Smart LED bulbs with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, or Z-Wave radio modules (Philips Hue, LIFX, TP-Link Kasa) are classified under 8539.50. The wireless communication module does not shift the classification to 8517 (communication equipment) — illumination is the essential function. E27, E14, GU10, and B22 base types are classified identically. Tunable white and colour-changing smart bulbs are 8539.50. EU requirements: RoHS 2011/65/EU restricts hazardous substances; ErP Regulation (EU) 2019/2020 ecodesign requirements apply; energy labelling under Regulation (EU) 2021/341 is mandatory (A to G scale). Section 301 tariffs do not apply to 8539.50 LED lamps imported from China. CE marking, FCC Part 15 (US), and UKCA marking are required for market access.
