LED Bin

[Shadar Al'Niende]

Ok guys, i used this site here (http://home.comcast.net/~theledguy/bin_codes/index.htm) to try to understand the Bin Coding, but I am lost. Maybe someone can help...

Here is a rough approximation of the back of my LED star.

and yes...i realize i missed the X in Luxeon :p

X - Photometric Flux 192.0 (min) to 249.6 (max) Lumens
3 - Color bin 530 nm (min) to 535 nm (max) wavelength
S - Forward Voltage 5.91 V (min) to 6.39 V (max)
6 - Color identifier - should be a G for green not a 6.

You are absolutely amazing! Thank you that was EXACTLY what i needed! :D


show off.

Jealous...



haha ;)

lol well i learned to.

Forgot to mention. 8000085 would be the serial number of the LED itself.

As far as showing off - I don't think so. If you are serious about this hobby, you should have all the LED info pdf's bookmarked for when people ask questions like this.;)

i was just kiddin acer. lol. i went through and i was like man this guy owns!!!!

http://www.philipslumileds.com/pdfs/AB21.pdfYou know what Ace?? You just reminded me of something important that I usually COMPLETELY forget and/or put out of my mind: the Photometric flux.

Not that this is generally a "thing" for our needs--we are usually (naturally) only ordering the brightest ones. As you know, sometimes it's version "X" or "J" or whatever--the "last one" in the series...

BUT... what I often neglect to remember is... the relatively WIDE VARIANCE within any given specification of the photometric flux code. You mentioned an important example with the Lux V:

You COULD get a Lux V with ~200... vs. one with closer to 250. This could produce a significant difference!

It may well be why I currently have a Lux V green that "kind of sucks" and a Lux V blue that is RIDICULOUSLY BRIGHT (seen in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUlV__E9V28)).

Thanks for reminding me, Ace! Reminding me that just when I think I'm getting the general idea of "what to expect"... oh no... no,no,no,no, NO. There are even MORE "random" things to consider.

LOL. Even Yoda (Michael Murphy) was telling me about how he has to hand select the LEDs for his limited edition Graflex chassis/sabers. No WONDER. *Sheesh*

It's just INSANE, all the variables. Drives me NUTZ. :rolleyes:
