Technical Specs & Certifications
Beauty STC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. provides high-performance LED components engineered for demanding commercial and architectural applications. Our technical specifications prioritize measurable performance, reliability, and color fidelity, directly addressing the core requirements of lumens per watt efficiency, high color rendering, and robust environmental protection.
Lumens per watt (lm/W) efficacy is a critical metric where Beauty STC achieves industry-leading results without compromising other parameters. Our standard high-CRI LED modules and COB (Chip-on-Board) packages deliver a typical range of 140 to 155 lm/W under standard test conditions (25°C ambient, 350mA drive current). This performance is realized through the strategic selection of high-efficiency mid-power and COB LED chips combined with optimized thermal management substrates. It is essential to note that achieving CRI >90 inherently involves a slight efficacy trade-off compared to lower-CRI alternatives; however, our proprietary phosphor formulations and optical designs minimize this penalty. Real-world system efficacy, influenced by driver efficiency and thermal design, is consistently validated through LM-79 testing per IESNA standards.
Color Rendering Index (CRI) performance is rigorously controlled to exceed Ra >90 across our specified product lines, with many offerings reaching Ra 95-98. We emphasize that high CRI is not solely defined by the Ra value; Beauty STC components maintain strong R9 (saturated red) values above 50 and balanced R-factors for R1-R15, ensuring accurate and vibrant color reproduction critical for retail, hospitality, and healthcare environments. This is achieved through multi-phosphor conversion technology and tight binning processes during manufacturing. Every production batch undergoes spectroradiometric verification to guarantee consistency, with detailed chromaticity coordinates (typically within a 3-Step MacAdam ellipse) provided in test reports.
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings define the environmental resilience of our integrated LED modules and linear system components. Beauty STC offers solutions rated from IP20 for indoor dry locations up to IP67 for demanding outdoor or washdown applications. Key offerings include IP65-rated linear strips and modules suitable for protected outdoor use and high-moisture indoor zones (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms), featuring robust silicone encapsulation and sealed driver compartments. For fully submersible or high-pressure wash environments, our IP67-certified products undergo stringent validation per IEC 60529, including 30-minute submersion testing at 1-meter depth. Crucially, our IP ratings reflect the complete assembled component—not just the LED source—ensuring the driver, connectors, and housing collectively meet the specified standard. Thermal management remains integral to maintaining IP integrity, with designs preventing condensation ingress during thermal cycling.
Beauty STC’s commitment to quality is embedded in every specification. All components undergo 100% in-line optical and electrical testing, with accelerated life testing (TM-21/LM-80) confirming L70 lifetimes exceeding 50,000 hours at 55°C case temperature. Our ISO 9001-certified manufacturing process includes rigorous incoming material inspection, SMT precision control, and final validation against IEC 62031 and IEC 62471 safety standards. Third-party test reports from accredited laboratories (e.g., SGS, TÜV) are standard, ensuring lm/W, CRI, and IP claims are not merely theoretical but field-proven. This systematic approach guarantees that Beauty STC LED parts deliver consistent photometric performance, color stability, and environmental resilience, forming the foundation for reliable, high-quality lighting systems in critical applications worldwide.

Application Scenarios
LED lighting solutions are strategically deployed across hotels, malls, and offices to enhance aesthetics, functionality, and energy efficiency. In hotels, prioritize lobbies and reception areas with high-lumen, tunable white LED wall washers or cove lighting to create an inviting ambiance that reflects brand identity. Guest room corridors benefit from low-glare, motion-sensor LED linear fixtures ensuring safety while minimizing energy use during off-peak hours. Guest rooms themselves require layered lighting: integrated LED downlights for general illumination, dimmable under-cabinet strips in minibar areas, and shielded bedhead wall sconces with warm CCT options to reduce sleep disruption. Critical zones like spas and pool areas demand IP65-rated LED strips and vapor-tight fixtures to withstand humidity and chemical exposure.
Malls require high-bay LED fixtures with precise optical control in central atriums to evenly illuminate multi-story spaces without creating dark zones on retail displays. Perimeter retail zones need track-mounted LED spotlights with high CRI (90+) to accurately render merchandise colors, while escalator landings require robust, vandal-resistant LED step lights for safety. Back-of-house areas like stockrooms and loading docks should utilize high-output, flicker-free LED high bays with emergency battery backups meeting local fire codes. Exterior facades and signage benefit from RGBW LED tape systems with weatherproof housings for dynamic branding.
Office environments necessitate uniform, glare-controlled LED panel lights or suspended troffers in open-plan workspaces, ideally with circadian lighting tuning capabilities to support occupant well-being. Executive suites and conference rooms require dimmable, high-CRI LED downlights combined with adjustable task lighting at workstations. Critical infrastructure areas like server rooms need thermally optimized LED high bays with extended operating temperature ranges, while restrooms require IP44-rated LED vanity mirrors and moisture-resistant ceiling fixtures.
Installation must begin with a detailed photometric study to avoid over- or under-illumination. Always verify compatibility between LED drivers and existing dimming systems—digital protocols like DALI or 0-10V are preferred over TRIAC for commercial stability. Ensure adequate thermal management by maintaining minimum clearance around drivers, especially in enclosed fixtures; never install LED modules directly against insulation without thermal gap pads. Use torque screwdrivers for electrical connections to prevent cold joints, and label all circuits during commissioning for future maintenance. Crucially, validate voltage stability at each fixture location before final mounting—commercial facilities often experience voltage drops that cause LED flicker. For suspended installations in high-ceiling malls, employ rigging certified for the fixture weight and always conduct a post-installation lux level verification against the design intent. Finally, retain all IES files and commissioning reports for client handover to streamline future retrofits.
