Caravan Interior (Roof/Ceiling) Lighting
Caravan interior lighting, specifically roof/ceiling-mounted lights, serves as a crucial element for functionality and ambiance within recreational vehicles (RVs) and caravans. These lights provide illumination for various activities and contribute to the overall comfort of the living space.
Materials
Common materials used in the construction of caravan interior lights include:
- Plastic: Lightweight and cost-effective, often used for the housing and diffuser. Acrylic and polycarbonate are popular choices due to their durability and resistance to UV degradation.
- Metal: Aluminum and stainless steel are used for more robust housings, offering better heat dissipation and a more premium aesthetic.
- LEDs: Light Emitting Diodes are the predominant light source due to their low energy consumption, long lifespan, and compact size.
- Diffusers: Typically made of frosted acrylic or polycarbonate to soften the light output and reduce glare.
Purpose & Function
- General Illumination: Provides overall brightness for tasks such as reading, cooking, and moving around the caravan.
- Task Lighting: Focused light for specific areas like kitchen counters, work surfaces, or seating areas.
- Ambient Lighting: Creates a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
- Safety: Ensures visibility within the caravan, particularly during nighttime travel or inclement weather.
- Emergency Lighting: Some models include emergency power functionality or integrated night lights.
Usage Scenarios
- RV/Caravan Living Spaces: Salons, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
- Camping: Providing light inside the caravan during off-grid camping trips.
- Travel: Illuminating the interior during nighttime travel or when parked in low-light conditions.
- Maintenance & Repair: Providing focused light for inspecting and repairing caravan components.
Common Types
- LED Dome Lights: The most common type, offering wide-spread illumination and low power consumption. Often feature multiple brightness settings and on/off switches.
- LED Strip Lights: Flexible and versatile, ideal for accent lighting or under-cabinet illumination. Available in various colors and brightness levels.
- Recessed LED Lights: Installed flush with the ceiling, providing a clean and modern aesthetic.
- Surface-Mounted LED Lights: Attached directly to the ceiling, offering easy installation and a variety of styles.
- Reading Lights: Small, adjustable lights typically mounted near seating areas or beds.
- Fluorescent Lights: Older technology, less common due to higher energy consumption and shorter lifespan compared to LEDs.
- Halogen Lights: Similar to fluorescent lights, being phased out in favor of LEDs.
Power Requirements
- 12V DC: The standard power source for most caravan interior lights, compatible with the caravan's battery system.
- 240V AC: Some lights may require 240V AC power when connected to an external power source (e.g., campground hookup).
Features
- Dimming: Allows users to adjust the brightness of the lights to suit their needs.
- On/Off Switches: Individual switches for each light or grouped controls for multiple lights.
- Motion Sensors: Automatically turn on lights when motion is detected.
- Remote Control: Allows users to control lights remotely.
- USB Charging Ports: Integrated USB ports for charging mobile devices.
- Water Resistance: Some models are designed to be water-resistant for use in bathrooms or other damp areas.
The declared goods are caravan interior (roof/ceiling) lighting, specifically identified as 261084/33712. These are lights designed for use within caravans, typically mounted on the roof or ceiling.
Based on the provided reference material, the following HS codes are relevant:
- 9405116010: This HS code covers luminaires and lighting fittings, including searchlights and spotlights and parts thereof, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated nameplates and the like, having a permanently fixed light source, and parts thereof not elsewhere specified or included. Specifically, it applies to chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, excluding those of a kind used for lighting public open spaces or thoroughfares, designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources, of base metal, and categorized as other household items. The total tax rate is 62.6% (base tariff 7.6%, additional tariff 25.0%, and an additional 30% tariff after April 2, 2025).
- 9405114010: This HS code also covers luminaires and lighting fittings as described above, but specifically for those of brass material. The total tax rate is 58.9% (base tariff 3.9%, additional tariff 25.0%, and an additional 30% tariff after April 2, 2025).
- 8512202040: This HS code covers electrical lighting or signaling equipment (excluding articles of heading 8539), windshield wipers, defrosters and demisters, of a kind used for cycles or motor vehicles; parts thereof. Specifically, it applies to other lighting or visual signaling equipment for vehicles of subheading 8701.21, 8701.22, 8701.23, 8701.24 or 8701.29 or heading 8702, 8703, 8704, 8705 or 8711. The total tax rate is 55.0% (additional tariff 25.0%, and an additional 30% tariff after April 2, 2025).
- 8512202080: This HS code covers electrical lighting or signaling equipment (excluding articles of heading 8539), windshield wipers, defrosters and demisters, of a kind used for cycles or motor vehicles; parts thereof. Specifically, it applies to other lighting or visual signaling equipment, not specified by vehicle subheading or heading. The total tax rate is 55.0% (additional tariff 25.0%, and an additional 30% tariff after April 2, 2025).
Please Note:
Regarding HS codes 9405116010 and 9405114010, the material composition of the lighting fixture (base metal vs. brass) will determine the correct HS code.
Regarding HS codes 8512202040 and 8512202080, the classification depends on the specific vehicle type the caravan is associated with (subheadings 8701.21-8701.29 or headings 8702-8711). If the caravan doesn't fall into these specific vehicle categories, HS code 8512202080 would be more appropriate.
