Nichia is a Japanese LED company. Their low powered LED's are still used in some flashlights.

For high power LED's the Nichia chromaticity binning codes are now based on ANSI White quadrants. A bin of SW50 is an ANSI bin of 5000K. The NVSSW119A and NVSW219A series LED's are similar to the Cree XP-G and available up to a B14 bin. The NVSW119A-H3 and NVSW219A-H3 have a neutral tint of 5000K and have a maximum flux bin of B12. The warmer high CRI NVSL119A-H1 and NVSL219A-H1 have a maximum flux of B10. Forward voltage bins are L (2.7-3.1V) and M (3.1-3.5V).
