White light quality and binning
In the production LED chips, LEDs of
diffe
rent production batches have different
properties with respect intensity, colour
temperature, colour location, with respect
to forward voltage.
In practice, MacAdam ellipses are often
used give users idea how far individ-
ual LED modules differ with respect colour
perception.
By using specific binning groups, colour
and brightness tolerances not just the
light emitted individual luminaires, but
also visible luminous surfaces are
reduced minimum.e. Thus, illuminated
surfaces and light emitting panels lumi-
naires are given uniform appearance. The colour difference between
wide-angle luminaires with high luminous flux
levels (replacing fluorescent lamps) consid-
ered excellent MacAdam ellipses. Depending the application and the
product, these features are weighted
differently
