The first "lamp" was probably invented thousands of years ago by the early humans who first discovered how to make fire!
But if you are really asking how the first electric lamp was invented...
The 1st light bulb was built by Humphry Davy (an Englishman) in 1809.
Thomas Alva Edison (an American) improved that invention and based his improvements on a patent he purchased from inventors Henry Woodward & Matthew Evans who patented their bulb in 1875.
Sir Joseph Wilson Swan produced an early electric lightbulb (1860), and in 1880, independently of Thomas Alva Edison, he produced a carbon-filament incandescent electric lamp.
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 - October 18, 1931) was an American inventor, scientist and businessman who developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb.
