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 becameprominent in the production of paper-winding capacitors and EMC filters.

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