 The History of Fluorescent Lamp
The history of the development of
such lamps says that there are other
inventors who were far ahead of the
Filipino electrician.
French physicist Alexandre E. Becquerel was the first
to theorize about the building of fluorescent tubes in
1857. He investigated the phenomena of fluorescence
and phosphorescence and experimented with coating
electric discharge tubes with luminescent materials, a
process that was further developed in later fluorescent
lamps.
American inventor Thomas Edison, who made the first electric
light bulb, was considered one of the first inventors to apply for a
patent (U.S. Patent 865,367) of the earliest version of the
fluorescent lamp on May 19, 1896, later published in September
10, 1907. He used x-rays to excite the phosphor; but unfortunately,
his model was never sold. It was American Peter Cooper Hewitt
(1861-1921) who filed the successful patent (U.S. patent 682,692) 
in September 17, 1901 for the first mercury vapor lamp, the
descendant of the modern fluorescent lights.
According to the Smithsonian Institute, Hewitt’s fluorescent lamp was built on the work
of German physicist Julius Plucker and glassblower Heinrich Geissler, who were able to
pass an electric current through a glass tube containing tiny amounts of gas and made
light. Hewitt started working on that principle with mercury-filled tubes in the late 1890s.
He was able to produce a bluish-green light, which he thought wouldn’t be an ideal color
wanted by the people. So he collaborated with George Westinghouse, under the Cooper
Hewitt Electric Company, to produce the first commercial mercury lamps with a different
color.

Hewitt was later credited as the inventor of the first enclosed arc-
type lamp using metal vapor.
