INTRODUCTION
This document describes the product nomenclature re-
quired to select and order Cree’s XLamp MX Family of
LEDs. XLamp MX Family LEDs are tested and sorted
into bins which are then combined into orderable kits
identied by an order code.
All XLamp LEDs are tested and sorted by color
and brightness into a unique bin. Each bin con-
tains LEDs from only one color and brightness group
and is uniquely identied by a bin code. White
XLamp LEDs are sorted by chromaticity (color), lu-
minous ux (brightness) and sometimes voltage
and/or color rendering index (CRI). LEDs are shipped
on reels containing LEDs from one bin and are always
labeled with the appropriate bin code.
Kits contain LEDs from a number of similar bins and are
fully dened by their order codes. A full explanation of
the order codes for XLamp MX Family LEDs, as well as
a list of standard order codes, is provided in this docu-
ment.
