Got a quick binning question for anybody.
I know that higher number+letter is usally better, but it's also usually true that cooler-whites tend to be the higher bins also.
Looking at the XGP in the following bins for use in growing plants. Wanting slightly warm color and best output:
5B1 R4
4A0 R3
According to the Cree datasheet, 4A0 is ~4500k and is right on the BBL, nice.
5B1 is slightly warmer at ~4250k and also very close to BBL. It also is a higher bin -R4. Also says R3 is ~122lm/w and R4 is ~130.
Both are the same price of 5 bucks on a star if you buy 100 or more from cutter
Obviously I'd want to go with 5B1 R4, but for some reason I feel like double checking that it actually would be brighter and warmer... since usually I don't see higher bins with lower kelvins like this.
