The incandescent light bulb,Another Answer:Actually Edison did NOT invent the Incandescent Light Bulb, he bought the original Patent, and then LATER improved the Filament, so that it become a longer lasting, more reliable product.
the light bulb by Thomas Edison
October 22, 1879. However, Edison did not invent the light bulb, it is a matter of documented record that Swan obtained a UK patent covering a partial vacuum, carbon filament incandescent lamp in 1860. Thomas Alva Edison patented his invention in 1879, almost 20 years later, the same year that Swan's bulbs were in domestic use in England.
Edison did not invent the first electric light bulb, but instead invented the first commercially practical incandescent light.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes he was afraid of the dark but Edison did not actually invent the light bulb... it was designed somewhere in the UK by Nicola Tesla. Edison refined his design to create 'the modern light bulb' ... :)!

Thomas Edison's light bulb was invented in 1879.Answer:Contrary to popular belief Edison did not invent the lightbulb. Several patents were issued for incandescent bulbs before Edison. The tie to Edison comes through Canadians Henry Woodward and a colleague Mathew Evans who patented their lightbulb in 1874. They were unsuccessful in their attempts to commercialize their invention. They sold their patent (U.S. Patent 0,181,613) to Thomas Edison in 1879.
