## Common ground
All are LED floodlights used for illumination, differing primarily in power source and portability.
## Options at a glance
**8513.10 – Portable (self-powered)**
- **Defining trait:** Operates using built-in batteries or other internal energy sources, not connected to external power.
- **Typical examples:** Battery-powered floodlights for camping, emergency use, or mobile work sites.
- **Best fit when:** Requires mobility and independence from fixed power supply.
**9405.41 – Photovoltaic (solar-powered)**
- **Defining trait:** Powered primarily by solar energy via integrated photovoltaic panels.
- **Typical examples:** Solar garden lights, off-grid security floodlights with built-in solar panels.
- **Best fit when:** Installed in sunny outdoor areas where grid power is unavailable and sunlight is consistent.
**9405.42 – Non-portable, non-solar LED floodlight**
- **Defining trait:** Requires connection to a fixed electrical supply; not battery-powered or solar-driven.
- **Typical examples:** Streetlights, warehouse ceiling lights, building facade illuminators.
- **Best fit when:** Installed permanently in a fixed location with access to mains power.
## Key differences
| Feature | 8513.10 (Portable) | 9405.41 (Photovoltaic) | 9405.42 (Fixed, non-solar) |
|---------------------|--------------------|------------------------|----------------------------|
| Power source | Internal battery | Solar panel | Mains electricity |
| Mobility | High | Low (fixed installation)| None |
| External wiring | Not required | Optional (for storage) | Required |
## How to choose
- Is it powered by a battery or internal energy source? → 8513.10
- Does it have a solar panel and no plug-in cable? → 9405.41
- Is it permanently wired to wall power, not portable, and not solar? → 9405.42
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A floodlight may be both portable *and* solar-powered (e.g., a battery-backed solar light), which could fit both 8513.10 and 9405.41. In such cases, prioritize the **primary power source**: if it relies on solar charging, use 9405.41; if it runs on batteries regardless of solar input, use 8513.10. If no context is given, do not assume priority—choose based on the product’s main function or design intent
