 WHO INVENTED OR DISCOVERED

THE LIGHT BULB?

The incandescent light bulb or lamp was the work of two

geniuses: the Englishman Joseph W.Swan (1828 – 1914) and

the American Thomas Alva Edison (1847 – 1931). The first

electric light bulb saw the light and was made on October 21,

1879, after many years of experiments and failures.

Many people believe that the inventor of the light bulb was

Thomas Edison, but what he really achieved was perfecting

Joseph Swan's invention and making it work more effectively

and for much longer. In addition, Edison also patented the

electric light bulb or incandescent light bulb on January 27,

1880, which Swan did not.

Evolution has allowed light bulbs to become less polluting. For

example, LEDs consume less energy, which reduces C02

emissions, and they do not contain tungsten or mercury, so

they do not pollute as much as their predecessors,and they

have a more practical and current model, in recent years the

light bulbs can be controlled with artificial intelligence such as

In conclusion, I believe that this invention was a great step for

humanity, totally revolutionizing our lifestyle. It also seems

important to me to recognize all the scientists who made this

great invention possible, which helps us every day and give

value to their efforts.
