Elwis, Elwis Royal or Elwis Lighting is a Danish technology company, founded in 1938 by Mogens Wilsbech, which designs and manufactures inspection lighting, handlamps, flashlights and gaskets.[1] It sells products in over 30 countries worldwide. Elwis’ founder, Mogens Wilsbech famously created the first functional fluorescent handlamp, in a workshop near his house in 1953.[2]

History

In 1938, Wilsbech founded the company and in the early 1950s, he discovered a number of problems with the conventional incandescent worklights available. This developed his idea to encase a fluorescent bulb in a resilient, clear, butyrate tube. This was marketed as a "Light in a tube" originally with a 21-inch fluorescent bulb encased.[2]

Elwis continues to manufacture fluorescent handlamps in Denmark, which have been a workshop essential for service departments, gasoline service stations and repair garages.[3] The company now has two main divisions; Elwis Lighting manufactures a range of advanced Surface Mounted Diode (SMD) and Chip On Board (COB) Light-emitting diode (LED) worklamps, trouble lights and high specification torches for mechanics. Elwis Royal manufactures a range of gaskets to fit a wide variety of automotive vehicles.[4]
