One place that was delighted to have the electric light was businesses -- now people could work late without worrying about the dangers of candle-power. Candles were tipped over and caused fires, in other words. Theaters also began using electric light bulbs -- perhaps the first was the Bijou Theatre in Boston, which electrified in December of 1882. Cities began installing electric lights in their streets.

∙ 9y agoThe electric light or an electric arc was invented in the early 1800s by Humphry Davy. However, it was Thomas Edison who invented a light bulb that was long-lasting. In 1879, he was able to produce a light bulb that lasted for 13 hour. He went on to produce a bulb that lasted for 1200 hours.

∙ 7y agoThere were several variations in light bulbs during their development.
The commercial version of the modern incandescent light bulb (carbon filament bulb) was patented by Thomas Edison in November, 1879, after it was developed at Menlo Park, NJ.
Sir Joseph Swan, an English electric lighting pioneer, had the first residence illuminated by carbon bulbs: Underhill in Gateshead, Dorset, England in 1880.

∙ 6y agoIn 1802, Humphry Davy invented the first electric light. He'd experimented with electricity and developed an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light. This he named Electric Arc lamp. Sadly the lamp did not produce enough lumens to be practically useful
However, later in 1850 English physicist named Joseph Wilson Swan created his version of the "light bulb" . He enclosed carbonized paper filaments in an evacuated glass bulb, by 1860 he had a working prototype, but sadly, the lack of a good vacuum and an adequate supply of electricity resulted in a bulb whose "lifetime was much too short to be considered an effective producer of light".
In 1878, the mane we consider the inventor of the light bulb Mr Thomas Edison began seriously researching the development of a practical incandescent lamp then, on October 14, 1878, Edison filed his first ever patent for "Improvement In Electric Lights". He continued to test several types of material for metal filaments to improve upon his original design and by 4th Nov 1879, he filed yet another U.S. patent for an electric lamp using "a carbon filament or strip coiled and connected to platina contact wires."

∙ 10y agoThe first light bulb was created using carbon. It wasn't even a bulb. Edison made a more practical carbon filament. Tungsten wasn't used until 1910.

Which was invented first the laptop computer or the digital camera or the refrigerator or the electric light bulb?
Electric Light Bulb
What is inside in light bulb?
That powder is Talc, it is used to coat the inside of the bulb to make the light more opaque so that it is less harsh on the eyes.
Who made the frit light bulb?
Typo: Who made the (First) light bulb? The first light bulb ever created was by Humphry Davy (Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison made the bulb better in 1875. Most of us have heard of Thomas, but not many have heard that Humphry was the original creator, but if it weren't for him, we would not have had much good technology.
What is the purpose of the light bulb stem?
It is used to support the filament assembly.
Can dielectric grease be used on the contact point of a light bulb socket?
No, that would not be proper. The contact point of a light bulb socket has no need of any coating. A light bulb socket that is difficult to turn a bulb in will benefit from some light oil on the bulb threads prior to installing. Dielectric grease will harden, and is meant to insulate and protect electrical junctions from exposure and vibration.
When was the first electric light bulb used?
where was the first light bulb used
When was electricity used to power the light bulb?
The first electric light bulb was made in 1880
Was neon used in the first light bulb?
no
What year did he invent the light bulb?
Thomas Edison invented the first light bulb that was available for commercial use in 1879. The light bulb was first used in Menlo Park.
When was the light bulb first used in homes?
The first light bulb was invented around the 1850's or so when Benjamin Franklin discovered how electricity worked. His work was continued with light bulbs.
How did Thomas Edison make the light bulb?
he used many different threads, he made the first light bulb with horse's tail hair.
Is argon used in a light bulb?
yes argon is used for light bulb and it is not reactive
Which gas used in light bulb?
The gas in a light bulb is Argon
What is a light bulb used for?
Light
Who invented the first light bulb in 1880?
Joseph Wilson Swan had invented the first light bulb in england, as Thomas Edison was invented the light bulb in America.
Why isn't an iron casing used for a light bulb?
If iron is used, there will be no light emitted from the light bulb as iron is opaque.
How do you invent the light bulb?
Lol you cant invent the light bulb .It was already invented . Did you know that Thomas eddison did not invent the first eletirc light bulb but the first incandesent light bulb . It took him alought of research and work to invent ithe light bulb though .
