Note:
1. The radiant intensity, Ie, in watts per steradian, may be found from the equation Ie = Iv/ηv, where Iv is the luminous intensity in
candelas and ηv is the luminous efficacy in lumens/watt.

Notes:
1. Derate linearly as shown in Figure 4.
2. For long term performance with minimal light output degradation, drive currents
between 10 mA and 30 mA are recommended. For more information on recommended
drive conditions, please refer to Application Brief I-024 (5966-3087E).
3. Please contact your Agilent Technologies sales representative about operating
currents below 10 mA.
