Notes for Table 5:

1.

Proper current derating must be observed to maintain junction temperature below the maximum. For more information,

consult the Luxeon Design Guide, available upon request.

2.

LEDs are not designed to be driven in reverse bias. Please consult Lumileds' Application Brief AB11 for further information.

3.

Measured at leads, during lead soldering and slug attach, body temperature must not exceed 120°C. Luxeon emitters

cannot be soldered by general IR or Vaporphase reflow, nor by wave soldering. Lead soldering is limited to selective

heating of the leads, such as by hotbar reflow, fiber focussed IR, or hand soldering. The package back plane (slug) may

not be attached by soldering, but rather with a thermally conductive adhesive. Electrical insulation between the slug and

the board is required. Please consult Lumileds' Application Brief AB10 on Luxeon Emitter Assembly Information for further

details on assembly methods.
