Technical Specs & Certifications
LED light bulbs rated at 5000K refer to a color temperature that delivers a bright, cool white light, closely resembling natural daylight. This color temperature is widely used in commercial, industrial, and task lighting applications where clarity, alertness, and visual accuracy are essential. When specifying high-performance 5000K LED bulbs—particularly those meeting stringent quality standards—three key technical parameters are critical: lumens per watt (efficacy), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Ingress Protection (IP) ratings.
In terms of efficacy, modern 5000K LED bulbs typically deliver between 100 to 140 lumens per watt, depending on design, thermal management, and driver efficiency. High-quality units from reputable manufacturers achieve the upper end of this range, ensuring optimal energy savings and long-term performance. For instance, a 12W bulb emitting 1400 to 1600 lumens would operate at approximately 115–133 lm/W, placing it in the high-efficiency category suitable for energy-conscious installations.
CRI, or Color Rendering Index, measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects compared to natural light. A CRI greater than 90 is considered excellent and is essential in environments where color discrimination is critical—such as retail displays, medical facilities, art studios, and high-end residential spaces. 5000K LED bulbs with CRI >90 provide crisp, vivid illumination without distorting hues, enabling users to perceive subtle color variations. Beauty STC’s LED bulbs are engineered with high-CRI phosphor coatings and precision binning of LED chips to consistently exceed CRI 90, ensuring superior color fidelity across all production batches.
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings define the level of protection an electrical fixture offers against dust and moisture. While standard A19 or PAR-style LED bulbs may not carry an IP rating if intended for indoor dry locations, many 5000K LED bulbs designed for damp or outdoor use—such as those used in covered porches, garages, or enclosed fixtures—feature IP44 or higher. For more demanding environments like outdoor floodlights or industrial high bays, IP65 or IP66 ratings are common, indicating complete dust tightness and resistance to low-pressure water jets. Beauty STC integrates robust sealing and conformal coating technologies in applicable products to meet or exceed these IP standards, ensuring durability and reliability under harsh conditions.
Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is recognized for its commitment to quality, precision engineering, and rigorous testing protocols. Their 5000K LED bulbs undergo extensive thermal, electrical, and photometric validation to ensure stable lumen output, long lifespan (typically 25,000 to 50,000 hours), and compliance with international safety and performance standards such as UL, CE, and RoHS.
