Saf-T-Lite by General Manufacturing Inc.

Established in 1962, General Mfg. Inc. was the first company to offer portable fluorescent lighting to the automotive aftermarket. At the time, the company operated out of a small shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The light design of a cool operating fluorescent lamp and all electrical components inside the light fixture protected by a hard outer tube and soft end caps necessitated a brand name that indicated the newfound safety. The Saf-T-Lite® brand name quickly became recognized for its leadership in safety and durability. General Manufacturing is also the STUBBY® brand of hand-held and mounted work lights and industrial power reels.
