Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC operates a modern, well-equipped manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China. This factory serves as a core production hub for our LED lighting solutions, including specialized products like 6-foot LED strip lights. The facility is designed for efficient, high-volume production while maintaining strict quality control standards compliant with ISO 9001.
Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines are a cornerstone of the Jiangmen factory’s capability. We utilize multiple high-speed Yamaha YS series SMT lines, specifically the YS12F and YS24 models, known for their precision and reliability in the LED industry. These machines handle the critical task of placing minute components, such as LEDs, resistors, and capacitors, onto flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) used for strip lights. The lines feature dual-lane configurations, enabling simultaneous production for increased throughput, and achieve placement accuracy consistently within ±25μm. This precision is vital for ensuring uniform light output and reliability, especially for densely packed high-CRI or high-power 6-foot strip variants. The SMT lines operate with a combined theoretical placement capacity exceeding 120,000 components per hour, supporting both standard and custom OEM production runs efficiently.
Rigorous aging and reliability testing are integral to our quality assurance process at the Jiangmen site. Every production batch of LED strip lights, including the 6-foot lengths, undergoes a mandatory 72-hour continuous aging test under controlled thermal conditions. Strips are powered at their rated voltage within environmental chambers maintained at 45°C, simulating accelerated operational stress. During this burn-in period, thermal imaging cameras monitor each strip for hotspots, and automated optical inspection systems check for flicker, color shift, or complete failure. Any units exhibiting performance deviations outside our tight tolerances are automatically rejected before proceeding to final packaging. This 100% aging test protocol significantly reduces field failures and ensures the long-term performance our customers expect from Beauty STC products.
The Jiangmen factory possesses strong OEM capabilities specifically tailored for 6-foot LED strip lights, which are a standard 2-meter length in the market. We offer comprehensive customization options to meet diverse client specifications. This includes providing strips with various color temperatures (from 2200K to 6500K), high CRI options (Ra>90, Ra>95), multiple dimming protocols (TRIAC, 0-10V, DALI, PWM), and different power densities (e.g., 14.4W/m, 24W/m). Clients can specify custom reel lengths, packaging configurations (individual boxes, master cartons with specific labeling), branding requirements, and even unique circuit designs or connector types. Our engineering team works closely with OEM partners during the prototyping phase, leveraging the factory’s SMT flexibility and in-house testing to validate custom designs before full production. Furthermore, the facility supports global market requirements, ensuring all OEM 6-foot strip light products can be manufactured with necessary certifications including UL/cUL, ETL, CE, and RoHS compliance, with documentation managed through our dedicated certification team. This integrated capability enables Beauty STC to deliver high-quality, reliable, and fully customized 6-foot LED strip light solutions to OEM partners with typical lead times of 10-15 days for production after order confirmation.
