The light bulb contributed to longer working hours and more productivity. It also led to more stress from working long hours.
Well, the light bulb didn't really have that much to do with "productivity", per SE.( yes it did, the workers could see so they could be more efficient.) What the light bulb did was free mankind from being a slave to darkness. It's hard to imagine how life all over the world was before the invention of the light bulb (and electricity, and copper wire, and all the other stuff that goes into illumination). Even with candles, most people everywhere went to bed when it got dark. There was no light outside except for moonlight. None. It was REALLY, REALLY dark out. The invention of the light bulb allowed mankind to do stuff after the sun went down, like walk around downtown, stay up after dark to read, and so on. Imagine - a big city like New York or London or Des Moines, COMPLETELY deserted after dark except for muggers, thieves and bad guys. That's how it was, all over the world, until the light bulb. Yeah, some cities had gas lights, but they were poor imitations, and didn't really help all that much. And they didn't come in until just a few dozen years before electricity anyway.
The light bulb brought LIGHT to human society. It's importance can not be over-stated.
