No person invented electricity.
The first practical incandescent light bulb. Edison and his team of researchers in Edison's laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J., tested more than 3,000 designs for bulbs between 1878 and 1880. In November 1879, Edison filed a patent for an electric lamp with a carbon filament.
I'm sorry to say that he didn't In 1878 Joseph Wilson Swan, an English physicist and Chemist received a patent for his invention and his house was the first in the world to be lit by electric light. See Swan's Wikipedia entry Thomas Edison,upon seeing the British patent,or open letter, made copies and publicised his work. Swan was keen to make money from his invention and decided set up a joint venture which became the 'Ediswan' company in 1883. I am sure the name Swan would not have figured in the name unless Edison was forced to retract his claim of prior invention. Edison did produce an efficient steam driven DC dynamo known as' Long Waisted Annies' to drive his lamps and famously lit the road out side his workshop. This the likely source of your error.
Cygnus, the Swan constellation, can most be seen in the summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Cygnus is the Swan as regards the constellations. Cygnus is the latin for swan. It may also be called the Northern Cross (an analog to the Southern Cross), but this is less common. Wikipedia has more information as well as some additional links. Need a link to that article? You got it.
Sir Joseph Wilson Swan is credited with inventing the first practical incandescent light bulb. His was the first house to be lit using such a light bulb.
Joseph Wilson swan created the light bulb in 1822
Joseph Swan is not credited with inventing the first practical light bulb. That honor goes to Thomas Edison. The light bulb was invented to light the night.

Joseph Swan invented the carbon filament because to see light back in the days. Which turned out to be a light bulb.
he invented the light bulb
Joseph Wilson Swan was a British physicist and chemist who is best known for his invention of the incandescent light bulb. He worked independently of Thomas Edison in developing the first practical electric light bulb, receiving a British patent in 1878. Swan's advancements in lighting technology were crucial in the widespread adoption of electric lighting.
Sir Joseph Swan's lightbulb lasts for about 13 hours
Joseph Swan is famous for the invention of the incandescent light bulb. For all we know, Humphry Davy invented the first electric light bulb in 1800. Thomas Alva Edison also invented the lelectric light bulb. It's true that Joseph Swan, a British inventor really invented the first light bulb. Related links: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison
