On the same intersting thread (White LED lumen testing) at page 6 the results for Cree XR-E R2 bin. It seems better than Rebel in all the currents over 100ma, where I see an impressive 75 lm/Watt at 1A.. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=89607&page=6 regards Marco ---------- Initial Header ----------- >From : piclist-bounces@mit.edu To : "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." piclist@mit.edu Cc : Date : Tue, 9 Sep 2008 01:11:01 +0100 Subject : Re: [EE]:: Have I got an LED for you ... !!! > Not hugely impressive, given > http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2139614&postcount=127 shows > test results from almost exactly a year ago (real ones, rather than > manufacturer ideal conditions) of an LED which managed over 150lm/W at 20mA > and 140lm/W at 50mA (oh and also still over 100lm/W at 300mA and 70lm/W at > 1A!) > That's also actually about half the electrical input power coming out the > front as light given an ideal white source is only 243lm/W (the ideal for > the spectrum of a white LED is presumably a bit higher than that, given the > blue spike in the spectrum close to the eye's maximum efficiency). > > Chris > > On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 1:07 AM, Russell wrote: > > > At the bottom of this page of Nichia LEDs > > > > http://www.nichia.co.jp/de/product/led-lamp-flux.html > > > > you'll see an NSPWR70CS-K1. > > White LED, 7.62 mm square. > > 3.1 volt typical Vf at 50 mA. > > 20 lumen typical at 50 mA. > > (15.1 min to 25.5 max in 3 bins). > > > > Lessee. > > > > 20/(3.1x0.05) = 125+ lumens / Watt. > > > > Sounds of scraping chairs and stampeding feet. > > > > 140 lumens / Watt at 20 mA ! :-) > > 140 lumens / Watt at 20 mA ! :-) > > 140 lumens / Watt at 20 mA ! :-) > > 140 lumens / Watt at 20 mA ! :-) > > 140 lumens / Watt at 20 mA ! :-) > > 140 lumens / Watt at 20 mA ! :-) > > > > Unlike the others on the page there is no link to a data sheet. > > You can't buy this LED yet but you will be able to do so next month. > > Nichia have samples available. > > More scraping of chairs ... > > > > I have samples and a data sheet at my elbow as I type :-). > > Just arrived.
