Invention of the First Lamp

Sir Humphrey Davy invented the first electric carbon arc lamp in 1801. He connected two wires to the battery and attaching a charcoal strip to the other end of the wires making charge carbon glow. This created a sufficiently intense light for illumination. Arc lamps were not immediately suitable for street lighting, it needed perfecting and during the 1870s, both Thomas Edison and Sir Joseph Swann invented electric incandescent lamp independently (Edison by improving the 50 year old patent). It worked when an electric current was passed through a filament, which heated and produced light. These lamps lasted short by modern standards and were inefficient and fragile, but were a giant leap forward and a good base for what came after. Electric bulb was improved in 1920 when a carbon filament that was used until then is replaced with tungsten and a space inside a bulb is filled with a gas, which reduced evaporation of tungsten and with that prolongs the life of a lamp.
