Edison light bulbs, also known as filament light bulbs and retroactively referred to as antique light bulbs or vintage light bulbs, are either carbon- or early tungsten -filament incandescent light bulbs, or modern bulbs that reproduce their appearance.

2022年8月27日 · The real history of who created the first lightbulb goes back decades before Thomas Edison patented the carbon filament bulb in October 1879. Meet the largely-forgotten pioneers who started creating the light bulb some 80 years before Thomas Edison "invented" it.

2014年12月31日 · Thomas Edison used this carbon-filament bulb in the first public demonstration of his most famous invention, the first practical electric incandescent lamp, which took place at his Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory on New Year's Eve, 1879.

2011年11月3日 · Thomas Edison used this carbon-filament bulb in the first public demonstration of his most famous invention—the light bulb, the first practical electric incandescent lamp. The light bulb creates light when electrical current passes through the metal filament wire, heating it to a high temperature until it glows.

2023年6月27日 · In the autumn of 1878, Thomas Alva Edison had a problem. He hadn’t invented the light bulb —yet. Or, to put it more precisely, he had invented a light bulb, but he couldn’t keep it lit...

By January 1879, at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, Edison had built his first high resistance, incandescent electric light. It worked by passing electricity through a thin platinum filament in the glass vacuum bulb, which delayed the filament from melting. Still, the lamp only burned for a few short hours.

2021年8月17日 · Edison lights are modern, reproduction bulbs that harken back to the very first lightbulb made by Thomas Edison in 1879: a glass vacuum globe that let you see through to the filament inside. Check out a few modern options below.

2013年11月22日 · When Edison and his researchers at Menlo Park came onto the lighting scene, they focused on improving the filament -- first testing carbon, then platinum, before finally returning to a carbon filament. By October 1879, Edison’s team had produced a light bulb with a carbonized filament of uncoated cotton thread that could last for 14.5 hours.

Did Thomas Edison invent the first light bulb? Here you’ll find a brief history of the light bulb as well as a timeline of notable dates in lighting history.

The original Edison light bulb has been retired and is now part of the collections of the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The bulb is a carbon-filament bulb and is believed to be the world’s first long-lasting, commercially manufactured light bulb.
