The light bulb was created in 1882 by Thomas Edison.
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
1879 and was created by Thomas Edison. There was an idea of a light bulb for 50 years.
Thomas Edison did not invent the lightbulb. The lightbulb was first created by a Belgian man named Jobard in 1835 and Frederick de Moleyns obtained the first patent for such a bulb in 1841. Thomas Edison invented an improved version of the bulb in 1879.
The flourescent light bulb was invented in 1827.
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.
Swan invented the light bulb in 1878. Edison spent a year trying to improve it and filed a patent in the US a year later. The two men never met but decided to settle out of court and formed the Ediswan company
Thomas Edison invented the first light bulb that was available for commercial use in 1879. The light bulb was first used in Menlo Park.
