Manufacture of electric lighting equipment

NACE v2.0 Code: C27.40

About manufacture of electric lighting equipment

NACE code 27.40 covers the manufacture of electric lighting equipment, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the broader economy. This industry is responsible for producing a wide range of lighting products, from basic household bulbs to sophisticated commercial and industrial lighting solutions. Its output is essential for illuminating homes, businesses, and public spaces, contributing to improved safety, productivity, and quality of life.

Production process

The manufacture of electric lighting equipment typically involves several key production steps. This includes the assembly of lighting fixtures, the production of lamp components (such as sockets, reflectors, and diffusers), and the integration of electrical and electronic components. Advanced techniques, such as automated assembly lines and precision engineering, are often employed to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.

Production inputs

The electric lighting equipment industry relies on a variety of inputs, including raw materials like glass, metal, and plastic, as well as electrical and electronic components. Specialized machinery, such as molding equipment, winding machines, and testing apparatus, is also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and assembly workers, to design, manufacture, and assemble the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the electric lighting equipment industry are a diverse range of lighting products, including incandescent, fluorescent, LED, and other types of lamps and fixtures. 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 essential for illuminating residential, commercial, and industrial spaces, contributing to the overall functionality and aesthetics of built environments.
