Ernő Winter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hungarian Ernő Winter (1897-1971) [1] was an engineer who developed tungsten lamps. [2] Working at Tungsram, Ernő Winter, along with others, co-developed tungsten technology for the production of more reliable and longer-lasting coiled-filament lamps.[2]

In 1923 at Tungsram Ltd., a research laboratory was established for improving light sources, mainly electric bulbs.[1] The head of that laboratory was Ignácz Pfeiffer (1867-1941), whose research staff included Ernő Winter, along with Tivadar Millner (1899-1988), Zoltan Bay (1900-1992), Imre Bródy (1891-1944), György Szigeti (1905-1978), and many others.[1]
