Osram Opto launches quantum-dot-based mid-power LED at LightFair

Osram Opto Semiconductors used LightFair International (LFI) to debut the Osconiq S 3030 QD mid-power LEDs with the QD suffix referring to the fact that the LEDs rely on quantum dots to deliver a narrow energy peak in the red spectral region. The quantum dot technology enables the LEDs to deliver 173-lm/W efficacy in warm-white CCT with 90-CRI color rendering, whereas typical warm-white LEDs in the same class might deliver efficacy in the 140–150 lm/W range. Osram said at LFI that the new LEDs are available now.
