  Brown dwarfs undergo little change in near-infrared luminosity while cooling
from L to T spectral types, making the L/T transition (spectral types
$\approx$L9--T6) an ideal region to examine the differences in photometry for
binary and single brown dwarfs. We investigated the mean absolute magnitudes
for binaries and singles with parallaxes as a function of J-K color in the L/T
transition. Overall, binaries are on average $1-2\sigma$ brighter than singles
of the same color. We discuss the implications for candidate binaries that are
apparent spectral blends which span a broad range of luminosities, from the
brightest binaries to the faintest singles.
