HS v2017 Code: 853932

About lamps; discharge, (excluding ultra-violet), mercury or sodium vapour lamps, metal halide lamps

hs code 853932 covers a range of discharge lamps, excluding ultraviolet lamps, that are widely used for commercial and industrial lighting applications. These lamps are known for their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and ability to produce bright, high-quality illumination. They play a crucial role in the lighting industry, contributing to the overall efficiency and sustainability of various sectors, from commercial buildings to industrial facilities.

Production process

The production of discharge lamps under hs code 853932 typically involves several key steps. First, the lamp components, such as the glass envelope, electrodes, and gas fill, are carefully assembled. The glass envelope is then sealed, and the lamp is filled with the appropriate gas mixture, which may include mercury, sodium, or metal halides. The electrodes are then connected, and the lamp is subjected to a process of electrical conditioning to ensure proper operation. Finally, the lamps undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures before being packaged and distributed.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of discharge lamps under hs code 853932 include high-quality glass for the lamp envelope, specialized metals for the electrodes, and various gases such as mercury, sodium, or metal halides. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing equipment, including glass-blowing machines, gas-filling systems, and electrical testing apparatuses. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 853932 is a range of discharge lamps, including mercury vapor lamps, sodium vapor lamps, and metal halide lamps. These lamps are widely used in commercial, industrial, and public lighting applications, such as 853931 Lamps; fluorescent, hot cathode, 853910 Lamps; sealed beam lamp units, and 853921 Lamps; tungsten halogen. The energy-efficient and long-lasting nature of these lamps makes them an essential component in the broader lighting industry.
