Discharge lamps or tubes; ballasts therefor

HS v2017 Code: 850410

About discharge lamps or tubes; ballasts therefor

hs code 850410 covers the import and export of discharge lamps or tubes, as well as the ballasts used to power them. These lighting products are essential components in a wide range of applications, from commercial and industrial settings to residential spaces. The global market for discharge lamps and related products is substantial, driven by the need for energy-efficient and long-lasting lighting solutions across various industries and sectors.

Production process

The production of discharge lamps and tubes typically involves the use of specialized manufacturing processes. This may include the fabrication of the lamp or tube structure, the filling of the lamp with the appropriate gases, and the integration of the necessary electrical components, such as the ballast. Automated assembly lines and precision engineering techniques are often employed to ensure consistent quality and performance of the final products.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the 850410 industry include raw materials such as glass, metals, and rare earth elements used in the construction of the lamps and tubes. Additionally, specialized electrical components, such as electrodes, starters, and ballasts, are essential inputs for the production of these lighting products. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment and technologies to ensure efficient and high-quality production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 850410 industry are the discharge lamps and tubes themselves, which are then consumed by a variety of other industries and sectors. These lighting products may be used in 853931 lighting fixtures, 940520 lamps and lighting fittings, and 940510 chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, among other applications. The ballasts produced under this code are also essential components for the proper functioning of these discharge lamps and tubes.
