HI Mike,
I know a little bit about the BIN process since I am in the electronics industry - the real meaning the acronym BIN is Brightness Index Number and yes there are color ranges as well controlled in a similar manner.
You are correct that different LED's have a different BIN value and color value. There are many makers of LED's these are usually rated in watts. Where the BIN comes in, is manufacturers sort LED by the brightness then label them accordingly with a BIN #. In order to obtain the same output from different BIN # LED requires a different resistor combination thus voltage that then equalizes the output across different BIN levels.
What the manufacturers who put these together (electronics assembly) they have what is called a variant map, which lists what LED BIN values map to which resistor values to create equal brightness output of an LED.
We supply software that automatically maps the variant of the BIN value to the correct resistor value during the manufacturing process and this ensures the light output across multiple units and final end product quality.
Yes, it is complex, but I wanted to clarify the binning process - its not putting stuff in bins..

Thanks for the in depth explanation Carl very helpful and appreciated
Thanks
