Lewis Latimer invented it, and he wrote a book with Thomas Edison.
Latimer's invention of the carbon filament significantly improved Edison's light bulb by increasing its efficiency and lifespan. While Edison initially used a carbonized paper filament, Latimer's design allowed for a brighter light and reduced the bulb's tendency to burn out quickly. This innovation made electric lighting more practical and accessible, contributing to the widespread adoption of electric light.
Lewis Latimer was Edison's as well as Alexander Graham Bell's Assistant, having drawn up the plans for the telephone that Bell, an audiologist, invented. Latimer also came up with the substance used in the filament of Edison's successful version of the Incandescent Light Bulb and wrote the original manual for electrical distribution, but was barred, in the 1870's through the 1920's until admitted then to the EDISON PIONEERS...... Mr. Latimer was born September 4, 1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts and died on December 11, 1928 in New York City, New York.

One of his great accomplishments were inventing the carbon filament which helped the light bulb (during that time) last for hours instead of minutes.
Lewis Howard Latimer perfected it but Thomas Edison invented it
In the photo above, you see some of the Edison pioneers, who worked with the great inventor Thomas Edison. But only one of them was black-- Lewis Latimer. While he was a respected draftsman and an inventor who helped Edison improve the light bulb, there is no evidence Latimer ever got rich, however. On the other hand, as one of the few black inventors of his time, he most certainly seems to have enjoyed a middle-class life, and he had more status in society than many black men in segregated America did.
George Westinghouse improved on Thomas Edison's work by advocating for alternating current (AC) electrical systems, which allowed electricity to be transmitted over longer distances more efficiently than Edison's direct current (DC) system. Lewis Howard Latimer contributed by inventing a carbon filament for light bulbs, which enhanced their durability and efficiency, making electric lighting more practical and affordable. Together, their innovations helped to advance the electrical industry and made electricity more accessible to the public.
