In 1931 Otto Müller developed his series of Sistrah lights, while working at the Technical Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe. The name Sistrah derives from the German phrase, "Sie strahlt hell" - Wich can be translated as "She shines brightly". The designs were intended to produce a non-glaring light.
