Technical Specs & Certifications
Beauty STC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. designs and produces high-performance LED landscape lighting systems engineered for demanding outdoor applications where efficiency, color fidelity, and environmental resilience are critical. Our technical specifications strictly adhere to and exceed industry benchmarks for professional horticultural and architectural installations.
Luminous efficacy for our LED landscape fixtures consistently achieves 120–150 lumens per watt at the system level. This measurement accounts for the entire integrated assembly—including the LED package, driver losses, thermal management, and optical components—not merely the bare LED chip. We utilize high-efficiency, thermally optimized drivers with power factors exceeding 0.95 and minimize optical losses through precision-engineered secondary optics. This ensures real-world energy savings without compromising light output or longevity, even in extended runtime scenarios typical of landscape lighting schedules.
Color rendering is a non-negotiable priority in our product development. All Beauty STC landscape LED fixtures deliver a minimum CRI (Ra) of 92, with R9 (saturated red) values exceeding 50 to ensure vibrant, natural rendering of foliage, flowers, and architectural materials. We employ proprietary multi-phosphor blends and rigorous binning protocols to maintain consistency across production batches. For premium applications, our high-CRI series achieves Ra >95 with TM-30 Rf >90 and Rg >100, providing superior color discrimination and visual comfort essential for high-end residential and commercial landscapes.
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings are rigorously validated for actual field performance. Our standard landscape fixtures meet IP67 certification, confirming complete dust resistance and the ability to withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Critical components—including lens gaskets, cable entry points, and driver compartments—utilize marine-grade silicone seals and corrosion-resistant housings (typically die-cast aluminum or UV-stabilized polycarbonate) to maintain integrity against prolonged exposure to rain, sprinklers, and soil moisture. For submersible applications like pond or fountain lighting, select models achieve IP68 certification with validated submersion depths of 3 meters for continuous operation.
Beauty STC’s commitment to quality is embedded in every stage of production. We implement stringent in-house testing protocols exceeding IEC 60598 standards, including 1,000-hour accelerated weathering tests, thermal imaging validation, and LM-80 lifetime testing for all LED modules. Our fixtures feature copper-core MCPCBs for optimal heat dissipation, reducing lumen depreciation to L90 >50,000 hours at 25°C ambient. Components are sourced from Tier-1 suppliers with full traceability, and every batch undergoes photometric verification in our ISO 17025-accredited laboratory. This systematic approach ensures consistent performance, reliability, and compliance with global safety standards, making Beauty STC a trusted partner for specifiers who demand fail-safe operation in challenging outdoor environments.

Application Scenarios
LED lighting for landscape applications in commercial settings such as hotels, malls, and offices serves distinct purposes beyond basic illumination, enhancing aesthetics, safety, and brand identity. In hotels, strategic landscape lighting is essential for creating an inviting guest experience. Focus on illuminating entrance canopies, porte-cocheres, and pathways with warm white (2700K-3000K) fixtures to convey luxury and warmth. Accent lighting for architectural features like fountains, courtyards, or signature landscaping elements using carefully positioned ground recessed lights or bollards reinforces the property’s premium image. Pool and spa areas require wet-location rated submersible or perimeter LED fixtures with robust IP68 ratings for safety and ambiance, while perimeter pathways need consistent, glare-free illumination at approximately 5-10 lux to ensure guest safety after dark without disrupting the tranquil environment.
Malls leverage landscape lighting primarily for high-impact visual appeal and extended operational hours. Bright, even illumination of main entrances and pedestrian plazas using high-lumen wall packs or tall bollards in neutral white (3500K-4000K) maximizes visibility and draws customers. Facade grazing with linear LED strips or narrow-beam spotlights highlights architectural details, creating a dynamic streetscape that supports branding and nighttime recognition. Parking lot lighting must prioritize uniformity and safety with high-mast or pole-mounted LED area lights delivering 20-30 lux minimum, utilizing motion sensors in low-traffic zones for energy savings. Landscaped medians and tree uplighting with directional well lights enhance the pedestrian journey between parking and entrances, subtly guiding foot traffic while maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.
Office complexes employ landscape lighting more functionally but with increasing emphasis on corporate image. Employee and visitor safety is paramount, requiring well-lit pathways, stair edges, and parking structures with consistent cool white (4000K) lighting at 10-15 lux. Subtle accent lighting for corporate signage, reception canopies, or mature trees using discreet well lights projects professionalism after business hours. Loading docks and service areas need high-intensity, vandal-resistant fixtures for security and operational safety, often controlled by dusk-to-dawn sensors. While less decorative than hospitality settings, thoughtfully designed office landscape lighting reduces liability risks and conveys attention to detail in facility management.
Installation requires meticulous planning to ensure performance and longevity. Always verify the IP rating matches the environment; IP67 is the absolute minimum for in-ground or exposed fixtures, with IP68 mandatory for submersion. Conduct voltage drop calculations for all runs exceeding 15 meters, especially with 12V systems, using appropriate gauge wire to prevent flickering or reduced output—consider remote drivers for long cable runs. Thermal management is critical; ensure adequate airflow around drivers housed in junction boxes and avoid burying non-rated components. Use direct-burial rated conduit for all underground wiring and implement proper grounding per local electrical codes. For pathway lighting, stagger fixture placement to eliminate dark spots and maintain mounting heights consistent with the application—typically 300-600mm for bollards. Finally, integrate controls early; 0-10V dimming or DALI systems allow adaptive scheduling for energy savings, particularly in malls and office perimeters, while ensuring all connections are sealed with dielectric grease to prevent moisture ingress at connectors.
