While Thomas Edison is often credited with inventing the practical and commercially viable incandescent light bulb, there were other inventors working on similar technologies around the same time. One notable figure is Sir Humphry Davy, a British scientist who experimented with electric arcs and developed the carbon arc lamp in the early 19th century. This was an early form of electric lighting, but it was not as practical or efficient as Edison's incandescent light bulb. Another important figure in the development of electric lighting was Sir Hiram Maxim, an American-born inventor who became a British citizen. He invented the Maxim lamp, which used a different approach by using a mantle of carbonized cellulose as the filament. However, this design also faced limitations compared to Edison's incandescent lamp. It's important to note that Edison's innovation wasn't just in creating the concept of electric light but in developing a practical, long-lasting, and commercially viable incandescent light bulb. His work led to the widespread adoption of electric lighting in homes and businesses. While there were others working on similar ideas, Edison's contributions were particularly significant in the history of electric lighting.
it was thomas Edison who invented the electrical vote recorder but I don't know what it is
Though people claim Edison invented the light bulb, it was previously discovered by many inventors which includes Nikola Tesla. But Edison found a way where everyone could use it and hence Edison has been credited for the invention of the light bulb.
The first person to look into electricity in some detail was William Gilbert, an English physician, and he gave it the term 'electricus' (which became 'electric' and 'electricity' over time). Bear in mind that he DISCOVERED electricity, no Invented. It was not created by man, as it already existed before we did.
(This is what my teacher said, I wrote this down in my notes) The answer is, Step-up transformers are used to increase the voltage of an electric current before it is sent out over transmission lines from the electric company. Step-down transformers are used to reduce the voltage of current from high-voltage transmission lines before it enters homes and businesses. Some devices, such as televisions, contain step-up transformers that increase the voltage once again.
In May 1896, Edison patented a fluorescent lamp that used X-rays.
Lamps in some form have been used since prehistoric times. Thomas Edison is credited with creating the electric light bulb in a usable design.

An E26 bulb socket is also referred to as an Edison medium screw in base lamp holder. These are the everyday size lamp bases that are used in North American homes. The bases larger that this are called mogul base and one smaller that the E26 is candelabra.
Sir Humphrey Davey invented the first carbon electric lamp in 1801. But Thomas Edison was granted a patent to the lamps most commonly used to today (Incandescent Lamps) in 1879. But others argue Joseph Swann created the same thing around the same time but didn't get a patent for it.
The 1st electric lamp was built by Humphry Davy (an Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison improved the invention and based his improvements on a patent he purchased from inventors Henry Woodward & Matthew Evans who patented their electric lamp bulb in 1875.Sir Joseph Wilson Swan produced an early electric lamp (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 lamp.
The incandescent lamps are very frequently used in all the buildings !
A tubelight is a type of electric lamp consisting of a long glass tube filled with neon or argon gas that produces light when an electric current passes through it. It is commonly used for indoor lighting in homes, offices, and other buildings.
Sodium-vapour lamp, electric discharge lamp using ionized sodium,
They were actually invented before Edison invented the incandescent light bulb by Nikola Tesla. Edison did not care for them because they worked only on A.C. and his devices were all D.C. The other issue with the High efficiency light bulbs were the need for hazardous chemicals inside them, This slowed down the implementation of the bulbs for years.
Edison started around 1880, on a small scale
