SUBDIVISION CCeiling Fan Light Kits

Marginal note:Definitions

 The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.

ceiling fan light kit

ceiling fan light kit means equipment that is designed to provide light from a ceiling fan and that is

  • (a) integral to the fan before its retail sale; or

  • (b) attachable to the fan after its retail sale. (ensemble d’éclairage pour ventilateurs de plafond)

integrated solid-state lighting circuitry

integrated solid-state lighting circuitry[Repealed, SOR/2024-54, s. 1]

non-consumer-replaceable solid-state lighting

non-consumer-replaceable solid-state lighting means the lighting system in a ceiling fan light kit for which the solid-state lighting light source and all components necessary for the starting and stable operation of the light source – that is, the driver, heat sink, intermediate circuitry – cannot be replaced by the consumer without permanently altering the ceiling fan light kit. Furthermore, if the lighting system fails, the entire ceiling fan light kit must be replaced. (éclairage à semi-conducteurs non remplaçable par le consommateur)
