Eichhoff Werke

Eichhoff Werke was founded by Eugen Eichhoff in 1919. In 1931 the company started as a specialist in electrical components and systems. In the following years, Eichhoff Werke became prominent in the production of paper-winding capacitors and EMC filters.

Eichhoff Werke produced lighting for a short period somewhere in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This spotlight is one of those examples. Most of the lamps Eichhoff Werke produced during that time were telescopic table/desk/bedside lamps. The company still exists.

VLM Components

Often sold as a lamp from the 1970’s, but the switch used on this lamp is made in the 1980’s. All the electric parts were made by VLM Components in the 1980’s. The company was founded in 1945 in Buccinasco, a small village near Milan, Italy. The company became famous for the switches they produce since 1968, designed by Achille Castiglioni.
VLM is part of the Relco Group, founded in 1967. Today they are the owners of the brands RelcoLeuciRelco LightingVLM and Segno.
