Different Bins of Emitters.

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

Still new at this forum, I’ve noticed on FastTech that there are different bins of emitters. For example, Cree XM-L T6-4C or T6-3C or T5-5C.

Could someone explain the difference between of the bins?

Thanks in advance.

See the "Flashlightwiki.com" link to the left side under "Related Sites". Here is the "Brightness Bins" page. BLF's brted put this together and maintains it. The "T6" is the brightness Bin. The higher the letter & number, the brighter - go by letter first (i.e. a U2 is brighter than a T6, and a T6 is brighter than a T5). Then "3C" is the white "tint". See this page (click chart to enlarge). You generally have to move down a bin or two or three to get neutral or warmer tints.

Hope this helps.
