About lamps and light fittings; parts thereof, of glass

HS code 940591 covers a diverse range of glass-based lamps and lighting fittings, which play a crucial role in the global lighting industry. These products are essential for illuminating residential, commercial, and industrial spaces, contributing to the overall functionality and ambiance of a wide variety of settings. The glass-based lighting industry is a significant contributor to the broader economy, with its outputs being consumed by a range of downstream sectors, including construction, hospitality, and retail.

Production process

The production of glass-based lamps and light fittings typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as silica sand, soda ash, and limestone, are carefully measured and mixed to create the desired glass composition. The mixture is then heated to high temperatures, melted, and formed into the desired shape using techniques like blowing, pressing, or molding. The formed glass components may then undergo additional processing, such as cutting, polishing, or coating, to enhance their aesthetic appeal and functionality. Finally, the glass components are assembled with other necessary parts, such as sockets, wiring, and fixtures, to create the complete lamp or lighting fitting.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the production of glass-based lamps and light fittings include raw materials like silica sand, soda ash, and limestone, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the glass-making and assembly processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of other components, such as electrical sockets, wiring, and metal or plastic fittings, to create the final products. The availability and cost-effectiveness of these inputs can significantly impact the overall competitiveness of the industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the glass-based lamps and light fittings industry are the finished products, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream sectors. These include the 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. The glass-based lighting products are also used in the construction, hospitality, and retail industries, among others, to provide illumination and enhance the overall aesthetic of a space.
