Technical Specs & Certifications
The E12 LED lamp is a candelabra-based LED bulb designed for decorative and ambient lighting applications, commonly used in chandeliers, wall sconces, and pendant fixtures. When specifying high-performance E12 LED lamps with a focus on efficiency, color quality, and durability, several key technical parameters are critical.
Lumens per Watt (lm/W) is a primary measure of energy efficiency. High-quality E12 LED lamps from Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. typically achieve efficacy ratings between 90 and 110 lumens per watt. This range ensures significant energy savings compared to traditional incandescent or halogen equivalents while maintaining bright, consistent output. For example, a 5-watt E12 LED lamp can produce up to 550 lumens, effectively replacing a 40-watt incandescent bulb.
Color Rendering Index (CRI) is essential for applications where accurate color representation is required. Beauty STC’s premium E12 LED lamps are engineered with a CRI greater than 90, often reaching 93–95. This high CRI ensures that colors appear natural and vibrant under the light, making these lamps ideal for residential, hospitality, and retail environments where visual comfort and aesthetics matter.
Regarding ingress protection, E12 LED lamps are typically used in indoor, dry locations. However, select models from Beauty STC are available with IP44 or higher ratings when enclosed within appropriate luminaires, offering protection against dust and moisture. While the E12 base itself limits full environmental sealing, when integrated into suitable fixtures, these lamps can be used in damp locations such as bathrooms or covered outdoor settings. For standard open fixtures, the lamps are rated for indoor use with no exposure to direct moisture.
Beauty STC is recognized for its stringent quality control and advanced thermal management in LED design. Their E12 lamps use high-grade LED chips, robust driver circuitry, and aluminum heat sinks to ensure long lifespan—typically rated at 25,000 to 35,000 hours. All products undergo rigorous testing for flicker, surge protection, and lumen maintenance, complying with international safety and performance standards including UL, CE, and RoHS. This commitment to quality ensures reliable, consistent performance across diverse lighting applications.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, serves as a core production hub for our LED lighting solutions, strategically positioned within China’s Pearl River Delta manufacturing corridor for efficient logistics and supply chain access. The factory is purpose-built for high-volume, precision LED assembly with a strong emphasis on quality control and process automation, particularly for compact bulb formats like the E12 candelabra base LED lamps.
Our surface mount technology (SMT) operations are a cornerstone of the Jiangmen facility. We utilize multiple high-speed Yamaha and Yuema SMT lines capable of handling components as small as 0201 metric packages. These lines feature advanced vision systems for precise component placement, nitrogen-assisted reflow ovens for optimal solder joint reliability, and integrated automated optical inspection (AOI) stations after reflow to verify solder quality and component alignment. This SMT capability ensures consistent, high-yield assembly of the complex driver and LED circuitry required for E12 lamps, directly impacting product longevity and performance.
Rigorous aging and burn-in testing is non-negotiable for all E12 LED lamps produced in Jiangmen. Every single unit undergoes a minimum 72-hour aging process at full rated voltage and temperature, significantly exceeding basic industry standards. Lamps are mounted in custom fixtures that simulate real-world base-down orientation during this critical phase. We monitor for early failures, lumen depreciation, and color shift throughout the cycle. Units failing any parameter during aging are automatically rejected, ensuring only units demonstrating proven initial stability reach customers. This 100% aging protocol is a key differentiator in our quality assurance for E12 products.
Regarding OEM capability for E12 LED lamps, the Jiangmen factory is fully equipped to support comprehensive private label manufacturing. We offer end-to-end services starting from initial specification review and optical/thermal design validation through to final packaging. Our engineering team collaborates closely with clients to tailor lumen output, CCT options, CRI levels, dimming compatibility (including specifying compatible dimmers), and physical form factors within the E12 base constraints. We handle all aspects including custom labeling, packaging design execution per client requirements, and full regulatory compliance testing support for major markets (UL, DLC, CE, PSE, etc.). Production volumes are scalable from moderate initial runs to high-volume commitments, with a standard lead time of approximately 30 days for approved OEM specifications. Our vertical integration, from SMT assembly through mandatory aging and final QA, ensures consistent quality control essential for reputable E12 lamp OEM partnerships.
Application Scenarios
The E12 LED lamp, commonly known as a candelabra base LED bulb, is typically used in decorative lighting applications where both aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency are important. While it is not generally the primary light source in large commercial environments like hotels, malls, or offices, it does have specific applications in these settings, particularly in areas that require ambient or accent lighting.
In hotels, E12 LED lamps are often used in chandeliers, wall sconces, vanity fixtures, and decorative pendant lights in lobbies, guest room bathrooms, and hallways. Their warm color temperatures and elegant shapes contribute to a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere. In high-end suites or boutique hotels, designers frequently choose E12 lamps for their visual appeal in open-bulb fixtures.
In malls, usage is more limited but can be found in decorative lighting within lounges, restrooms, or themed areas such as food courts or premium retail zones. The E12 lamp helps maintain design continuity in fixtures where appearance matters more than high-intensity illumination.
In office environments, E12 LED lamps are rarely used for task or general lighting due to lower lumen output and directional limitations. However, they may appear in executive offices, reception areas, or conference rooms that feature decorative lighting fixtures, adding a touch of sophistication without compromising energy efficiency.
When installing E12 LED lamps, ensure compatibility with the fixture’s voltage and dimming system if applicable. Always check the maximum wattage rating of the fixture and choose an LED lamp with equivalent brightness but lower power consumption. Avoid installing in fully enclosed fixtures unless the LED is rated for such use, as heat buildup can shorten lifespan. For dimmable applications, use LED-compatible dimmer switches and verify that the bulb is labeled as dimmable. Finally, handle the lamp by the base rather than the glass to prevent oil transfer and potential overheating.
