The Cree XT-E LED is binned at a temperature of 85 degrees Celsius whereas earlier LEDs were binned at 25 degrees Celsius. The XT-E datasheet indicates that the LED is 14% brighter at 25 degrees, so here are two tables, the first table with lumen output at 85 degrees and the second with all of those numbers multiplied by 1.14.
