Cree(R) XLamp(R) XR LED Binning and Labeling Cree XLamp LEDs combine the brightness of power LED chips with a rugged package capable of operating in excess of one watt. XLamp LEDs lead the solid-state lighting industry in brightness while providing a reflow-solderable design that is optimized for ease-of-use and thermal management. Lighting applications featuring XLamp LEDs maximize light output and increase design flexibility, while minimizing environmental impact. This application note describes Cree's procedures for sorting XLamp LEDs by color (dominant wavelength or chromaticity) and brightness (flux) and then lists the order codes encompassing these color and brightness groups for easy reference. Nomenclature XLamp LEDs are tested and sorted into performance bins. A bin is specified by ranges of dominant wavelength and brightness. Sorted XLamp LEDs are packaged on reels. A reel contains lamps from one bin and is labeled with its bin code. For more information on packaging, see the XLamp LED Data Sheets. XLamp LEDs are sold by order codes in combinations of bins called kits. Kits include a minimum of two dominant wavelength groups and two brightness groups. Order codes are configured in the following manner: Spatial pattern L = Lambertian G = Global * Kit number XR7090AA-BC-0001 7.003 ote: CLD-AP0 Application N Viewing angle (1 = 100 degrees) Color Color Codes RY = Royal blue BL = Blue CN = Cyan GR = Green AM = Amber RO = Red-orange RD = Red WT = White * Global - an alternative white product that has higher efficacy with slightly lower color uniformity. Kit number 0001 is always the order code encompassing the broadest range of color and brightness groups.
