Manufacture of lighting equipment

NACE v2.1 Code: C27.40

About manufacture of lighting equipment

NACE code 27.40 covers the manufacture of lighting equipment, an essential industry that plays a vital role in the broader economy. Lighting products are fundamental to both residential and commercial settings, enabling illumination and enhancing the functionality and ambiance of various spaces. This industry's output is widely consumed across numerous sectors, making it a crucial component of the overall supply chain.

Production process

The manufacture of lighting equipment typically involves a multi-step process. This includes the fabrication of lighting fixtures, the assembly of components such as sockets, reflectors, and diffusers, as well as the integration of light sources, such as incandescent, fluorescent, or LED bulbs. Advanced techniques like metal stamping, injection molding, and automated assembly lines are commonly employed to ensure efficient and high-quality production.

Production inputs

The lighting equipment industry relies on a variety of raw materials and resources. Key inputs include metals (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper), glass, plastics, and electronic components like ballasts, transformers, and control systems. Specialized machinery and tools used in the manufacturing process, as well as energy sources for powering the production facilities, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the lighting equipment industry are a diverse range of lighting products, including indoor and outdoor fixtures, lamps, and lighting accessories. These outputs are consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, such as 43.21 Electrical installation, 47.59 Retail sale of furniture, lighting equipment and other household articles in specialised stores, and 81.10 Combined facilities support activities, among others. The industry's products are crucial for providing illumination and enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of various built environments.
