Technical Specs & Certifications
RGB LED strips from Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are engineered to deliver high performance, vibrant color mixing, and long-term reliability for both residential and commercial lighting applications. When evaluating RGB strips, key technical specifications such as lumens per watt (lm/W), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are critical for ensuring efficiency, color accuracy, and environmental durability.
In terms of efficiency, Beauty STC’s RGB LED strips typically achieve a luminous efficacy in the range of 60 to 90 lumens per watt, depending on the specific configuration, LED density (e.g., 30, 60, or 120 LEDs per meter), and driver setup. High-efficiency models utilize advanced SMD LED packages such as 5050 or 3535, which enable bright, uniform color output while maintaining energy efficiency. These values place Beauty STC’s products competitively within the premium segment of RGB strip lighting.
Color fidelity is another hallmark of Beauty STC’s engineering. While standard RGB strips inherently face limitations in rendering certain wavelengths due to their primary red, green, and blue diodes, Beauty STC enhances color quality through optimized phosphor coatings and tight binning of LEDs. For applications requiring high color accuracy, select models incorporate additional white diodes (RGBW or RGBWW configurations) with CRI values exceeding 90. These high-CRI options are ideal for environments where natural color representation is essential, such as retail displays, hospitality lighting, or architectural accenting. Although traditional RGB strips may not render CRI in the same way as white light sources, Beauty STC ensures superior spectral balance and smooth color transitions through precision control circuitry and consistent LED matching.
Regarding environmental protection, Beauty STC offers RGB strips in multiple IP-rated variants to suit diverse installation conditions. IP20-rated strips are designed for indoor, dry locations where physical contact protection is minimal. For damp or outdoor environments, IP65-rated strips feature a silicone coating or extruded jacket that protects against dust and low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for cove lighting, signage, or outdoor facades. Fully encapsulated IP67 and IP68 models are available for submersion applications or high-moisture areas such as pools, fountains, or landscape lighting, with robust sealing ensuring long-term performance under challenging conditions.
Beauty STC’s commitment to quality is evident in every stage of production. The company adheres to strict manufacturing standards, utilizing automated SMT lines for consistent component placement, rigorous aging tests, and comprehensive quality control checks. All RGB strips are RoHS compliant and undergo thermal, electrical, and optical validation to ensure reliability across extended operating cycles. With decades of expertise in LED innovation, Beauty STC delivers RGB lighting solutions that combine high efficiency, excellent color performance, and durable construction—making them a trusted choice for professionals seeking dependable, high-quality LED strip systems.

Beauty STC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. operates a modern LED lighting production facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, designed to integrate advanced manufacturing with rigorous quality assurance. The factory spans multiple production halls housing state-of-the-art surface mount technology (SMT) lines critical for LED assembly. We deploy multiple Siemens X-Series SMT machines, specifically the X5 and X6 platforms, capable of handling ultra-fine pitch components down to 0201 metric sizes with placement accuracy of ±25μm. These high-speed lines feature 12-16 feeders per module, automated optical inspection (AOI) pre- and post-reflow, and nitrogen reflow ovens to ensure solder joint integrity essential for reliable RGB strip production. The SMT capacity supports both high-volume runs and flexible small-batch processing for custom orders.
Aging and reliability testing form a non-negotiable pillar of our quality system. Within the Jiangmen facility, we maintain a dedicated environmental testing chamber area where all RGB strip products undergo mandatory 72-hour aging cycles at elevated temperatures of 60°C ±2°C. Units operate at full rated voltage while dynamically cycling through RGB color sequences and white points to simulate real-world stress. Post-aging, automated optical inspection verifies color consistency, lumen maintenance, and absence of pixel failure. Thermal imaging cameras monitor hotspots during testing, and electrical parameters are logged continuously to identify early-life failures. This process ensures only units meeting our 50,000-hour L70 reliability standard reach customers.
Our OEM capability for RGB strip products is exceptionally robust, leveraging the Jiangmen factory’s flexible manufacturing infrastructure.
