yes he improved the light bulb that Edison invented using the carbon filament.
It made the light bulb have light.
The filament in a light bulb is typically made of tungsten.

A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
The purpose of the filament in a light bulb is to produce light when electricity passes through it, causing it to heat up and emit light.
The filament in an incandescent light bulb is typically made of tungsten.
Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the carbon filament used in the first practical incandescent light bulb. He experimented with various materials before finding that carbonized bamboo was the most effective in producing a long-lasting light.
Modern light bulb filaments are usually Tungsten not Carbon. However early bulbs used things like silk coated with Carbon. Filament means thin thread. The bulbs are filled with inert gas like Argon to stop the filament from burning up with oxygen. Arc lamps use Carbon rods though.
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
In 1879, Thomas Edison received a patent for a light bulb that was an improvement of an existing carbon filament design that used electricity to heat that filament in a vacuum so as to produce light that could provide useful illumination. It is called an incandescent light bulb.
The coiled filament in a light bulb is typically located at the center of the bulb inside the glass envelope. This filament is what heats up and produces light when an electric current passes through it.
