From Luma to Aura Light

In 1930 the very first incandescent lamp was manufactured at the Luma plant in Stockholm. It was a success and already during the first season the planned production of 8.000 lamps was doubled.

Prior to World War II, the export of Swedish incandescent lamps flourished and the Luma lamp appeared in many countries - among them Norway, England and Scotland.
In 1932 the Norwegian sales company was founded.
In 1943 mass-production of fluorescent lamps started, and in 1966 a new era began with the launch of the new products TV-sets and appliances.
In 1970 Luma left Stockholm and moved into new premises in Karlskrona. Our head office and production are still here today.
In 1980 we obtained a patent for a new cathode design. Ten years later we obtained another patent, this time for the protection layer between glass tube and phosphorous powder. These patents contribute to extending the life of the fluorescent lamp, and are today found in our Long Life Lights products.
