I am sorry to disillusion you but Thomas Edison DID NOT invent the light bulb. The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy.
The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light.
The first incandescent light bulb was constructed in 1840.Related Information:It consisted of a platinum coil contained in a glass vacuum tube, and was constructed by British scientist, Warren De la Rue. There were other experiments on incandescent light before and after, but this was the first incandescent light bulb, as the platinum filament was inclosed in a vacuum tube.Many people, like Joseph Swan, worked on incandescent lighting and to improve the bulb after Warren de la Rue, to make it last longer. Thomas Edison managed to make one, ca. Oct. 22, 1879. This improved bulb lasted 1200 hours and he received a patent for it. However, Thomas Edison, like Joseph Swan, made better light bulbs but did not invent them. There have been improvements since Edison's efforts as well.He invented it in 1879.The electric light bulb was made in 1879 by Humphry Davy.While many people think that Thomas Edison created the light bulb, it was invented in 1879 by Joseph Swan.Later, Edison took Joseph Swan's ideas and made them into a different idea to create the longer lasting light bulb.The first practical lightbulb was "invented" by Thomas Edison in 1879. That is probably the answer you want.In truth, the first (not practical) lightbulb was invented in 1809 by Humphry Davy, an English chemist.There were around 22 different inventors that created light bulbs between 1800 and 1910. However, historians conclude that Edison's outstripped them all.The first light bulb was invented in 1879 by Thomas Alva Edison. There were others trying to invent a light bulb at the time, but Edison was the first to succeed. Please see the related link below.Thomas Alva Edison
He invented the BATTERY in 1800 .
Thomas Edison made the first operating incandescent light bulb. But in 1800, Humphrey Davy invented the electric light. It didn't last long, and was not a bulb, though. Arc lights later became popular, but again, were not in a bulb.
Humphry Davy invented the lightbulb in the 1800's.
Joseph Swan is famous for the invention of the incandescent light bulb. For all we know, Humphry Davy invented the first electric light bulb in 1800. Thomas Alva Edison also invented the lelectric light bulb. It's true that Joseph Swan, a British inventor really invented the first light bulb. Related links: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison

It depends what you mean by "lightbulb"; Sir Humphrey Davy demonstrated the first electric filement light in 1802, the first practical lighting system - including the bulb, was developed by Edison around 1880, but many other people were demonstrating light bulbs around that time. Edison deserves the credit for creating an entire system for generating and distributing electricity - without that, the lightbulb would be pretty useless.
