Maybe it is a German lamp, but unfortunately no information can be found about the company. Several E Lite companies exists, all in the lighting business, but not one from Germany. Probably the company no longer exist.

In Spain this lamp was sold by Fase under the brand name StilFase.

BJB

The switch was made by BJB, another German company. BJB was founded in 1867 and started their business with petroleum lighting. The company still exists. Today they produce LED lamps, terminal blocks and connectors, lamp holders for conventional lighting and switches. They are active in the whole world. BJB GmbH & Co. KG is located on Werler Strasse 1, 59755, Arnsberg, Germany.

The BJB company confirmed that the switch is produced by them since the 1970s, but they did not made table lamps at that time. The switches were all integrated in luminaires by lamp manufacturers.
