Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC operates a modern manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, strategically positioned within the Pearl River Delta’s advanced electronics manufacturing hub. This factory serves as a core production center for our LED lighting solutions, including specialized outdoor fixtures like LED bollard lights, and is equipped with industry-standard machinery and rigorous quality control processes. The facility layout emphasizes efficiency, with dedicated zones for surface mount technology assembly, mechanical fabrication, final assembly, and comprehensive testing.
Our SMT production lines are a cornerstone of the Jiangmen factory’s capabilities, featuring multiple high-precision machines from leading manufacturers. We utilize YAMAHA YSM20 and Fuji NXT III SMT platforms, chosen for their accuracy, speed, and flexibility in handling the diverse components required for LED lighting. These machines are fully capable of placing ultra-small 01005 metric package components essential for modern, high-density LED driver and control circuitry, alongside larger power components. Each line integrates automated optical inspection (AOI) systems immediately post-reflow and 3D solder paste inspection (SPI) pre-placement, ensuring first-pass yield and solder joint integrity critical for long-term product reliability in outdoor applications like bollard lights.
Aging and reliability testing are rigorously implemented at the Jiangmen site, particularly vital for outdoor-rated products such as LED bollard lights destined for demanding environments. We conduct multi-stage aging protocols. Initial burn-in occurs on dedicated racks where fully assembled luminaires undergo continuous operation at elevated temperatures, typically 65-85°C ambient within controlled environmental chambers, for a minimum of 48 hours. This accelerated stress test identifies early-life failures in LEDs, drivers, and thermal interfaces. Following this, samples proceed to our photometric laboratory for detailed lumen maintenance, chromaticity shift, and thermal performance validation against design specifications. Data from both stages is meticulously logged and analyzed to ensure compliance with stringent lifetime and performance claims, directly supporting the durability expectations for bollard lights installed in public spaces.
Beauty STC possesses significant OEM capability specifically tailored for LED bollard lights at the Jiangmen factory. We offer comprehensive customization starting from the initial design phase. Clients can collaborate with our engineering team to specify height, diameter, optical distributions (including asymmetric patterns for pathway lighting), thermal management solutions, driver topology (constant current, DALI, 0-10V), and material finishes such as powder-coated aluminum or stainless steel. Our facility handles the entire process in-house, from custom extrusion or casting for housings, SMT assembly of proprietary or client-supplied electronics, mechanical assembly, to final quality assurance. We support low-volume custom projects and high-volume production runs, providing full documentation, UL/cETL, DLC, and other regional certification support as required by the client’s target market. This integrated approach ensures OEM partners receive bollard lights that meet exact performance, aesthetic, and regulatory requirements.
Application Scenarios
LED bollard lights are ideal for enhancing safety, visibility, and aesthetic appeal in outdoor areas. They are commonly used in hotels, malls, and office complexes where exterior lighting plays a crucial role in both functionality and design.
In hotels, LED bollard lights are typically installed along walkways, garden paths, poolside areas, and parking lots. They provide ambient lighting that guides guests safely while adding a touch of elegance to the landscape. Their low-profile design ensures illumination without obstructing views or creating glare, which is especially important in upscale hospitality environments.
Malls use LED bollard lights in outdoor plazas, pedestrian zones, and parking areas. Positioned along sidewalks and entry points, they improve nighttime visibility and contribute to a secure and inviting atmosphere for shoppers.
