Technical Specs & Certifications
Beauty STC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. specializes in high-performance architectural and decorative LED lighting systems, including advanced color-tunable and full-color-changing (“coloring”) LED solutions designed for professional applications where precise color rendering and reliability are critical. Our “coloring LED lights” refer specifically to tunable white (2700K-6500K) and RGB/RGBW systems engineered for dynamic color control in hospitality, retail, museums, and high-end residential environments.
Lumens per Watt (Efficacy) for these systems requires careful context due to the inherent trade-offs in multi-channel color mixing. Single-channel white LEDs achieve higher efficacy, but color-tunable systems involve multiple LED arrays and driver overhead. Beauty STC’s proprietary phosphor-converted amber (PCA) and violet-pump RGBW platforms deliver industry-leading efficacy for their class. Tunable white systems typically achieve 110-130 lumens per watt at 4000K under standard test conditions (25°C ambient, constant current), while full RGBW systems range from 85-105 lumens per watt depending on the commanded color point and output level. This performance is validated through IES LM-79 testing and exceeds typical market offerings by 10-15% due to our optimized thermal management and high-efficiency constant-current drivers.
Critical to color-critical applications is our commitment to Color Rendering Index (CRI) exceeding 90 across the entire tuning range. All Beauty STC color-tunable fixtures utilize a minimum 7-channel spectral engine (including dedicated red, amber, and lime diodes) to ensure R9 (saturated red) values above 50 and extended spectrum coverage. Tunable white products consistently achieve CRI Ra >95 and Rf >90 under TM-30-15 metrics, while RGBW systems maintain CRI >92 in white modes. This is accomplished through our patented phosphor blend formulations and spectral tuning algorithms, rigorously verified using Konica Minolta CL-500A spectroradiometers during production calibration.
IP Ratings for outdoor or demanding indoor environments are integral to our design philosophy. Standard color-tunable linear modules and downlights carry IP65 certification for dust-tight operation and protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction, suitable for covered outdoor areas and high-moisture interiors. For fully exposed architectural installations, our marine-grade aluminum housing systems achieve IP66 and IP67 ratings, featuring double silicone gasketing, corrosion-resistant anodization, and optical chamber sealing validated through 1,000-hour salt-spray testing per ASTM B117. All outdoor-rated products undergo 100% post-assembly IP verification via automated pressure decay testing, not merely sampling.
Beauty STC’s quality differentiation lies in our vertically integrated manufacturing and uncompromising validation protocols. Every color-tunable fixture undergoes 24-hour burn-in at 75°C ambient, followed by spectral calibration using NIST-traceable equipment to ensure Δu’v’ < 0.003 across the tuning range. Our drivers incorporate 85°C-rated Japanese electrolytic capacitors and conformal coating for humidity resistance, contributing to a proven field failure rate below 0.5% at 50,000 hours. With ISO 9001-certified processes and adherence to IEC 60598-1/62031 standards, Beauty STC delivers color consistency and longevity that outperforms competitors, backed by a 5-year comprehensive warranty covering both lumen maintenance and color stability. This engineering rigor ensures our lighting solutions maintain specification-grade performance in the world’s most demanding architectural projects.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence

Strategically located in the Guangdong province, the Jiangmen factory benefits from strong industrial infrastructure and proximity to key supply chain networks, enabling efficient manufacturing and logistics operations.
The factory is equipped with state-of-the-art SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines, which are essential for the precise and reliable assembly of LED components onto printed circuit boards. These SMT machines ensure high-speed placement of small and complex electronic parts with excellent accuracy, contributing to consistent product performance and durability. Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems are integrated into the SMT process to detect defects early, ensuring high yield rates and superior quality control.
To guarantee long-term reliability, the factory conducts comprehensive aging tests on finished LED lighting products. Typically, these tests involve operating the lights continuously under elevated temperature and voltage conditions for periods ranging from 24 to 72 hours. This process helps identify early failures, validates thermal management design, and ensures that only stable, high-performance products are shipped to customers.
Beauty STC also offers strong OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) capabilities, particularly in the customization of colored LED lights. The factory can tailor color specifications according to client requirements, including RGB, tunable white, or custom color temperatures and hues. This flexibility is supported by advanced color mixing technology, spectrometer-based color calibration, and strict batch consistency controls.

Application Scenarios
Coloring LED lights, more accurately termed tunable white or RGB/RGBW color-changing LED systems, serve distinct purposes across hospitality, retail, and corporate environments. Their application differs significantly based on the space’s function and desired psychological impact. In hotels, prioritize RGBW systems for lobbies, bars, and event spaces to create dynamic atmospheres—cool whites for energetic lounge settings, warm ambers for intimate bars, and custom colors for weddings. Guest rooms benefit from tunable white systems (2700K-6500K) synced to circadian rhythms, promoting relaxation at dusk and alertness at dawn. Avoid overt color-changing in private rooms to maintain a restful environment, reserving it for accent features like under-bed coves. Malls deploy high-lumen RGB systems strategically: feature walls in common areas for seasonal campaigns, dynamic pathway lighting to guide客流, and immersive displays in anchor store windows. Limit saturation in main corridors to prevent visual fatigue, using subtle white temperature shifts (3500K-4500K) near restrooms and food courts for cleanliness perception. Offices strictly use tunable white systems (3000K-5000K), never saturated colors, in open workspaces to support focus—cooler temperatures during core work hours, warmer tones pre-lunch/post-lunch. Reserve RGB for designated collaboration zones or break rooms where creativity is encouraged, ensuring controls are locked to prevent disruptive color changes in focused work areas.
Installation requires meticulous planning to avoid common pitfalls. Always integrate lighting controls with building management systems (BMS) via DALI or 0-10V protocols for centralized scheduling; standalone smartphone apps lack commercial robustness. Position color-changing fixtures outside direct line-of-sight—bounce light off coves or ceilings rather than exposing strips—to prevent glare and achieve uniform wash. For thermal management, maintain minimum 10mm spacing between LED strips and surfaces, especially on insulated ceilings; use aluminum channels with thermal pads even for low-wattage installations as heat accumulation causes color shift and premature failure. In high-traffic zones like mall corridors, recess all wiring in UL-listed raceways and seal end caps against dust ingress which causes flicker. Crucially, calibrate all tunable white systems to a consistent CCT tolerance (±50K) using spectrometer verification during commissioning; uncalibrated fixtures create jarring visual discontinuities in long spans. Finally, implement fail-safes: program default warm white (3000K) on power restoration to avoid disorienting color bursts, and isolate high-current RGB drivers from sensitive office IT circuits to prevent electromagnetic interference with data systems.
