Technical Specs & Certifications
Beauty STC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. designs and produces high-performance 6ft (1.83 meter) LED strip lights meeting stringent commercial and industrial specifications. Our standard 6ft strips deliver 2800-3200 lumens output while maintaining exceptional efficacy. We achieve industry-leading efficiency ratings of 150-160 lumens per watt for our standard high-CRI offerings, with premium versions reaching 155-165 lm/W through optimized SMD 2835 or 5050 diode configurations and proprietary driver technology. This efficiency is maintained without compromise to critical color quality metrics.
Color rendering is paramount in our product development. All standard high-CRI strips exceed CRI Ra >90, with most standard products achieving Ra 92-95 and R9 >50. Our premium architectural and retail lines consistently deliver CRI Ra 95-98 with full spectrum rendering including strong R9 (saturated red) values above 90, ensuring accurate color representation for critical applications like retail displays and healthcare environments. This is accomplished through carefully engineered phosphor blends and strict binning processes during manufacturing.
IP rating options are clearly defined to match application requirements. Our standard flexible strips feature IP20 rating for dry indoor environments with robust copper PCB construction. For damp or washdown areas, we offer IP65-rated strips with silicone encapsulation protecting the entire circuit, suitable for under-cabinet lighting or retail refrigeration. For demanding outdoor or industrial settings, our IP67-rated strips utilize dual-layer silicone overmolding with integrated end caps, providing full submersion protection to 1 meter for 30 minutes. All protected versions maintain optical clarity through our proprietary coating process that prevents yellowing.
Beauty STC’s commitment to quality is evident in every 6ft strip. We implement rigorous in-process controls including 100% automated optical inspection and thermal stress testing during production. Our strips undergo 50,000-hour LM-80 compliant life testing with strict lumen maintenance criteria (L70/B50). We utilize only UL-certified components with 3000K-4000K color temperatures maintained within a tight 3-step MacAdam ellipse. Each production batch undergoes spectroradiometric validation to ensure CRI consistency, and we enforce a zero-tolerance policy for color shift with delta-u’v’ maintained below 0.003 over rated life. This disciplined approach results in field failure rates below 0.5% across our installed base, reflecting our engineering focus on reliability and performance consistency.

Application Scenarios
The 6ft LED strip light is a versatile solution for commercial applications where clean, continuous linear illumination is required without frequent connection points. In hotels, prioritize its use in guest room cove lighting above false ceilings to create a soft ambient glow that enhances perceived space and luxury. Install it within corridor soffits to provide uniform, glare-free wayfinding illumination that meets safety codes while maintaining a premium aesthetic. It is also effective under vanity cabinets in bathrooms for shadow-free task lighting and within display niches in lobbies to highlight artwork or branding elements without visible fixtures.
Within malls, deploy 6ft strips in suspended cove lighting systems along upper wall perimeters to wash architectural features with light, drawing the eye toward store entrances. They are ideal for illuminating signage headers and brand displays where seamless light lines reinforce visual identity. Install them beneath escalator handrails for safety accent lighting and within retail storefront window treatments to create dramatic backlighting for mannequins or merchandise. The consistent output minimizes hotspots that distract shoppers, particularly important in high-traffic zones requiring reliable operation.
For offices, implement these strips in suspended ceiling coves to deliver indirect ambient lighting that reduces eye strain in open-plan environments. They work effectively under raised floor panels to mark pathways in data centers or server rooms where minimal heat emission is critical. Integrate them within partition wall tops for gentle vertical illumination that defines workspaces without glare, and install in executive office bookshelves or reception desk undersides for sophisticated task-focused accents. The 6ft length reduces installation labor in long linear runs common in modern office layouts.
Prior to installation, verify local electrical codes and ensure the power supply matches the strip’s voltage and wattage requirements—calculate total load including a 20% safety margin to prevent overheating. Always mount strips on thermally conductive aluminum channels; never adhere directly to flammable surfaces like drywall or wood, as prolonged operation generates heat requiring dissipation. For runs exceeding 16ft, feed power from both ends to avoid voltage drop that causes dimming at the strip’s far end. Use professional-grade connectors with screw terminals instead of solderless clips for permanent commercial installations, and seal all connections with silicone conformal coating in high-humidity areas like hotel bathrooms. Test the entire circuit before final mounting and secure strips every 8 inches with channel mounting clips to prevent sagging. Finally, label all power feeds clearly for facility maintenance access, as commercial environments demand serviceability.
