Mini Night Light
A mini night light is a compact, low-intensity lighting device designed to provide subtle illumination, typically used in bedrooms, hallways, bathrooms, or as a guide light in dark spaces.
Material
Mini night lights are constructed from a variety of materials, including:
- Plastic: Commonly ABS plastic, offering durability and affordability.
- Silicone: Provides a soft-touch feel and is often used in baby night lights due to its safety and flexibility.
- Metal: Aluminum or stainless steel are used for more premium designs, offering better heat dissipation and a modern aesthetic.
- Glass: Less common due to fragility, but found in decorative models.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a mini night light is to provide a sense of security and convenience by offering a gentle light source without fully illuminating a room. They are particularly useful for:
- Navigation: Helping individuals safely move around in the dark.
- Comfort: Reducing fear of the dark, especially for children.
- Convenience: Providing a soft light during nighttime bathroom visits or for nursing.
- Ambient Lighting: Creating a calming atmosphere.
Function
Mini night lights typically function using one of the following methods:
- LED (Light Emitting Diode): The most common type, LEDs are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and produce minimal heat.
- Incandescent/Halogen: Older models, less efficient and produce more heat than LEDs.
- Sensor-Activated: Many models include light sensors that automatically turn on when the room darkens.
- Motion-Activated: Some night lights activate only when motion is detected, conserving energy.
- Sound-Activated: Rarer, these activate with sound, useful in nurseries.
Usage Scenarios
- Bedrooms: Placed on nightstands or bedside tables.
- Hallways: Providing illumination for safe passage.
- Bathrooms: Guiding light for nighttime visits.
- Nurseries: Creating a calming environment for babies and young children.
- Children's Rooms: Reducing fear of the dark and providing a sense of security.
- Corridors: Subtle illumination for safety.
Common Types
- Plug-in Night Lights: Directly inserted into electrical outlets. Often feature a sensor for automatic on/off functionality.
- Battery-Operated Night Lights: Offer portability and are useful in locations without nearby outlets.
- USB-Powered Night Lights: Connect to USB ports, commonly found on computers or USB chargers.
- Touch-Activated Night Lights: Turn on and off with a simple touch.
- Projector Night Lights: Project images or patterns onto walls and ceilings, often popular with children.
- Smart Night Lights: Connect to Wi-Fi and can be controlled via smartphone apps, offering features like adjustable brightness, color changing, and scheduling.
- Portable Rechargeable Night Lights: Feature built-in batteries and can be easily moved around.
- Animal/Character Shaped Night Lights: Designed to appeal to children, often featuring cute animal or cartoon character designs.
The declared goods are mini night lights, which are small lighting devices typically used to provide a dim light source for illumination in dark environments, often in bedrooms, hallways, or as safety lights. They are generally powered by electricity or batteries and may incorporate LED technology.
Based on the provided reference material, the following HS codes are relevant:
- 8539293060: 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: Other filament lamps, excluding ultraviolet or infrared lamps: Other: Designed for a voltage not exceeding 100 V: Other Other: Other. This code covers other filament lamps (excluding ultraviolet or infrared lamps) designed for a voltage not exceeding 100V, which could include mini night lights utilizing filament technology.
- 8539520091: 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) lamps Other. This code specifically covers light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, which are commonly used in modern mini night lights.
- 8531809051: Electric sound or visual signaling apparatus (for example, bells, sirens, indicator panels, burglar or fire alarms), other than those of heading 8512 or 8530; parts thereof: Other apparatus: Other Other. This code could apply if the mini night light incorporates visual signaling features beyond basic illumination.
