Osram launches long-life Osconiq S3030 LED for professional mid-power lighting

With the market for LED lighting progressing rapidly and demand growing for professional components with long lifetimes and robustness, Osram Opto Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg, Germany has launched the Osconiq S3030 LED, designed to meet professional demands in general lighting applications and characterized by long life, high performance and reliability.

As Osram’s entry into the professional mid-power market, the Osconiq S3030 is suitable for use in outdoor and industrial lighting, offering durability even in extreme operating conditions. The individual components provide flexibility in forward voltage and luminous flux with an exceptional lifetime of 75,000 hours even at high temperatures. Together with an optimized phosphor, lead frame and chip design, the Osconiq S3030 raises luminous efficiency to 146lm/W. The 0.2W applications are especially suitable for linear lighting and fluorescent tube replacement.

“We have succeeded in developing an LED that is ideal for professional lighting solutions in outdoor, indoor and industrial applications,” says Wong Kum Yih, marketing manager for General Lighting. “With high-grade materials such as the proven Osram-designed sapphire chip and robust silicone, we have taken the stability of LED lighting to the next level,” he adds. “In addition to outstanding lifetime values, our customers also benefit from superior quality and improved performance.”

The Osconiq S3030 is available in two versions – a color rendering index (CRI) of 70 or 80 – with a power rating of 1.0W at 6V and luminous flux of 138-148lm. The footprint of both versions is comparatively small at 3.0mm x 3.0m x 3.0mm. The color temperature ranges over 2700-6500K. The beam angle of 120° and the extremely low thermal resistance of around 8.9K/W make the LED suitable for outdoor lighting.

In addition to the technical improvements, the Osconiq S3030 features professional-grade materials such as high-quality long-life packaging subcomponents and proprietary coatings. These materials have been validated by extensive robustness testing under extreme overload conditions. Also, the EMC (epoxy molding compound) lead-frame material provides the basis for much longer life and better reliability than conventional PPA and PCT materials, it is reckoned.
