Technical Specs & Certifications
Beauty STC Manufacturing Co., Ltd. designs and produces high-performance LED luminaires with integrated optical covers meeting stringent technical requirements for professional applications. Our standard specifications for LED lights with cover emphasize efficiency, color fidelity, and environmental resilience, reflecting our commitment to engineering excellence and reliability.
Luminous efficacy for our standard LED light with cover ranges from 130 to 150 lumens per watt at 5000K correlated color temperature under standard test conditions (25°C ambient, constant current drive). This system-level efficacy accounts for optical losses from the cover, which is typically a high-transmission polycarbonate diffuser or prismatic lens. We achieve this through proprietary driver efficiency (≥92%) and thermally optimized heatsink designs that maintain stable output at 45°C ambient temperatures, ensuring real-world performance aligns with laboratory results. Efficacy is validated per IES LM-79 testing protocols, with full photometric reports available for each fixture model.
Color Rendering Index consistently exceeds 90 (Ra ≥ 92) across all standard color temperatures (2700K–6500K), with deep red saturation (R9 > 50) and robust fidelity for critical applications like retail and healthcare. This is accomplished using multi-phosphor LED arrays combined with spectrally neutral covers that minimize color shift. Our optical covers undergo rigorous batch testing to ensure Δu’v’ < 0.003 deviation from the blackbody curve, maintaining TM-30-15 Rf scores above 85. Unlike competitors, we guarantee CRI >90 throughout the rated lifetime (L90/B10), verified through accelerated lumen maintenance testing per IES LM-80 and TM-21 standards.
IP ratings are engineered to match application demands. Standard indoor fixtures feature IP20-rated sealed housings with vapor-tight optical covers to prevent dust ingress into the LED compartment. For wet or outdoor environments, we offer IP65 and IP66 models where the cover integrates seamlessly with silicone gaskets and corrosion-resistant housings, tested to IEC 60529 standards with 12.5mm nozzle spray at 100L/min for 15 minutes. Critical sealing points undergo triple-validation during production, including automated pressure decay testing at 0.5 bar differential.
Beauty STC’s quality differentiation lies in our vertically integrated manufacturing and uncompromising validation processes. All luminaires undergo 100% in-line photometric verification, 100% hipot testing, and accelerated environmental stress screening (thermal cycling from -40°C to +85°C). Our ISO 9001-certified facility implements Six Sigma controls on critical parameters like solder joint integrity and optical alignment, resulting in a field failure rate below 0.3% at 5 years. The optical covers themselves are UV-stabilized to <5% transmission loss over 50,000 hours and feature anti-glare microstructures that maintain UGR <19 in office settings without sacrificing lumen output. This holistic approach ensures every fixture delivers sustained performance that meets or exceeds the technical specifications promised to our clients.

Application Scenarios
LED lights with covers, typically featuring diffusers, lenses, or protective housings, serve critical functions in commercial environments by controlling glare, softening light distribution, protecting internal components, and enhancing aesthetics. Their application varies significantly across hotels, malls, and offices based on functional requirements and user experience goals.
In hotels, covered LED fixtures are essential in guest rooms where diffused ambient lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere without harsh shadows or glare, particularly above beds or in seating areas. Lobby and corridor applications benefit from linear LED troffers or downlights with prismatic or frosted acrylic covers to provide uniform illumination that guides guests comfortably while maintaining a high-end visual appeal. Back-of-house areas like staff corridors and laundry rooms utilize covered fixtures with robust polycarbonate lenses for durability and safety, ensuring consistent light levels in functional zones. Spa and wellness areas often require vapor-tight LED fixtures with sealed lens covers to withstand humidity while delivering a serene, glare-free environment.
Malls deploy covered LED solutions extensively in retail storefronts where track lights with adjustable lens covers highlight merchandise without causing reflective glare on glass displays. Common areas such as food courts and seating zones use recessed troffers with micro-prismatic diffusers to eliminate visual discomfort for diners under extended exposure. Restrooms and janitorial closets mandate IP65-rated LED fixtures with sealed polycarbonate covers to resist moisture, cleaning chemicals, and physical impact. High-ceiling atriums frequently incorporate linear LED high-bays with protective lens covers to maintain output consistency and simplify maintenance in hard-to-reach locations.
Offices rely on covered LED fixtures for visual comfort and productivity. Open-plan workspaces predominantly use recessed or surface-mounted LED troffers with parabolic or prismatic diffusers to minimize screen glare and provide uniform task lighting across desks. Conference rooms require adjustable downlights with frosted glass or acrylic covers to balance ambient illumination with video conferencing needs, avoiding hotspots on faces or tables. Executive offices often feature decorative pendant lights with fabric or opal glass covers for a professional yet warm ambiance. Server rooms and electrical closets utilize covered LED strips or low-bay fixtures with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses for safety and dust protection.
Installation requires careful attention to detail regardless of venue. Always verify the fixture’s IP rating matches the environmental demands such as humidity in hotel spas or dust in mall loading zones. Ensure diffuser alignment is precise in linear office troffers to prevent uneven light bands which disrupt visual comfort. Maintain adequate thermal clearance between the LED module and cover as trapped heat degrades performance; never install covers over non-ventilated housings unless specified by the manufacturer. For recessed downlights in hotel ceilings, confirm fire-rated housings are used with compatible thermal cutoffs when adding lens covers. In all settings, clean diffusers thoroughly before installation to avoid embedded debris causing inconsistent light patterns and schedule regular maintenance access points for easy cover removal during cleaning. Strictly adhere to the manufacturer’s mounting specifications regarding structural support, especially for heavy linear fixtures in mall atriums, and always de-energize circuits before handling electrical components to comply with local safety codes.
