    Default Luxeon and Seoul P4 Colors by Bin code

    This is a repost from FX Sabers. Original thread:http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=18270.0

    He (Mort) is "still frustrated that I cannot incoporate luminance data (Brightness), perception of colour changes in linear relationship to luminance values, but the charts do give a good idea of the chrominance (colour, shade, hue)"


    EDIT: Wow, these pics are gigantic...I think we can wave the image size rule for these two though since they're so useful.

    Hi there,

    I did some work on converting wavelength (nm) values to RGB, using a small program WavelengthToRGB http://miguelmoreno.net/sandbox/wavelengthtoRGB/

    I have recently got interested in the saber scene, and managed to be lucky enough to get hold on a Master Yoda Graflex IV. The cyan colour caused me a bit of confusion in the beginning, so I decided to investigate the bin labelling for each Luxeon category, and I wanted to find a way to interpret this on screen with RGB colour data.

    I took the min and max dominant (nm) value for each Luxeon bin, and took the halfway point between them to get my RGB values.

    Please see the attached image, which shows the Luxeons grouped in colour category and then within that by bin code.

    Obviously this is only concerning shade/hue, no intensity/luminosity has been taken into account... If someone knows how I could do this using the data from Lumileds and then in Photoshop, please let me know.

    Hope it helps some people, when looking for a certain shade, remember RGB conversion will never be 100% accurate, and as such, this is only a guide.

    Make sure your monitor is calibrated as best you can.

    here is a similar one for the Seoul P4 products, this bin information was taken from March 2008, so I believe it still applies.....

    That is some very useful information. It helps to see it in that format.

    Dang, Shoot, Wow!!

    This is MOST excellent.

    I didn't know seoul P4's had BIN numbers

    Yikes those pics are huge!

    It's nice to see all of the colors on your screen at the same time:



    I took the liberty of saving this one in a smaller size. I hope the originator doesn't mind.

    That does make it easier to see them all at once.

    Excellent post, very handy. It surely helps out a lot when selecting a lightsaber´s LED.

    I wouldn't mind having one of those bin 2 red/orange LED's..be nice for a Golden Gate Bridge-inspired saber I've been wanting to do. About the right colour

    Pretty awesome information... and... not to be Devil's Advocate...

    ...but...

    ...until anyone can order specific bins WITHOUT having to buy the whole gald-darn ROLL of LEDs (say 100, 500, 1000 at a time)... it's kind of still a bummer.

    Although I'm looking fwd to the day SOME company offers that! And hopefully, it's with an LED that is desirable.
