Factory Tour: Manufacturing Excellence
Beauty STC’s manufacturing facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, serves as a core production hub for our advanced LED lighting solutions. Strategically located within the Pearl River Delta region, the factory benefits from robust infrastructure and supply chain access while maintaining stringent quality control standards expected of a global supplier. The Jiangmen site is purpose-built for high-mix, medium-to-high volume LED production, featuring climate-controlled cleanrooms for critical assembly stages and dedicated zones for engineering validation.
Our Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines represent the backbone of LED module manufacturing. The facility operates multiple high-speed, precision SMT platforms, primarily utilizing Yamaha YS series and Panasonic NPM modules, capable of placing components down to 0201 imperial size with sub-millimeter accuracy. These lines feature fully automated pick-and-place systems integrated with 3D solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) stations, ensuring first-pass yield rates exceeding 99.5%. Typical throughput supports assembly of complex multi-layer LED driver and control boards at rates approaching 100,000 components per hour per line, with dedicated feeders configured for rapid changeover between customer-specific lighting products.

Application Scenarios
The concept of a “bed with lighting” is primarily associated with hospitality environments, particularly hotels, where comfort, ambiance, and functionality are key elements of the guest experience. While beds are not typically found in malls or offices, the integration of lighting into or around bed areas is most relevant and practical in hotel guest rooms and premium accommodations. Here’s a breakdown of where and how to use beds with lighting, along with installation tips.
In hotels, beds with integrated or surrounding lighting are commonly used to enhance the guest experience. This includes headboard lighting, under-bed illumination, reading lights, and ambient LED strips. These lighting features serve both functional and aesthetic purposes—providing illumination for reading or navigation at night while contributing to the room’s overall design and mood. High-end hotels and boutique properties often incorporate such lighting to elevate perceived luxury and comfort.
Malls generally do not include beds, so the application of bed-integrated lighting is not applicable in standard retail or common areas. However, if a mall includes unique features such as nap pods, relaxation zones, or sleep lounges—typically found in wellness-focused or high-traffic transit malls—then lighting around or within these bed-like structures can be useful. In such cases, soft, adjustable lighting helps create a calming environment and ensures safety during use.
Offices rarely include full beds, but some modern workplaces incorporate wellness rooms or nap pods for employee rest. In these spaces, lighting around the bed area should be subtle and controllable, supporting relaxation without disrupting others. Lighting here should focus on low glare, warm color temperatures, and easy user access to controls.
When installing lighting for beds in any setting, consider the following tips. First, ensure that all electrical components meet local safety standards and are installed by qualified personnel. Use low-voltage LED lighting where possible for energy efficiency and reduced heat output. For reading or task lighting, position fixtures to minimize shadows and direct glare—typically 36 to 40 inches above the mattress and angled appropriately. Headboard-integrated lights should be recessed or surface-mounted with smooth edges to prevent injury. Under-bed lighting should be diffused to avoid harsh lines and can be motion-activated for convenience. Always include dimming capabilities and user-friendly controls, whether through wall switches, bedside panels, or smart systems. Finally, coordinate the lighting design with the room’s overall décor, selecting color temperatures that support relaxation—typically 2700K to 3000K for a warm, inviting glow.
