Lamps; discharge, (excluding ultra-violet, excluding fluorescent, hot cathode)

HS v2017 Code: 853939

About lamps; discharge, (excluding ultra-violet, excluding fluorescent, hot cathode)

hs code 853939 covers a range of discharge lamps that are used for various lighting applications. These lamps are an important component in the broader lighting industry, which plays a crucial role in the infrastructure, commercial, and residential sectors of the economy. The demand for efficient and versatile lighting solutions continues to drive innovation and growth in this industry.

Production process

The production of discharge lamps described by hs code 853939 typically involves the use of specialized manufacturing processes. These lamps are created by enclosing a gas-filled tube or bulb with electrodes at each end. The gas is ionized by an electric current, which in turn generates the desired light output. Manufacturers may employ techniques such as glass blowing, metal fabrication, and precision assembly to ensure the lamps meet quality and performance standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of discharge lamps under hs code 853939 include glass or quartz tubing, electrodes (often made of metals such as tungsten or molybdenum), and the specific gases used to fill the lamps (e.g., mercury, xenon, or neon). Additionally, manufacturers may require specialized equipment such as vacuum chambers, sealing machines, and testing apparatus to ensure the lamps are produced to the required specifications. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the overall production process.

Production outputs

Discharge lamps covered by hs code 853939 are used in a variety of lighting applications, including industrial, commercial, and architectural settings. These lamps may be used in 853931 Lamps; fluorescent, hot cathode or 853910 Lamps; sealed beam fixtures, as well as in specialized lighting systems. The output of this industry is an important input for 940510 Chandeliers and other electric ceiling or wall lighting fittings, 940520 Lamps and lighting fittings; electric table, desk, bedside or floor-standing, and 940540 Lamps and lighting fittings; electric, n.e.c. in heading no. 9405.
