Smart lighting is one of the highest-volume connected product categories exported from China to the EU. WiFi bulbs, Zigbee LED strips, Bluetooth dimmers — each one is a product with digital elements under the CRA. Smart lighting without security functionality is not in Annex III — it is a Default product eligible for Module A self-assessment. The documentation obligation is straightforward: Article 31 + Annex VII. The challenge is volume: if you sell 15 different smart lighting models in the EU, you need 15 dossiers. CRACheck generates each one in 15-25 minutes. €149 per model. Volume pricing available: €99/model for 10-pack, €79/model for 30-pack. Browser-side.

A smart bulb connects to WiFi, communicates with an app, receives firmware updates. It is a product with digital elements under Art. 2.1. Simplicity of function does not exempt it from the Regulation. The documentation requirement is proportional — a Default product with Module A is the lightest compliance path.
Art. 13.5 requires due diligence on third-party components. Tuya provides the IoT platform. You integrate it into your LED strip. If the Tuya chip has a default configuration that is not secure by default, your product is non-compliant under Annex I Part I point 1(d). Document how you configure the Tuya component to meet CRA requirements.
CRACheck costs €149 per product model — not per unit sold. If your €10 bulb sells 100,000 units, the CRA documentation cost is €149 ÷ 100,000 = €0.0015 per unit. With volume pricing (€79/model for 30-pack), it is even lower. The cost is per model, not per unit.
