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
f
).
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 and 6500K emitters are labeled with a four digit
alphanumeric CAT code following the format below.
ABCD
A = Flux bin (D, etc.)
B and C = Color bin (For example 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 for 1/6th color bins and 8D, 8E, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8K, 8L,
8M for 1/9th color bins)
D = V
f
bin
Luminous Flux Bins
Table 7 lists the standard photometric luminous ux bins for LUXEON Mid-Power emitters (tested and binned
at 100mA).
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.
