This is almost unanswerable, because the early attempts were so bad that they should really have been called dim bulbs. The real problem was to produce a bulb which gave good light, had a reasonable life, and was affordable. The race to achieve all of these was almost a dead heat. Thomas Alva Edison had been working on it for a while, and finally got a working version. He applied for a patent, only to discover that the Scotsman Joseph Swan had also been working on the problem. Swan applied for his patent in the UK 6 days before Edison in the USA. A lawsuit resulted, and Swan was favourite to win because he clearly had priority; however the lawsuit got so expensive that Edison and Swan negotiated a deal. Have you ever noticed that many bulbs are made by a company called Ediswan ?
