Glossary
1)
Typical Values: Due to the special conditions of the manufacturing processes of LED, the typical data or
calculated correlations of technical parameters can only reflect statistical figures. These do not necessarily
correspond to the actual parameters of each single product, which could differ from the typical data and calculated
correlations or the typical characteristic line. If requested, e.g. because of technical improvements, these typ. data
will be changed without any further notice.
