Color accuracy is critical in desk lighting applications, especially for tasks involving reading, writing, or digital design. Beauty STC’s LED strips feature a Color Rendering Index (CRI) greater than 90, with some models achieving CRI >95. This high CRI ensures that colors appear natural and true to life, reducing eye strain and enhancing visual clarity. We utilize high-quality phosphor-coated SMD 2835 or 3528 LEDs, combined with precise binning processes, to maintain consistent color temperature—typically available in 3000K (warm white), 4000K (neutral white), and 5000K (cool white)—to suit various ambient preferences.
In terms of environmental protection, our desk LED strips are available in multiple IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to suit different installation needs. For standard indoor desk use, IP20-rated strips are suitable, offering basic protection against touch and dust. For environments where moisture or accidental spills are a concern—such as in home offices or creative workspaces—we offer IP65-rated silicone-coated strips. These provide complete dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets, ensuring long-term reliability and safety.
Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is committed to excellence in LED technology. Our strips are manufactured using strict quality control processes, including automated optical inspection and aging tests, to ensure uniform light output and longevity.
