Flux bin (L etc.)

B & C — Color bin (For example 5J, 5D, 5L, 5M)

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 15 mA). 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 L135-xx80-xBHV-00001 & L135-xx80-xCHV-00001 ux bins.
