The invention called a light bulb is a round item that gives out light when it is supplied with the right kind of electricity. It was first invented and patented by Thomas Edison and is used world wide.
A light bulb lights a room by just a single switch! Electrical current flows through a filament which resists the flow of electricity. This causes the filament to get hot and glow. The filament doesn't burn up because it is in a vacuum inside the glass bulb OR in an inert gas. This allows it to glow brightly for a sustained period, making it useful as a source of light.

The incandescent light bulb, incandescent lamp or incandescent light globe is a source of electric light that works by incandescence, (a general term for heat-driven light emissions which includes the simple case of black body radiation). An electric current passes through a thin filament, heating it until it produces light. The enclosing glass bulb prevents the oxygen in air from reaching the hot filament, which otherwise would be destroyed rapidly by oxidation. Incandescent bulbs are also sometimes called electric lamps, a term also applied to the original arc lamps.
Incandescent bulbs are made in a wide range of sizes and voltages, from 1.5 volts to about 300 volts. They require no external regulating equipment and have a low manufacturing cost, and work well on either alternating current or direct current. As a result the incandescent lamp is widely used in household and commercial lighting, for portable lighting, such as table lamps, some car headlamps and electric flashlights, and for decorative and advertising lighting.
Some applications of the incandescent bulb make use of the heat generated, such as incubators, brooding boxes for poultry, heat lights for reptile tanks, infrared heating for industrial heating and drying processes, and the Easy-Bake Oven toy. In cold weather the heat shed by incandescent lamps contributes to building heating, but in hot climates lamp losses increase the energy used by air conditioning systems.
Incandescent light bulbs are gradually being replaced in many applications by (compact) fluorescent lamps, high-intensity discharge lamps, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and other devices, which give more visible light for the same amount of electrical energy input. Some jurisdictions, such as the European Union are in the process of banning the use of incandescent light bulbs in favor of more energy-efficient lighting.

The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
a normal incandescent 60 watt light bulb uses 60 watts of electricity to produce 20 watts worth of light, and 40 watts worth of heat. It is more of a heat bulb than a light bulb. it is great if you can capitalise on the free heat, but if it is not cold in your house, turn it off. is there a better bulb? no. why are they ideal? cheap (as low as 10 cents for the el cheapos), never change shape/design/size/compatability, make pleasant light I could go on for an hour, but the best bulb is the cheapest.
the longest lasting light bulb is at mc donalds jaksonville
Thomas Edison is best-known for the light bulb.

No. The light bulb is two words, not a combination of light and bulb.
A bulb does not light up if there is no voltage available across the bulb, or if the bulb is burned out.

The electric light bulb came first but was patented later that the telephone was.
A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
No. Laser light is coherent. Light bulb light is not.
I think that the orange and nails light up the light bulb because the acid energy goes through the nails and into the wires connected to the light bulb and powers the light bulb
