3 7090 LED
Binning and Labeling
Cree XLamp 3 7090 LEDs combine the brightness of power LED chips with a rugged
package capable of operating in excess of three watts. XLamp LEDs lead the solid-state
lighting industry in brightness while providing a reflow-solderable design that is optimized
for ease-of-use and thermal management. Lighting applications featuring XLamp LEDs
maximize light output and increase design flexibility, while minimizing environmental
impact.
This application note describes Cree’s procedures for sorting XLamp 3 7090 LEDs by color
(dominant wavelength or chromaticity) and brightness (flux) and then lists the order
codes encompassing these color and brightness groups for easy reference.
Nomenclature
XLamp LEDs are tested and sorted into performance bins. A bin is specified by ranges of dominant wavelength and
brightness. Sorted XLamp LEDs are packaged on reels. A reel contains lamps from one bin and is labeled with its bin
code. For more information on packaging see the XLamp 3 7090 Data Sheet.
XLamp LEDs are sold by order codes in combinations of bins called kits. Kits include a minimum of two dominant
wavelength groups and two brightness groups. Order codes are configured in the following manner:

*Global—is an alternative white product that has higher efficacy with slightly lower color uniformity.
XLamp LED order codes specify package family, color, optical configuration (spatial pattern and viewing angle) and
kit number (combination of bins).
Kit number 0001 is always the order code encompassing the broadest range of color and brightness groups.
