Lamps; filament, (excluding ultra-violet or infra-red), tungsten halogen

HS v2017 Code: 853921

About lamps; filament, (excluding ultra-violet or infra-red), tungsten halogen

hs code 853921 covers the import and export of filament lamps, excluding ultraviolet or infrared lamps, that use tungsten halogen technology. These lamps are widely used in a variety of applications, from residential lighting to commercial and industrial settings. They are known for their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and ability to produce bright, high-quality illumination. The global market for tungsten halogen lamps is substantial, with significant trade flows as countries seek to meet domestic demand and leverage export opportunities.

Production process

The production of tungsten halogen lamps involves several key steps. First, the tungsten filament is precisely engineered and coiled to the desired specifications. This filament is then sealed within a glass or quartz envelope, which is filled with a halogen gas mixture. The halogen gas interacts with the tungsten filament, allowing it to burn brighter and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Finally, the lamp is fitted with a base, such as a screw or bayonet fitting, to facilitate installation in various lighting fixtures.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of tungsten halogen lamps include high-purity tungsten wire, specialized glass or quartz envelopes, and the halogen gas mixture. Additionally, manufacturers rely on precision machinery and equipment to ensure consistent quality and performance. The production process also requires skilled labor to assemble the lamps and perform quality control checks.

Production outputs

Tungsten halogen lamps produced under hs code 853921 are primarily used in residential, commercial, and industrial lighting applications. They are often found in table lamps, floor lamps, track lighting, and recessed fixtures. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other industries, such as 940510 Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, 940520 Electric table, desk, bedside or floor-standing lamps, and 940540 Other electric lamps and lighting fittings, as these industries incorporate tungsten halogen lamps into their final products.
