Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, represents a significant investment in advanced LED lighting production, specifically engineered to support high-volume, precision manufacturing with stringent quality control. This modern factory spans over 30,000 square meters and serves as the company’s primary hub for LED strip light production, integrating state-of-the-art automation with rigorous testing protocols to ensure product reliability and performance.
The SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines within the Jiangmen factory are a cornerstone of our capability. We operate multiple high-speed Yamaha YS series SMT machines, configured for optimal throughput and precision handling of miniature components critical to LED strip manufacturing. These lines are fully automated, featuring advanced vision systems capable of accurately placing components as small as 0201 metric package size, which is essential for the dense circuitry found in high-CRI and high-power density LED strips. The SMT process includes precise solder paste application via stencil printers, component placement, and reflow soldering in nitrogen-enriched ovens to minimize oxidation and ensure robust solder joints. This setup allows for continuous, high-yield production runs exceeding 12 hours, maintaining tight tolerances for consistent light output and color uniformity across every meter of strip produced.
Aging and reliability testing are deeply embedded in our manufacturing workflow at the Jiangmen site. All LED strip lights undergo a mandatory 72-hour burn-in test at elevated temperatures, typically 50°C, significantly exceeding standard industry practice. This extended aging process occurs in dedicated environmental chambers with automated monitoring systems that track voltage, current, and luminous flux in real-time, identifying early-life failures or performance drift before products leave the factory. Following the high-temperature aging phase, strips undergo a second functional verification test at nominal operating conditions to confirm stability. This dual-stage aging protocol, combined with 100% in-line automated optical inspection (AOI) after SMT and final electrical testing, ensures that only strips meeting our strict lumen maintenance and color consistency specifications are approved for shipment, minimizing field failures and supporting our long-term warranty commitments.
Our OEM capability for adhesive-backed LED strip lights is a key strength developed and refined at the Jiangmen facility. We offer comprehensive customization services starting from the reel-to-reel manufacturing stage, including tailored lengths cut to precise customer specifications, custom connector types and placements, bespoke PCB widths and copper weights, specialized silicone encapsulation profiles, and formulation of adhesive compounds for specific substrates or environmental conditions. The factory supports rapid prototyping with quick-turn SMT changeovers, allowing clients to validate designs efficiently. Crucially, we handle all aspects of OEM production in-house, from raw material sourcing through final packaging with custom branding, without requiring minimum order quantities for standard strip configurations, providing significant flexibility for partners seeking differentiated lighting solutions.
