Product Binning and Labeling
Purpose of Product Binning
In the manufacturing of semiconductor products, there are variations in performance around the average values
given in the technical data sheets. For this reason, Lumileds bins the LED components for luminous flux and forward
voltage (Vf ). Color is offered in a single 3-step or 5-step MacAdam ellipse color space centered on the ANSI CCT
color bins. For additional information please review the MacAdam ellipse technical definition section.
Decoding Product Bin Labeling
LUXEON Q 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.
Reels of LUXEON Q emitters are labeled with a four digit alphanumeric CAT code following the format below:
ABCD
A = Flux/Radiometric power bin (D, E, etc.)
B, C = Color bin (30, 3U, 3L, 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D etc.)
D = VF bin (Q, R, S)
