Product Bin and Labeling Definitions
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there are variations in performance around the average values given in the
technical datasheet. For this reason, Lumileds bins LED components for luminous flux or radiometric power, color point, peak or
dominant wavelength and forward voltage.
LUXEON MX LEDs are labeled using a 4-digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:
A B C D

designates luminous flux bin (example: M=630 to 680 lumens, T=970 to 1040 lumens)
designates correlated color temperature (CCT) bin (example: 1=6500K, 2=5700K, 3=5000K, 5=4000K)
designates color bin (example: 3=3-step, 5=5-step, 7=7-step)
designates forward voltage bin (example: F=10.50 to 11.00V, G=11.00 to 11.50V)
Therefore, a LUXEON MX 12V with a lumen range of 630 to 680, color bin of 4000K, 5-step MacAdam ellipse and a forward
voltage range of 10.50 to 11.00V has the following CAT code:
M 5 5 F
Luminous Flux Bins
Table 5 lists the standard luminous flux bins for LUXEON MX emitters. 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 CCTs.
