Brightness Bins

Here is the light output (or "luminous flux") data (in emitter lumens) for various bins of common LED models. The * denotes the highest bin currently available.

LED's are binned at some reference current, for example 350mA. Values shown below at other currents are based on the percentage read from the Relative Luminous Flux vs. Current graph in the LED's datasheet. This percentage is shown in the column headers below (reference current is 100%).
