The light bulb was invented by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879.
Thomas Eddison invented the light bulb Benjamin Franklin invented the lightning rod though
Joseph Swan invented the first electric vacuum light bulb with a carbon fibre filament. About a year later, Thomas Eddison invented a similar bulb. Swan had already got a patent for the bulb though, and sued Eddison for the patent rights.After that, the pair worked together and merged companies. Swan later improved the filament used in the bulbs, though Eddison continued to use an inferior filament for a while. Eddison's company was eventually to become the USA's General Electric.The first electric light bulb however, as unpractical as it was, was invented by Humphry Davy in 1809.
Lol you cant invent the light bulb .It was already invented . Did you know that Thomas eddison did not invent the first eletirc light bulb but the first incandesent light bulb . It took him alought of research and work to invent ithe light bulb though .
thomas Edison didn't exactly "improve" the light bulb; he created a new type called an electric light bulb... ok so maybe he did improve it...
Edison didn't invent the light bulb he bought the patent and then work on filaments and encased it in a vacum in glass. Here is a decent history of the light bulb: http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bllight2.htm
