The story behind the electric Advent candle

Did you know that the electric Advent candle was invented in Sweden? Oscar Andersson worked for the company ‘Philips’ in Gothenburg, where he gained access to the electric Christmas tree lights that were going to be discarded.

In 1934, he made the first electric candlestick which he gifted to his parents. There were many people who became curious about what shone in their windows, and since then, the electric window candle lights have become an integral part of the Christmas decorations in Sweden.

It would still be many years before Oscar Andersson would be recognised as the inventor of the electric advent window lights and it was not until 1995 that he received a diploma from the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, where one of his Christmas electric candle lights is on display.
