Electric filament or discharge lamps; arc lamps

cpc code 46510 covers the production of electric filament or discharge lamps, as well as arc lamps. These lighting products are essential components in a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial lighting to industrial and automotive uses. The industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing the necessary illumination solutions that enable various sectors to function effectively.

The production of electric filament or discharge lamps and arc lamps typically involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by sourcing the necessary raw materials, such as glass, metal, and various gases. These components are then carefully assembled, with the filament or electrodes being inserted into the glass bulb or enclosure. The lamps are then subjected to rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure they meet safety and performance standards before being packaged and distributed.

The main inputs required for the production of electric filament or discharge lamps and arc lamps include glass, metals (such as tungsten or molybdenum), and various gases (such as argon or krypton). Additionally, manufacturers rely on specialized machinery and equipment, such as vacuum pumps, sealing machines, and testing apparatus, to ensure the consistent and efficient production of these lighting products.
