Who produced the first commercial light bulb in 1879?
Correct answer: Thomas Edison
TheCriminalMcButtfac
Thomas Edison was purely a conartist and business man. Not an inventor. And most of what the people in the US credit to Thomas, actually was invented by Nikola Tesla.

Jaded9162, Wrong. Tesla worked at Edison Machine Works. Founded by Thomas Edison AFTER he made the first commercial light bulb. It started with Volta in 1800. Inventors worked off of each other making improvements. Swan pretty much created the light bulb but it was only good ofr demonstration, not practical use. That is where Edison came in. That is why the question is so specific with the date and use of the word "commercial"

African American Lewis Lattimore Deserves the Credit..He Created a Filament to the LightBulb...But Edison Took the Credit & Fame

Everyone is crediting Tesla, but Joseph Swan in Scotland produced commercial lightbulb ten years before Edison. Edison adapted Swann's design.

TheCriminalMcButtfac, So very true Nikola Tesla was a man before his time. Not many of his inventions haven’t changed since the first day he invented them. He was and still is the best investor that has ever lived and we owe so much to him

The guy that invented television was buried by a corporation that ran with the idea, and showed it at the 1936 world's fair as their own idea. I think the inventor died broke. " It's not the idea but who exploits the idea that matters".- Bill Gates

Live21Love, and let's not forget Latimer, who actually developed a longer lasting filament which Edison bought the patent to..

marimargo, YES YES YES! I 100% AGREE WITH YOUR STATEMENT! The information that we had learned in school was set up but Rockefeller. He chose to only shed light on what he WANTED children to know, not what we actually NEEDED to know. His quote specifically says, "I want a nation of workers, not a nation of thinkers." Most of everything we've come to know was and is a lie or has been (no offense) white washed. If someone dares to step up like myself and spread the truth by doing my own deep deep research+ reading books written a looong time ago; We're called "conspiracy theorist and crazy." Not to mention, we're silenced and or un-alived.

I only knew that Thomas Edison made the first commercial light bulbs and Isaac newton discovered gravity
marimargo
what we learned in school was so tainted by personal opinion or wish to credit someone that too many "facts" exist to know the truth. You can see it in all the various opinions in the comments, but nothing but opinions remain.

It was Joseph Swan who produced the first electric light bulb, just ahead of Edison. Edison tried to sue him but eventually they came to van agreement and sold light bulbs under the name "Ediswan#.

I was taught that Edison was a great scientist, but now I know that he was just a businessman. Nicole Tesla was a scientist.
