The first person who invented light bulbs was Sir Joseph Swan. He was a British chemist and physicist. His house was the world's first place to be illuminated with light bulbs.
Successful electric light bulbs were invented almost simultaneously by Alfred Swan in Britain, and Thomas Elva Edison in USA. Thus in UK they were marketed as Ediswan products. [After the lawyers had benefited from protracted battles.]
The first practical use of electricity was for lighting. Incandescent light bulbs were invented in the late 19th century and quickly became a popular way to illuminate homes and streets.
