erm ..... well they had wax and stuff so probably candles.
and isn't there those fire flies that light up in the dark that they used to put in jars to light places up ? i think so anyway but im not certain.
Before electric lights people had to depend on fire to provide light. Candles and oil lamps would be small and portable (as well as affordable and available.) Torches would be a larger but less steady light and some light would be available from the fire used to cook and heat a home. Later on mirrors and polished metal would be mounted behind candles and torches to help reflect the light to make them seem brighter and candle holders that could hold multiple candles would be used in larger rooms. The latest and greatest in lighting right before electricity was gas lighting. Gas (like the kind in gas stoves) would be sent to a small fixture and the gas would be lit to create a bright flame. Unlike candles (but like oil wick lanterns) this could be adjusted by turning a knob to let in more or less gas. People also tended to sleep when it was dark and wake up with the sun so they did not need any light other than the sun most of the time.

Is there a limit to how many times energy can be transferred?
In theory, energy can be transferred multiple times in various forms such as from one object to another or between different forms like potential and kinetic energy. However, with each transfer, some energy may be lost as heat due to inefficiencies in the system, so there is a practical limit to the number of times energy can be transferred before it becomes too low to be useful.
How many times did Alessandro Volta try and make the battery and fail?
Alessandro Volta tried many times to create a battery before being successful. It's estimated that he conducted over a thousand experiments before inventing the voltaic pile, the first modern electric battery, in 1800.
How has the consumption of energy per person changed over the last 50 years?
There was not that much of a usage before but in modern times people are using too much energy. An example is large houses. You look behind the house and you see at least 2 huge air conditioners. It is using too much energy.
What is the energy in a spring in a pinball machine before it is released?
The energy stored in a spring in a pinball machine before it is released is potential energy. When the spring is compressed, it gains potential energy due to the elastic potential energy stored in it. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy when the spring is released, propelling the pinball into motion.
What famous equation did Einstein propose about the relationship of matter and energy?
Einstein proposed the equation E=mc^2, which states that energy (E) is equal to mass (m) times the speed of light (c) squared. This equation demonstrates the equivalence of mass and energy and is a fundamental concept in modern physics.
