This is probably not the final format but i’m going to try to refine it a bit before I test every LED. Feedback welcome if you see something missing.

The goal of my testing is to figure out what LEDs are worth checking out and which ones should just be avoided. I’m not trying to take loads of beam shots or do death tests on the emitters, there is enough of that info out there.

I limited the measurements to the hot spot because these LEDs generally have an even beam, I assume that’s OK.

I can include voltage at each current if it’s helpful. I chose 5 currents (100mA, 300mA, 600mA, 1.0A, 1.5A). Seems like a good mix to me but open to feedback.

Here’s the lower flux binned 5K 90CRI (the small dog fart if you will):

I may need to come up with a good way to line up the S2+ SMO cause it looks like I have an outlier. In any case the Duv was a bit high with it as expected. The TIR’s were both pretty acceptable but without the other bins measured I wont make any final conclusions yet.

This CCT was between ~4750-4950K so on the ‘lower’ half of the 5K bins. CRI was between 91-93 (R9 54-67) depending on current and lens. Lower current = higher CRI and Frosted Carclo also gave the higher end of the readings with SMO reflector giving the lower end.
