I don't know about the first, but at least by 1881. Here's a quote from an 1885 report: "not more than three years since the first application of incandescent electric lighting to the general illumination of steamships [1884], the advantages accruing therefrom have been so fully recognised [sic], that already more than one hundred and fifty ships have been fitted with it, and scarcely a man-of-war or a first-class passenger-steamer now leaves the builder's hands without having it on board" (Jamieson 1885:1).

The filament on normal light bulbs require a higher current of electricity to light up, and are more resistant to electricity as well. This causes it to use more electricity and generate more heat.
Garden bulbs do not have to terminals they have a shoot at one end and roots at the other. Light bulbs have two terminals because the filament needs to be part of a circuit so the electricity can flow. The terminals are where the electricity flows in and out.
Heat bulbs would be a more appropriate name because incandescent bulbs transform 90% of electricity received into heat and 10% into light. New Compact Fluorescent light bulbs use only 20% to 30% of the energy needed to power a standard bulb for the same wattage.
Fluoresent light bulbs are run using electricity.. phosphorescentlight are not,, they have particles inside that absorb from light sources of any kind and store it away to be used , that's why they are not glowing all the time.
LEDs are definitely better than the ordinary light bulbs because they're more energy efficient, and you'll be able to get a lot of savings since you don't need to change your bulbs every now and then.
None. Light bulbs use electricity, they do not create electricity.
The job of house electricity bulbs is to provide household lighting.

NO
No, they use more electricity.

Most people light their home using incandescent light bulbs. While these bulbs may seem less expensive, they can add quite a bit of money to your electricity bill. To lower your electricity bill, swap your incandescent bulbs for compact fluorescent lamps, or CPL's. CPL's are a type of bulb that uses 75% less electricity than incandescent light bulbs. Just by switching the type of light bulb you use, you can quickly lower your electricity bill. These bulbs also last much longer than regular bulbs. Most CPL's last around ten years, which means that you will enjoy a lower electricity bill, while never having to change a bulb.
Candles.
No, they need oil
