LED Strip Light
An LED strip light is a flexible circuit board populated with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Commonly used for both indoor and outdoor illumination, they offer a versatile and energy-efficient lighting solution. The "khaki" designation refers to the color of the flexible backing or the emitted light itself, indicating a warm, muted yellow-brown tone.
Material
- Flexible PCB (Printed Circuit Board): The base material is typically a flexible PCB, allowing the strip to bend and conform to various surfaces.
- LEDs: Surface-mount LEDs are the primary light source. Common LED types include SMD (Surface Mount Device) 5050, 3528, 2835, and newer high-density options.
- Adhesive Backing: A self-adhesive backing (usually 3M tape) facilitates easy mounting.
- Protective Coating: A silicone or epoxy coating protects the LEDs and circuitry from moisture and dust. Some are rated for outdoor use with higher IP (Ingress Protection) ratings.
- Color/Housing: The backing material itself can be colored (as in the "khaki" example) or clear.
Purpose
- Accent Lighting: Highlighting architectural features, furniture, or artwork.
- Task Lighting: Providing illumination for under-cabinet spaces, workspaces, or reading areas.
- Decorative Lighting: Creating ambient lighting effects, mood lighting, or festive displays.
- Signage: Forming illuminated letters or symbols.
Function
LED strip lights operate on low-voltage DC power (typically 12V or 24V). They convert electrical energy into light through the semiconductor material within the LEDs. Features often include:
- Cutting: Most strips can be cut to custom lengths at designated cut marks.
- Dimming: Many are compatible with dimmers to adjust brightness.
- Color Changing: RGB (Red, Green, Blue) strips can produce a wide spectrum of colors. Addressable RGB strips (like WS2812B) allow individual control of each LED.
- Water Resistance: Some strips are waterproof or water-resistant, suitable for outdoor use or damp environments.
- Wireless Control: Bluetooth or Wi-Fi enabled strips allow control via smartphone apps or voice assistants.
Usage Scenarios
- Residential: Kitchen under-cabinet lighting, living room accent lighting, bedroom mood lighting, stair illumination, cove lighting.
- Commercial: Retail displays, signage, architectural lighting, trade show booths.
- Automotive: Interior vehicle lighting, accent lighting.
- Outdoor: Garden lighting, pathway illumination, deck lighting (with appropriate waterproof ratings).
Common Types
- Single Color: Emit a single color of light (e.g., warm white, cool white, red, blue). Khaki would fall into this category, representing a warm, off-white tone.
- Dual Color: Emit two colors of light (e.g., warm white and cool white).
- RGB: Emit a spectrum of colors by combining red, green, and blue LEDs.
- RGBW: Emit a spectrum of colors plus white light, offering more accurate white tones.
- Addressable RGB (Digital RGB): Each LED can be individually controlled for complex lighting effects. (e.g., WS2812B, SK6812)
- COB (Chip on Board): LEDs are closely packed together for a continuous, even light output.
- Neon Flex: Silicone casing creating a neon-like appearance.
- Waterproof Strips: Encased in silicone or epoxy for protection against moisture. IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings indicate varying degrees of water resistance.
LED strip lights, specifically those described as “khaki” in color, fall under several potential classifications based on their components and assembly. Here's a breakdown of relevant HS codes based on the provided reference material:
-
8541410000: This code covers Semiconductor devices, including light-emitting diodes (LED), whether or not assembled with other light-emitting diodes (LED). This is applicable if the LED strip light is primarily considered a collection of individual LEDs.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image transmitting or receiving apparatus.
- 41: Semiconductor devices.
- 410000: Specifically for photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells, and light-emitting diodes (LED).
-
8541420080: This code applies to Photosensitive semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled in modules or made up into panels; light-emitting diodes (LED): Photovoltaic cells not assembled in modules or made up into panels Other. This is relevant if the LED strip light utilizes individual LED cells not pre-assembled into larger modules.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image transmitting or receiving apparatus.
- 41: Semiconductor devices.
- 420080: Specifically for photovoltaic cells not assembled in modules or made up into panels, categorized as 'Other'.
-
5404900000: This code covers Synthetic monofilament of
67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm; strip and the like (for example, artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm. This may be applicable if the LED strip light incorporates a synthetic strip material as part of its construction.- 54: Textile fabrics.
- 04: Synthetic monofilament or strip.
- 900000: Other synthetic monofilament or strip.
-
5609004000: This code covers Articles of yarn, strip or the like of heading 5404 or 5405, twine, cordage, rope or cables, not elsewhere specified or included: Other. If the LED strip light utilizes yarn or strip materials not specifically covered elsewhere, this code could be relevant.
- 56: Textile and textile articles, not elsewhere specified or included.
- 09: Articles of yarn, strip or the like.
- 004000: Other articles of yarn, strip or the like.
-
5404198080: This code covers Synthetic monofilament of
67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm; strip and the like (for example, artificial straw) of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm: Monofilament: Other: Other Other. This is applicable if the LED strip light incorporates synthetic monofilament as part of its construction.- 54: Textile fabrics.
- 04: Synthetic monofilament or strip.
- 198080: Specifically for synthetic monofilament categorized as 'Other'.
It is important to note that the final classification will depend on the specific composition and construction of the LED strip light. If the strip light includes a backing material or other components, additional HS codes may be relevant.
