The first electric light was made by Humphry Davy in 1800. But it was not practical.

A practical light bulb was developed by Thomas Edison in 1879. The light bulb revolutionized the world by making it possible to carry on near normal behavior at night. Prior to the light bulb people had only the dim light of candles and flame lamps.
