Aura supplies Long Life light sources that are guaranteed to last at least three times as long as the standard products on the market. As a result, the users can save both money and the environment, since only a third of all changes of light sources need to be made.

The foundations for Aura were already laid in 1930 under the name Lumalampan and Aura produced the first Long Life fluorescent lamp in 1980. The Head Office is located I Stockholm, whereas development, production and customer service can be found in Karlskrona. In addition, the Group has subsidiaries in Denmark, England, Finland, France, The Netherlands, Italy, Norway, Spain and Germany and sells light sources all over the world. Customers are primarily found in industry and the public sector.

Aura has approximately 200 employees and a turnover of approximately Euro 50 millions.

History – from Luma to Aura
In 1930 the very first incandescent lamp was manufactured at the Luma plant In Stockholm. It was a success and already during the first season the planned production of 8000 lamps was doubled. Prior to World War II, the export of Swedish incandescent lamps flourished and the Luma lamp appeared in many countries – among them Norway, England and Scotland. In 1943 mass-production on fluorescent lamps started.

In 1970 Luma left Stockholm and moved into brand new premises in Karlskrona. Luma obtained a patent for a new cathode design in 1980 and ten years later the company obtained another patent, this time for the protection layer between glass tube and phosphorous powder. These patents contribute to extending the life of the fluorescent lamp, and are today found in Aura’s Long Life products. In 1994 Lumalampan received a new name – Aura.
