I dont know the source of the one presented here but there is plenty of data sheets out there.

correction tested at 1000 hrs
I guess the chart is wrong because I did not see any Bridgelux listed as 85C only Cree and Luxeon? One other thing was on CRI, to explain CRI T5HO's are a perfect example. To our eyes they look bright and make everything look great, but to a meter they don't fair as well, both in foot candles and PAR. That was harsh I should of said they are not as bright as our eyes lead them to be?
