Technical Specs & Certifications
Long LED lighting systems from Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are engineered for high performance, durability, and consistent illumination across commercial, industrial, and architectural applications. These linear LED fixtures are designed to deliver superior energy efficiency, excellent color rendering, and reliable operation in diverse environments.
A key performance metric for long LED lighting is lumens per watt (lm/W), which indicates the fixture’s energy efficiency. Beauty STC’s long LED lighting solutions achieve luminous efficacies ranging from 120 to 160 lumens per watt, depending on the model and configuration. This high efficiency translates into significant energy savings and reduced operating costs over the product’s lifetime, making them ideal for large-scale and continuous-use installations.
Color Rendering Index (CRI) is critical in applications where accurate color representation is essential, such as retail, healthcare, and design studios. Beauty STC ensures that its long LED lighting products maintain a CRI greater than 90, with select models reaching CRI 95+. This high color fidelity ensures that illuminated surfaces appear natural and vibrant, enhancing visual comfort and space aesthetics.
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are a crucial factor in determining a fixture’s resilience to dust and moisture. Beauty STC offers long LED lighting solutions with IP ratings ranging from IP40 for dry indoor environments to IP65 and IP66 for damp or outdoor applications. Fixtures with IP65 provide complete dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for warehouses, parking garages, and covered outdoor areas. Higher IP66-rated models withstand powerful water jets, ideal for harsher environments such as industrial facilities and exterior facades.
Beauty STC’s commitment to quality is evident in every stage of manufacturing. Components are rigorously tested for thermal management, optical performance, and long-term reliability. The company adheres to international quality standards and employs advanced production techniques to ensure consistency and durability. With a focus on robust construction, extended lifespan (typically 50,000 to 70,000 hours), and minimal lumen depreciation, Beauty STC’s long LED lighting systems offer a trusted solution for demanding lighting applications.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC operates a modern, vertically integrated manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, purpose-built for high-volume, precision LED lighting production. The factory spans over 25,000 square meters and is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, featuring dedicated clean rooms for critical processes and stringent environmental controls to ensure product consistency.
Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) line forms the core of component assembly, utilizing state-of-the-art Yamaha YS24 modular placement machines. These systems handle components down to 0201 metric size with a placement accuracy of ±25 micrometers and speeds exceeding 100,000 components per hour per line. Dual-lane configuration allows simultaneous production of different SKUs, while automated optical inspection (AOI) stations after each reflow oven verify solder joint integrity and component alignment. The SMT process achieves a first-pass yield rate of 99.2%, supported by real-time statistical process control monitoring and humidity-controlled component storage.
Aging and reliability testing is rigorously enforced across all product lines. Finished assemblies undergo a mandatory 72-hour continuous burn-in at 50°C ambient temperature, simulating accelerated operational stress. During this phase, luminance output, color consistency (measured via integrated spectroradiometers), and thermal performance are logged hourly using automated data acquisition systems. Any unit exhibiting lumen depreciation exceeding 0.5% or thermal deviation beyond 5°C from baseline is automatically flagged for failure analysis. Post-aging, samples proceed to 10,000-hour LM-80 testing in environmental chambers to validate lumen maintenance claims, with results cross-referenced against IES TM-21 projection models for warranty substantiation.
