Technical Specs & Certifications
Stage lighting LED fixtures from Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional entertainment environments, combining high performance, durability, and color accuracy. These fixtures are designed with a strong emphasis on efficiency, color fidelity, and environmental protection, making them ideal for theaters, concert venues, television studios, and live events.
In terms of efficiency, Beauty STC’s stage lighting LEDs deliver an industry-competitive luminous efficacy ranging from 110 to 130 lumens per watt (lm/W), depending on the model and configuration. This high lm/W ratio ensures energy-efficient operation without compromising brightness, enabling powerful illumination output while minimizing power consumption and heat generation. Such efficiency supports prolonged usage during extended performances and reduces operational costs over time.
A hallmark of Beauty STC’s stage lighting is its exceptional color rendering capability. All premium models are designed to achieve a Color Rendering Index (CRI) greater than 90, with many reaching CRI values of 95 or higher. This high CRI ensures that stage performers and set designs are rendered in true-to-life color under artificial lighting, which is critical for live broadcasts and high-end theatrical productions. Additionally, several fixtures offer extended spectral coverage, including high R9 (red rendering) values, further enhancing skin tones and color vibrancy on stage.
With regard to environmental protection, Beauty STC integrates robust ingress protection (IP) ratings into its stage lighting solutions. Most indoor stage fixtures are rated at a minimum of IP20, providing protection against solid object intrusion, while models designed for outdoor use or challenging environments meet IP65 or higher standards. These higher IP ratings ensure complete dust tightness and protection against low-pressure water jets, making the fixtures suitable for outdoor stages, mobile tours, and installations exposed to moisture or dust. The sealed optical compartments and rugged housing materials further enhance reliability in demanding conditions.
Beauty STC’s commitment to quality is evident in every stage lighting product. The company adheres to strict manufacturing standards, utilizing high-grade LED chips from trusted suppliers, precision-engineered heat sinks for thermal management, and advanced optical systems for beam control. Each fixture undergoes rigorous testing for photometric performance, thermal stability, and long-term reliability. With a focus on durability, consistency, and superior light quality, Beauty STC has established itself as a trusted name in professional stage lighting, delivering solutions that perform flawlessly under pressure and stand the test of time.
Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, serves as a primary production hub for our advanced LED lighting products, including specialized stage lighting solutions. This modern factory spans over 20,000 square meters and integrates vertically controlled manufacturing processes under one roof, ensuring stringent quality oversight from component sourcing to final assembly. The facility operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, with dedicated cleanrooms for critical production stages to maintain industry-leading standards for precision electronics manufacturing.
Our surface mount technology (SMT) production lines are equipped with high-precision machinery, including Yamaha YS24 series and Panasonic NPM-G modular placement systems. These machines handle components down to 0201 package sizes with placement accuracy of ±25μm, essential for the dense thermal and optical layouts required in stage lighting PCBs. Dual-line configurations support both high-volume production and flexible small-batch runs, featuring automated optical inspection (AOI) stations after each reflow oven to detect solder defects, component misalignment, or tombstoning in real-time. The SMT process is optimized for thermal management substrates common in high-power stage LED arrays, utilizing nitrogen-assisted reflow profiles to prevent oxidation on critical thermal pads.
Aging and reliability testing constitute a non-negotiable phase for all stage lighting products. Every unit undergoes a minimum 72-hour continuous burn-in test at 45°C ambient temperature, simulating accelerated operational stress. This process includes dynamic thermal cycling where lights operate at full intensity while subjected to rapid temperature fluctuations between 15°C and 60°C, replicating real-world stage environment transitions. Electrical stress testing involves voltage spikes up to 110% of rated input and harmonic distortion analysis to ensure resilience against power grid instabilities common in entertainment venues. Units failing any parameter during this phase are automatically quarantined for root-cause analysis, with failure data feeding directly into our Six Sigma quality improvement cycles.

Application Scenarios
Stage lighting LED fixtures are designed to create dynamic, colorful, and intense illumination typically associated with performance environments. While they are primarily used in theaters, concert venues, and entertainment stages, their application in commercial spaces like hotels, malls, and offices should be carefully considered based on the intended ambiance and functionality.
In hotels, stage lighting LEDs can be used selectively in ballrooms, banquet halls, or entertainment lounges where dynamic lighting effects enhance guest experiences during events, live performances, or themed evenings. These areas benefit from color-changing RGB LEDs, moving heads, or wash lights to create mood-based atmospheres. However, stage lighting is not suitable for general guest rooms, corridors, or reception areas where uniform, comfortable illumination is required.
In malls, stage lighting LEDs may be applied in central atriums or event spaces during promotional campaigns, fashion shows, or seasonal celebrations. The dramatic effect of spotlighting or color washes can draw attention to displays or stages. However, for regular retail lighting, standard architectural or accent LED lighting is more appropriate to ensure visual comfort and accurate color rendering for merchandise.
In offices, stage lighting LEDs are generally not recommended. Office environments require consistent, glare-free, and energy-efficient illumination that supports concentration and reduces eye strain. The intense colors, strobing, or movement effects of stage lighting can be distracting and counterproductive in workspaces. However, in creative agencies or corporate lobbies used for presentations or brand experiences, limited use of stage-style LED effects may be incorporated as architectural features.
Installation Tips:
Ensure proper mounting and secure rigging when installing stage lighting LEDs, especially overhead or in high-ceiling areas. Use trusses, clamps, or adjustable brackets rated for the fixture weight.
Position fixtures to avoid direct glare into occupants’ eyes. Use barn doors, lenses, or beam shaping tools to control spill light.
Plan for adequate power distribution and circuit separation. Stage lighting often requires dimmer packs or DMX controllers—ensure compatibility with existing electrical systems.
Provide sufficient ventilation around fixtures, as high-output LEDs can generate heat, especially in enclosed or crowded installations.
Use DMX or wireless control systems for synchronized lighting effects in larger installations. Pre-program scenes for different events to simplify operation.
Conduct regular maintenance checks on moving parts in intelligent fixtures such as pan-tilt mechanisms and color wheels to ensure longevity and performance.
Always follow local electrical codes and safety standards during installation, particularly in public or high-traffic areas.
