Initially lighting began with fires built in or near dwelling and work areas, to allow for work and community interaction after nightfall and also to discourage predators. Torches of flaming twigs or other inflammable material quickly followed. Later, animal fat and later still, beeswax, was employed to make a more permanent source of light: candles. Much later, candles were put in sheltering lamps to keep them burning even in a wind. Oil lamps followed, working on similar principles as candle-lamps, and eventually the gaslight was invented. Humphry Davy invented the electric light in 1800. Many other inventors grasped the idea and were quick to improve upon the idea. By the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries the electric light bulb was growing rapidly in popular use and completely changed the way people treated the hours of darkness. ZxZAswqsQAW1QE
