For instance, a 24-watt per meter strip can produce up to 3,120 lumens per meter, providing intense illumination suitable for under-cabinet lighting, cove lighting, or retail accent applications.
Color Rendering Index (CRI) is another critical specification, particularly in environments where accurate color representation is essential—such as art galleries, makeup studios, and retail spaces. Beauty STC’s premium LED strips feature a CRI greater than 90, with some models exceeding 95. This high CRI ensures that objects illuminated by the strips appear vibrant and true to life, with excellent differentiation between subtle color shades. The use of high-quality phosphor coatings and rigorously tested LED chips enables this superior color fidelity.
In terms of environmental protection, Beauty STC offers LED strip lights with various IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to suit different installation conditions. Common configurations include IP20 for dry indoor environments, IP65 for resistance to dust and low-pressure water jets (ideal for outdoor or kitchen use with protective silicone coating), and IP67 for full dust tightness and temporary water immersion. These ratings are achieved through advanced manufacturing techniques, including precision coating and seamless silicone extrusion, ensuring long-term durability even in demanding environments.
Beauty STC maintains strict quality control throughout the production process, using high-grade components sourced from trusted suppliers. Each batch of LED strip lights undergoes rigorous testing for lumen output, color consistency, thermal performance, and electrical safety. This commitment to quality ensures long operational life—typically rated at 50,000 hours—and consistent performance over time. With UL, CE, and RoHS certifications, Beauty STC’s LED strips meet international standards for safety and environmental compliance, reinforcing their reputation as a reliable manufacturer of high-performance lighting solutions.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province serves as a cornerstone of our production capacity for high-quality LED lighting solutions. Strategically located within the Pearl River Delta’s robust electronics manufacturing ecosystem, the Jiangmen factory occupies a modern, purpose-built campus spanning approximately 30,000 square meters. This facility is comprehensively equipped for vertical integration, handling everything from component procurement and SMT assembly through rigorous testing, final assembly, and packaging under one roof, ensuring tight control over quality and supply chain efficiency for all products, including our range of bright LED strip lights.
Our SMT production lines represent a significant investment in advanced automation and precision. The factory houses multiple high-speed SMT lines featuring state-of-the-art placement machines from leading manufacturers such as Yamaha and Panasonic. These lines are capable of handling ultra-fine pitch components down to 0201 package sizes with exceptional placement accuracy, critical for the dense component layouts found on high-power LED strip PCBs. The process includes automated solder paste printing, high-precision component placement at rates exceeding several million components per hour per line, nitrogen-assisted reflow soldering for superior joint reliability, and comprehensive Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems after reflow to detect any soldering defects or component misalignment. This sophisticated SMT infrastructure ensures the consistent, high-volume production of reliable LED strip modules with minimal defects.
