Dentist Operatory Light

> A focusable LED examination light designed for dental operatories, featuring a shadowless beam and adjustable mounting. It is a standalone electric luminaire with a permanently fixed light source, not incorporating any dental appliances, and therefore falls under tariff item 9405.49.20 as a theatrical or motion picture spotlight, given its high-intensity, focused beam characteristics.
