Old Power LEDs
These power LEDs are not so common these days, but the reference data might still be useful. The main Power LED table is on a different page.
Lumen rating at 25°C and LED tint is cool white unless otherwise mentioned. Beam angle is FWHM (full width, half maximum) – the width of the beam where the intensity drops to half the maximum intensity (ie, the intensity in the middle of the beam).

| This is about as far as you can go in the visible spectrum before getting into ultraviolet. The human eye is really insensitive to light of this wavelength and output lumens claimed by sellers is normally grossly exaggerated. |
