LED Light Set

An LED light set is a collection of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) assembled for various illumination and decorative purposes. These sets are characterized by their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and versatility.

Material

• LEDs: The core component, typically utilizing semiconductor materials like gallium arsenide phosphide, gallium phosphide, or indium gallium nitride to produce light. Different semiconductor compositions determine the color of the light emitted.
• Wiring: Copper wires, often insulated with PVC or silicone, connect the LEDs and the power source. Wire gauge varies based on the set’s power requirements and length.
• Power Source: Sets can be powered by batteries (AA, AAA, CR2032, etc.), USB connections, or AC adapters. Some sets incorporate rechargeable batteries.
• Housing/Casing: Many sets feature protective housings made of plastic (polycarbonate, acrylic) or metal to shield the LEDs and wiring. String lights often use a flexible PVC or rubber coating.
• Controller (Optional): More advanced sets include controllers for features like dimming, color changing, and flashing patterns. These utilize microchips and electronic components.

Purpose

The primary purpose of LED light sets is to provide illumination or visual effects. They are used for:

• Decoration: Holiday lighting (Christmas, Halloween), event decorations, ambient lighting.
• Accent Lighting: Highlighting architectural features, furniture, or artwork.
• Signage: Creating illuminated signs and displays.
• Safety: Increasing visibility in dark areas (e.g., pathway lighting).
• Hobby & Craft: Used in DIY projects, model building, and artistic installations.

Function

LED light sets function by converting electrical energy into light.

• Electrical Current: A power source provides a direct current (DC) to the LEDs.
• Semiconductor Diode: When current flows through the semiconductor material in the LED, electrons recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons (light).
• Color Emission: The wavelength of the emitted light, and thus its color, is determined by the semiconductor material composition.
• Control Circuitry (if applicable): Controllers manage the flow of electricity to the LEDs, enabling features like dimming, color changing, and flashing patterns.

Usage Scenarios

• Indoor Decoration: String lights draped around furniture, walls, or windows. LED strips used under cabinets or around mirrors.
• Outdoor Decoration: Wrapping trees, bushes, or fences with string lights. Pathway lighting.
• Automotive: Underglow lighting, interior accent lighting.
• Commercial Displays: Storefront signage, product illumination.
• Photography/Videography: Providing supplemental lighting.

Common Types

• String Lights: The most common type, consisting of LEDs connected in series along a wire. Available in various lengths, colors, and bulb shapes.
• LED Strips: Flexible circuits with LEDs mounted on them. Can be cut to length and are often self-adhesive.
• Fairy Lights: Thin, delicate string lights often used for decorative purposes.
• Curtain Lights: String lights arranged in a curtain-like pattern.
• Rope Lights: Flexible tubes containing LEDs, often used for outlining shapes or creating illuminated signs.
• Spot Lights/Puck Lights: Individual LED lights used for accent lighting or task illumination.
• Color-Changing Lights: Sets that can emit multiple colors, often controlled via a remote or app. These typically utilize RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LEDs.
• USB Powered Lights: Convenient sets powered by USB ports, ideal for use with computers or power banks.
• Battery Powered Lights: Portable sets powered by batteries, suitable for areas without access to power outlets.

The declared goods, “led light set”, can be classified under several HS codes based on their specific composition and application. The following HS codes are relevant:

• 8539510000: This HS code covers Electrical filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) light sources; parts thereof: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources: Light-emitting diode (LED) modules. This is applicable if the “led light set” consists of LED modules as a core component. The first two digits, '85', indicate electrical machinery and equipment. '39' specifies lamps and lighting fittings. '510000' further defines light-emitting diode (LED) modules. The total tax rate is 55.0% (0.0% basic tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
