Even though it is said that the light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison, scientists and inventors were already researching the use of electrical light in the early 19th century. Although the first patents for light bulbs were awarded in 1841 already, Edison permitted their practical use and mass production in 1880.
We at EGLO have found a place in the history of light that has enabled us to grow continually for about 50 years.
