Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s primary manufacturing facility is located in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China, strategically positioned within the Pearl River Delta region for efficient logistics and access to a skilled technical workforce. This modern factory serves as the company’s core production hub for LED lighting products, including flexible LED strip lights. The facility is equipped with advanced Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines featuring multiple high-speed Yamaha YS series placement machines. These SMT lines are capable of handling ultra-fine pitch components down to 0201 metric package sizes, essential for the dense LED arrays and miniaturized drivers used in contemporary flexible strip designs. The machines operate under strict environmental controls for temperature and humidity, ensuring consistent solder paste application and component placement accuracy critical for the reliability of thin, flexible circuit boards.
Rigorous aging and reliability testing form a non-negotiable part of the production process at the Jiangmen factory. Every batch of LED strip lights, including adhesive-backed variants, undergoes comprehensive aging procedures. This involves subjecting the strips to continuous operational loads at elevated temperatures within specialized environmental chambers for a minimum of 72 hours. The aging process simulates extended real-world use under stressed conditions, allowing early detection of infant mortality failures in LEDs, drivers, or solder joints. Parameters such as light output maintenance, color consistency, and thermal performance are meticulously monitored throughout the test. Strips failing to meet stringent internal specifications – typically maintaining over 98% lumen output and exhibiting no visible defects after aging – are automatically rejected, ensuring only units with proven longevity reach customers. This commitment to burn-in testing significantly reduces field failure rates and underpins product warranty commitments.
The Jiangmen facility possesses substantial OEM manufacturing capability specifically tailored for adhesive-backed LED strip lights, commonly referred to internally and by customers as “wall glue strips” or adhesive-mount LED modules.

Application Scenarios
Wall glue strips are versatile adhesive solutions commonly used in hotels, malls, and offices for mounting lightweight fixtures, signage, and decorative elements without damaging walls or requiring drilling. In hotels, they are ideal for securing room number plates, wall signs, mirrors, or decorative panels in guest rooms and hallways where a clean, damage-free installation is essential for maintenance and aesthetic consistency. In malls, wall glue strips support temporary or permanent signage, promotional displays, directory boards, and artwork in high-traffic areas, offering a quick and removable mounting option that accommodates frequent layout changes. In office environments, they are frequently used to attach whiteboards, cable organizers, nameplates, motivational posters, or lightweight shelves to painted walls, glass, or tiles without compromising the building’s structure or finish.
When installing wall glue strips, proper surface preparation is critical. Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or wax—use isopropyl alcohol for best results on smooth surfaces. Press the strip firmly onto the back of the item for at least 30 seconds to activate the adhesive bond. Then, align the item carefully on the wall and apply firm, even pressure for another 30 seconds to ensure maximum adhesion. Avoid placing excessive weight on the strip beyond its rated capacity—typically listed by the manufacturer. For optimal performance, allow 24 hours before subjecting the mounted item to stress or movement, especially in environments with fluctuating temperatures or humidity. In high-moisture areas such as hotel bathrooms or mall restrooms, opt for moisture-resistant adhesive strips designed for such conditions.
