Technical Specs & Certifications
The ‘onn’ brand LED light strips, while marketed through major retailers such as Walmart, are typically manufactured by third-party OEMs with specifications that vary across product lines and batches. As of current market offerings, many ‘onn’ LED strip lights feature a luminous efficacy in the range of 90 to 110 lumens per watt, which is competitive for consumer-grade LED strips. This efficiency level indicates a balance between energy consumption and light output suitable for residential ambient or accent lighting.
Regarding color quality, certain models within the ‘onn’ lineup advertise a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90 or higher—specifically labeled as CRI 90+—particularly in their high-CRI or “daylight” variants. A CRI >90 means the strips render colors with good accuracy, making them suitable for applications where true color representation is important, such as in kitchens, workspaces, or retail display areas. However, not all ‘onn’ strips meet this standard, so it is essential to verify the specific model’s packaging or technical documentation.
In terms of environmental protection, common ‘onn’ LED strips are available in both IP20 (non-waterproof, for indoor dry locations) and IP65-rated versions (dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets). The IP65 models are coated with a silicone layer, allowing for use in damp locations such as kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor covered areas, though they are not intended for submersion.
While ‘onn’ provides budget-friendly lighting solutions, the consistency and long-term reliability of these strips can vary. In contrast, Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. maintains a higher standard of quality control in LED strip production. Beauty STC’s strips typically achieve 100–120 lumens per watt, with rigorously tested CRI values exceeding 90—often reaching CRI 95+—ensuring superior color fidelity. Their products are frequently offered in IP65 and IP67 ratings, with robust silicone encapsulation and high-quality 24VDC or 12VDC flexible circuits designed for durability and thermal management. Components such as high-grade LEDs, precision-printed circuit boards, and consistent binning processes reflect Beauty STC’s commitment to performance and longevity, making their strips a preferred choice for commercial and high-end residential installations where reliability and optical quality are paramount.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. operates a modern LED lighting production facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, China. This strategically located factory leverages Jiangmen’s strong manufacturing ecosystem and logistics infrastructure to efficiently serve global markets. The facility is purpose-built for high-volume, high-quality LED product manufacturing, featuring advanced automation and stringent quality control processes throughout the production flow.
The surface mount technology (SMT) assembly lines form the core of our LED strip production capability. We utilize multiple high-speed, precision SMT lines equipped with industry-leading machines from manufacturers such as Yamaha and Siemens. These lines handle components ranging from ultra-small 0201 LEDs and resistors to larger ICs and connectors with exceptional placement accuracy. Our SMT capacity includes multiple parallel lines capable of processing both single and double-sided PCBs, supporting the complex multi-layer designs often required for high-density, high-CRI, and addressable LED strips. All SMT processes adhere strictly to lead-free soldering standards (RoHS/REACH compliant) and are monitored in real-time for placement accuracy, solder paste volume, and reflow profile consistency, ensuring the foundational reliability of every ‘onn’ branded LED light strip produced.
Rigorous aging and burn-in testing is a non-negotiable step in our quality assurance protocol, especially critical for LED strip longevity and performance consistency demanded by major retailers like Walmart for their ‘onn’ brand. Every production batch of ‘onn’ LED light strips undergoes extended aging tests under controlled thermal and electrical conditions. Strips are powered at or above their rated voltage for durations typically ranging from 24 to 72 hours within our dedicated aging chambers. This process, conducted in a temperature-controlled environment, actively identifies early-life failures (infant mortality) related to component weaknesses, solder joint integrity, or power supply issues before products leave the factory. Automated monitoring systems track voltage, current, and thermal performance throughout the burn-in cycle, ensuring only units meeting strict performance and stability criteria advance to final packaging and shipment. This comprehensive aging regimen directly supports the warranty commitments associated with the ‘onn’ brand.
