Agapito Flores
Agapito Flores was born on September 28, 1897 and passed away in 1943, though his cause of death is not public information. He is sometimes wrongly credited with having invented the fluorescent bulb.
No, Agapito Flores did not invent the fluorescent lamp but it is true that there is a very popular myth in the Philippines that he did do so! Agapito Flores was not recognised by the mainstream scientific community.
There is no evidence to support this claim, the French physicist A. E. Becquerel and others has already invented the lamp
He was a Filipino electrician famous for not inventing the fluorescent light. There are various photographs of Agapito Flores on the internet but they may not be the same person.
Agapito Flores was born in Guiguinto, Bulacan, Philippines on September 28, 1897. He worked as an apprentice in a machine shop and later moved to Tondo, Manila where he trained at a vocational school to become an electrician. It has been reported that Agapito Flores received a French patent for a fluorescent bulb and that the General Electric Company bought Flores' patent rights and manufactured and sold his fluorescent bulb (making millions from it). However, all the inventors named above and more predate Agapito Flores' possible work on any fluorescent bulb. According to Dr. Benito Vergara of the Philippine Science Heritage Center, "As far as I could learn, a certain Flores presented the idea of fluorescent light to Manuel Quezon when he became president. At that time, General Electric Co. had already presented the fluorescent light to the public." So he is only famous for NOT inventing the fluorescent tube.
