History of Electric Light Bulb: Incandescent lamps, Gas discharge lamp (Fluorescent, CFL) and Led lamps
Electric Light Bulb: Incandescent Lamps, Gas discharge Lamp (Fluorescent, CFL) and Led Lamps Electric light bulb is one of the greatest invention that truly illuminated human's life. Though Thomas Edison is credited as the inventor of the electric light bulb as he could manage to develop and manipulate the entire requirements, other eminent researchers should be honoured for their contributions. Original carbon-filament bulb from Thomas Edison's shop in Menlo Park Thomas Edison’s Signature The history of electric light bulb dates back to 1761 when Ebenezer Kinnersley demonstrated heating a wire to incandescence (means light producing). Next breakthrough was in 1802, when Sir Humphry Davy could produce incandescent light by passing current through a strip of platinum (taking advantage of its high melting point and inertness for which it will not react with atmospheric gases), but the light was not bright enough nor did it last long enough. The high cost o
