Technical Specs & Certifications
When selecting lighting for a living room with a high ceiling, it is essential to balance brightness, energy efficiency, color quality, and durability. High ceilings—typically above 9 feet—require fixtures with sufficient lumen output and proper beam control to ensure effective illumination reaches the living space without creating glare or dark zones. At Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd., our LED lighting solutions are engineered to meet these challenges with precision and reliability.
For high-ceiling living rooms, a recommended lumen output ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 lumens depending on room size and ambient light. To achieve this efficiently, our LED fixtures deliver a luminous efficacy of 110 to 130 lumens per watt, ensuring bright illumination while maintaining low energy consumption. This high efficiency is achieved through advanced thermal management and high-performance LED drivers, both hallmarks of Beauty STC’s engineering standards.
Color quality is critical in living spaces where visual comfort and accurate color representation are desired. All our recommended fixtures feature a Color Rendering Index (CRI) greater than 90, with many options offering CRI >95. This ensures that fabrics, artwork, skin tones, and interior finishes appear natural and vibrant. We utilize premium phosphor-coated LEDs and strict binning processes during manufacturing to maintain consistent color quality across all units.
Regarding environmental protection, our indoor-rated fixtures are typically designed with an IP20 rating, suitable for dry, indoor environments such as living rooms. However, for open-concept spaces or areas near windows with potential dust exposure, we offer upgraded models with IP44 ratings, providing protection against dust and moisture ingress. While high-ceiling living rooms generally do not require high IP ratings, Beauty STC builds in robust ingress protection where needed, reflecting our commitment to long-term reliability.
Beauty (STC) Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is recognized for its rigorous quality control, using high-grade aluminum heat sinks, surge-protected drivers, and long-life LED chips sourced from trusted suppliers. Our products undergo extensive photometric testing, thermal cycling, and lifespan validation (typically L70 >50,000 hours), ensuring consistent performance over time. With a focus on both technical excellence and aesthetic integration, Beauty STC delivers lighting solutions that combine superior efficiency, exceptional color fidelity, and enduring quality for premium residential applications.
