At Beauty STC, we recognize that a 100ft reel is far more than just a long strip; it’s a commitment to reliability, safety, and performance engineered to meet the exacting standards required to keep commercial and industrial operations brightly lit and efficiently running.
Technical Specs & Certifications
When evaluating 100ft LED strip lights with a focus on high performance and quality, several technical specifications are critical—particularly lumens per watt (lm/W), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Ingress Protection (IP) ratings. At Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd., our 100ft LED strip lights are engineered to exceed industry standards in all these areas, ensuring superior brightness, color accuracy, and durability for both residential and commercial applications.
Our high-efficiency LED strips deliver an outstanding luminous efficacy of up to 130 lumens per watt, depending on the color temperature and density configuration. This high lm/W ratio ensures energy savings without compromising brightness, making our strips ideal for long-term installations where operational cost and performance are key considerations. The strips are available in various densities—such as 60, 120, or 240 LEDs per meter—enabling precise control over light output and uniformity across the 100-foot length.
Color fidelity is paramount in professional lighting environments. Beauty STC’s premium LED strips feature a CRI greater than 90, with select models reaching CRI 95+. This ensures that colors appear vibrant, natural, and true to life, which is especially important in retail displays, art galleries, kitchens, and makeup areas. The use of high-quality phosphor coatings and tightly binned LEDs guarantees consistent color performance along the entire 100ft run.
In terms of environmental protection, our LED strips are available in multiple IP ratings to suit diverse installation conditions. IP20 variants are suitable for dry, indoor environments, while IP65-rated strips are encapsulated in a durable silicone sleeve, making them resistant to dust, moisture, and low-pressure water jets—ideal for outdoor eaves, signage, or damp locations. For fully submerged or high-moisture applications, we offer IP67 and IP68-rated 100ft strips, which are hermetically sealed to withstand temporary or continuous submersion in water, respectively.
Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. maintains rigorous quality control throughout the production process. Our LED strips utilize top-bin Samsung, Epistar, or San’an SMD chips, high-purity copper PCBs for optimal heat dissipation, and UL-listed drivers where applicable. Each 100ft reel undergoes extended burn-in testing and photometric validation to ensure consistent performance. With over two decades of LED innovation, Beauty STC delivers reliability, longevity (rated up to 50,000 hours), and superior optical performance—making our strips a trusted choice for lighting professionals worldwide.
