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 and forward
voltage (V
f
). Color is oered in a single 5-step MacAdam ellipse color space centered on the ANSI CCT color bins. For
additional information please review the MacAdam ellipse technical denition section.
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
LUXEON R emitters are labeled using a two 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 2-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 LUXEON R emitters are labeled with a two digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below.
AB
A = Flux bin (J, K, L, M, N, P and Q)
B = V
f
bin (P, R, and S)
