Humphrey Davy was born December 17th 1778 but he didn't invent the light bulb. He invented a lamp which helped miners work safely around flammable gasses.

He invented the light bulb so we can see in dark places, also the lamp because people can work on dark grassy fields. Humphrey Davy invented a miners lamp, that could detect explosive gasses in mines. Known as a 'Davy lamp'.
Thomas Edison made the first operating incandescent light bulb. But in 1800, Humphrey Davy invented the electric light. It didn't last long, and was not a bulb, though. Arc lights later became popular, but again, were not in a bulb.
No. Thomas Jefferson did not contribute to the development of the light bulb. The light bulb has a number of inventors producing specific technologies that ended up being part of the light bulb including Humphrey Davy and Thomas Edison, who perfected it, and many others.
The first person known to have created an incandescent light bulb was Sir Humphrey Davy, British chemist and inventor. However, Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison were the first to make light bulbs that were practical and economically viable.
He made it last longer because Humphrey Davy used something that melted. Something like that. Hope that helped a little, lol.
the light bulb
The first small electric light bulb was invented in 1860 by Joseph Swan.Prior to that Humphrey Davy had demonstrated a crude electric light, which is more of a precursor to the flourescent light strips we find in offices today, in 1809.William Reid Clanny developed a safety lamp for miners in 1813, which was inspiration for Davy's more well-known Davy Lamp.
