Best Answer

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.
