Our History

Inspired by the struggles of students using kerosene lamps, Spectra was established under the brand “Prashakthi” to bring safer, battery-powered lighting to homes across Sri Lanka.

The first product launched: an 8W and 6W fluorescent lamp, designed to run on a 12V battery—developed under license from the NERD Center. This marked the beginning of Spectra’s journey in energy innovation.

To power the Prashakthi lamp reliably, Spectra introduced a custom battery charger, ensuring consistent lighting for everyday use.

With rising demand in industrial sectors, Spectra launched its Arc Welding Transformer, laying the foundation for a strong industrial product line.

To meet growing demand and expand customer access, Spectra opened its first showroom in Kurunegala, strengthening its retail presence in Sri Lanka.

Spectra introduced the “Lanka Shakthi Dara Wayu Lipa,” a high-efficiency firewood stove designed as a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional cooking methods.

To help households reduce electricity usage, Spectra launched the Bio Mass Rice Cooker, engineered to operate using coconut shells—an affordable, sustainable energy source for domestic cooking.

Spectra introduced an innovative cover unit attachment for brush cutters, improving the safety and efficiency of paddy harvesting in Sri Lanka’s agricultural sector. This invention is protected under a registered patent, ensuring its unique design and functionality remain exclusively owned and recognized.

Launched in collaboration with the Institute of Fundamental Studies, this project aimed to remove fluoride and hardness from drinking water in dry zones, helping reduce kidney and fluorosis-related diseases in affected rural communities.

Designed for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, this heater delivers continuous hot water using biomass fuels such as coconut shells and firewood, reducing heating costs and carbon emissions. This technology is also protected under a registered patent, ensuring its innovative design and functionality are exclusively recognized.
