Humphrey Davy invented the light bulb in 1809, but it was not practical.
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 December, 1879, almost 20 years later, the same year that Swan's bulbs were in domestic use in Britain.
Edison did not invent the first electric light bulb, but instead invented the first commercially practical incandescent light. He therefore just improved on other peoples work in 1879.
1879
Thomas Edison's greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't "invent" the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1879, using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, he was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light. So he said. Tesla worked for Thomas Alva Edison for 1 year At that time, the most important "inventor" in the world was named Thomas Alva Edison-the so-called wizard of Menlo Park.... Edison was credited with the invention of the DC dynamo and the electric light bulb . . . but the only thing he really invented was the ELECTRIC CHAIR!!
1879
Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb in the year 1879
Many other people had developed working light bulbs of various kinds before Edison.
A British inventor by the name of Joseph Swan received a patent for an identical bulb 1 year earlier than Edison.
Nikola Tesla actually had working light bulbs in his laboratory before Edison did, too. These bulbs were fluorescent, not incandescent. These are early versions of the compact fluorescent bulbs that we know today.

The incandescent electric light bulb was invented by Thomas A. Edison.
It took Thomas Edison 1 year to invent the light bulb. In that year, he experimented with over 1400 different fibers until he tried cotton fiber. This light bulb could last over 1500 hours, unlike the very first light bulbs that could only last 40 hours.1 yearThomas Edison failed over 1,000 times before he was successful in creating the light bulb. It took Edison three years to complete the light bulb for is successful full scale test in 1882.
Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb. The first successful test of his invention was in October of 1879, during which the light lasted for over 13 hours. He acquired the patent in 1880.
Thomas Edison is generally credited with inventing the light bulb in the United States. Some Canadian inventors may have produced a forerunner that was not a commercial success.
Thomas Edison Invent the light bulb in Florida
Thomas Jefferson did not invent the light bulb. The light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879 in New Jersey.
No Thomas Edison didn't invent the umbrella, but he did invent the phonograph and the light-bulb. :D
no.
Light bulb.
Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. Rephrase your statement
Thomas Edison invented the Incandescent electric light.
No. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
Thomas Edison's great brain invented the devise that we use today which is the light bulb.
Albert Einstein did not invent the light bulb(neither did Thomas Edison).
Benjamin Franklin did not invent the light bulb but instead Thomas Edison did
What do you mean like did he invent the light bulb because if you do mean that then yes he did invent the light bulb
