Typical Forward Current Characteristics

CoolWhite, NeutralWhite, WarmWhite, Green, Cyan, Blue

Notes for Figures 14 & 15:

Driving these high power devices at currents less than the test conditions (350 mA or 1000 mA) may produce unpre

dictable results and may be subject to variation in performance. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is recommended for

dimming effects.
