[edited after some idiot wrote the wrong answer]The Greeks and Romans first used lanterns in the street, which burnt oil.However, the first electric street lamps were invented by the Russian, Pavel Yablochkov in 1875. It was powered by an alternating current source, just the same as today's high pressure sodium bulbs use.The peak of technology today uses LEDs which give off a white light, rather than the orange glow of the Sodium lamps. These LED lamps run on DC power.
Franz von Drais, a German inventor, is credited with being the first to introduce street lights in 1817. However, the modern electric street light was invented by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century.

Charles Bush did not invent street lights. In fact, the first electric street lights were invented by Sir Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison in the late 19th century. Street lights were developed to improve visibility and safety on roads and streets during the night.
On 9 December 1868,[8] the first, non-electric, gas-lit traffic lights were installed outside the Houses of Parliament in London to control the traffic in Bridge Street, Great George Street and Parliament Street. They were proposed by the railway engineer J. P. Knight of Nottingham, who had adapted this idea from his design of railway signalling systems
Greek and Roman civilisations had oil-powered street lights as long ago as 800BC. Candles were first used for street lighting by modern civilisations in 1000AD. Pavel Yablochkov invented the electric street light in 1875.
Street lights date back thousands of years. As early as the 4th century Antioch had street lights. Street lights were also used in the 9-10 centuries by the Arab Empire. In 1417 in London Henry Bastien ordered lanterns to be hung on winter nights and by 1792 William Murdoch had installed gas lights in London. In the United States Ben Franklin helped with street lights and by 1816 Baltimore was the first city to have street lights.
