Binning

Arrow Lighting works closely with you to ensure optimal results on any binning requirement for consistent light output and color. Specific bin selection of LEDs may be necessary to optimize your lighting design for certain applications. In other cases, tight binning may not be required, or a system can be engineered with design methods to avoid or limit bin sorting and accept full distribution.

 

Arrow's expertise in working with manufacturers' binning variables, in conjunction with our large supply of inventory, enables us to assist with product selection and deliver consistent results. We offer tight binning for applications requiring closely matched LEDs, and we know how to eliminate bin sorting to save you time and money. By working with Arrow lighting specialists from the beginning of the design process, we can formulate designs that minimize binning requirements for your application and reduce component costs and lead times while still meeting your lighting needs.

CIE 1931 Chromatic Chart

 


LED manufacturers each have sets of parameters that define their own unique bin selections and are sorted by some or all of the following:

 

Brightness:

  • Luminous Intensity The power perceived by the human eye in a particular direction, measured in candelas.
  • Luminous Flux The total amount of power perceived in all directions by the human eye, measured in lumens.

     

  • Voltage:

    • Forward voltage, measured in volts

Color - Chromaticity:

  • Plotting x and y coordinates within the CIE 1931 chromaticity chart.
  • Specified dominant wavelengths, measured in nanometers.
  • Color temperatures, measured in degrees Kelvin, pertains to white light only.
