About lamps and light fittings; parts thereof, of glass

hs code 940591 covers a wide range of lighting products made primarily from glass. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader lighting and illumination sector, providing essential components and fixtures for both residential and commercial applications. Glass-based lighting solutions are valued for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and ability to diffuse light effectively, making them a popular choice across various industries and settings.

Production process

The production of glass lamps and light fittings typically involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, such as silica sand, limestone, and various metal oxides, are carefully measured and mixed to create the desired glass composition. The mixture is then melted in a high-temperature furnace, and the molten glass is either blown, pressed, or molded into the desired shape. After shaping, the glass components may undergo additional finishing processes, such as polishing, etching, or the application of coatings, to enhance their appearance and functionality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of glass lamps and light fittings include high-quality glass raw materials, specialized glass-working equipment (e.g., furnaces, molds, and blowing tools), and various hardware components (e.g., sockets, wiring, and mounting hardware). Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including glass artisans and technicians, to ensure the quality and precision of the final products.

Production outputs
