Ultra-efficient LEDs: Perfect for High-Performance Indoor Lighting Applications
High efficacy, deep dimming performance, reliability, robustness, and flexibility are crucial criteria for indoor lighting and applications. ams OSRAM is now presenting new mid-power LEDs that embody all these essential features. The OSCONIQ® S 3030 offers luminous efficacy ratings of up to 235 lm/W at 4000K (CRI 80) and advanced features such as deep-dimming capability and precise color control. The LED reduces maintenance cycles making it perfect for office panels, troffers, and continuous linear lighting. When integrated into high-bay and low-bay fixtures, it provides consistent illumination in warehouses and manufacturing spaces. With high color rendering options (CRI 80 and CRI 90) and a wide CCT range from 2700K to 6500K, the OSCONIQ® S 3030 also optimizes architectural accents and retail displays. Its superior hydrogen sulfide resistance and robust thermal cycling performance ensures long-term stability, even in harsh operating conditions.

A very close personal friend, confidant, mentor passed away April 18, 2025, at the age of 96. Willard Lee (Bill) Warren, an admired / venerable figure in his community and certainly in the lighting industry, his lifetime profession. I was one of the very lucky ones who worked with Bill over the years. We made many presentations together at industry events… he was the technical / intellectual and I was the marketing / academic. He was an engineer through and through, and my job was to keep telling him that you stick with the facts and I’ll do the selling job. He never listened… ….. He called me the Other Bill, unless I went first, then I called him the Other Bill. It was a blast every time. Bill led by example and his loss will be felt by his many friends and all of those who met him over an accomplished lifetime.
