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

This question and its history is disputed

The filiment causes the bulb to light up was invented by an African American name Latermer

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

Never would have happened without Tesla.

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..

Carbon filament: Latimer's 1882 invention made it possible to mass-produce lightbulb filaments, making electric lighting more affordable and practical.

GMG, GMG having lived pretty much the most part of the last half of the 20th century let me give you a helpful hint – – seriously – don’t believe anything written after 1990. That seems to be the dividing line at which point historians seem to try to insert themselves into their stories.

Cassandra, right so an eight-year-old knows so much about the world – you don’t – and you’ll be happier in your future years if you don’t think you know everything.

Edison did not invent the light bulb, Tesla did!
