In the past, homes were primarily lit using candles, oil lamps, and gas lights. Candles made from tallow or beeswax provided a simple and portable light source, while oil lamps used animal fats or vegetable oils for illumination. In the 19th century, gas lighting became popular in urban areas, utilizing gas derived from coal. Each of these methods had limitations in terms of brightness, safety, and convenience compared to modern electric lighting.
