The Filipino electrician Agapito Flores is credited with inventing the fluorescent lamp independently of researchers in Europe and North America.
Flores is noteworthy because his work was done in relative isolation rather than in collaboration with other researchers. However does not have primacy, as his work was publicized after that of physicist Arthur Compton who is usually cited as the first person to develop a commercially-viable fluorescent lamp.
The situation is similar to that of the controversy surrounding the invention of the incandescent lamp about a half-century earlier. Thomas Edison in the US and Joseph Swan in England both developed the incandescent bulb almost simultaneously but Edison gets the credit because he demonstrated his work first.
