Technical Specs & Certifications
Coloured LED lights from Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are engineered to deliver high performance, energy efficiency, and superior colour fidelity. These fixtures are designed for architectural, decorative, and commercial applications where both visual appeal and technical reliability are critical.
In terms of efficiency, our coloured LED lights achieve a luminous efficacy ranging from 80 to 110 lumens per watt, depending on the specific configuration and colour output. This high lumens-per-watt ratio ensures minimal energy consumption while maintaining vibrant and consistent illumination across red, green, blue, amber, and tunable RGB or RGBW variants. Advanced chip-on-board (COB) and surface-mounted device (SMD) technologies are employed to optimize light output and thermal management, contributing to sustained efficiency over extended operation.
A standout feature of Beauty STC’s coloured LED lights is the Colour Rendering Index (CRI), which exceeds 90 in select high-CRI models. While monochromatic LEDs inherently have limitations in CRI measurement due to their narrow spectral output, our white-emitting and polychromatic blended solutions—such as tunable white or full-colour mixing systems—utilize high-CRI phosphor-converted chips to ensure accurate and natural colour representation when combined or dimmed. This makes them ideal for retail displays, hospitality environments, and high-end architectural installations where colour quality is paramount.
Regarding environmental protection, Beauty STC offers coloured LED fixtures with IP ratings ranging from IP20 for indoor dry locations to IP65, IP66, and IP67 for outdoor and harsh environments. IP65-rated luminaires are dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for semi-outdoor installations. IP66 and IP67 ratings provide enhanced protection against powerful water jets and temporary immersion, respectively, ensuring durability in demanding conditions such as façade lighting, landscape installations, or marine environments.
Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is recognized for its stringent quality control, use of premium-grade LED chips from trusted suppliers, robust thermal management systems, and rigorous in-house testing. Each product undergoes aging tests, thermal cycling, and photometric validation to ensure long service life, consistent chromaticity, and reliable performance. With a commitment to innovation and durability, Beauty STC’s coloured LED lights set a benchmark in both technical excellence and aesthetic versatility.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, represents a significant pillar of our production capacity, strategically located within one of China’s most robust electronics manufacturing ecosystems. This modern factory is purpose-built for high-volume, precision LED lighting production, featuring extensive cleanroom environments and climate-controlled assembly areas essential for maintaining stringent quality standards, particularly for sensitive colored LED applications.
Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) operations are a core strength at the Jiangmen site. We deploy multiple high-speed, high-precision Yamaha YS Series SMT lines, capable of placing components down to 0201 package sizes with exceptional accuracy.
