Lamp Factories

Despite the fact that it is invariably the individual lamp factories and their staff that have been responsible for the creation of new lamp types on which the fortunes of their owners rely, these magnificent enterprises typically remain in the shadow of their operating companies and it is often difficult to track down information concerning their existence and the contributions they have made to the lighting world. This section aims to rectify that shortcoming, by collating information available in the public domain and presenting a fitting tribute to the histories of these industrial sites.

Individual production locations are listed in the table below, arranged first of all by the modern company which ultimately took over that factory's business, then by the name of the original founding company, and finally the country and place in which it is located. Click on the location name to open the link to that factory. Only those sites highlighted in green are presently available online. In case of special requests for factories not yet documented or to contribute further details, please contact the author via the link at the top of this page.
