The catalytic lamp was first developed in the 19th century by 2 French chemists, who created a precious metal catalytic device. After this time the lamp was introduced to hospitals where it was used to great effect to remove infectious agents from the air and undoubtedly saved many lives at the time. The effectiveness of the product led to it being produced by a number of manufacturing companies. However it is thought that most were put out of business during World War II, meaning that although the catalytic technology remained valid, it was largely overlooked for many years, only coming to the fore again in relatively recent times.
Today, Ashleigh & Burwood make use of this early air purifying technology and marry it with their 15 years experience in home fragrancing to present a refined & effective product – The Ashleigh & Burwood Fragrance Lamp.
