The Incandescent Lamp


Thomas Alva Edison invented the first Incandescent Lamp on 21th of October, 1879. The bulb remained shining 48 hours uninterrupted. It´s one of the most used inventions in the history. A lot of scientists said that they invented the first Incandescent Lamp, but Thomas was the first who patent it.

The Incandescent Lamp is the one with the shortest life and the and it´s true that is not the one with the best efficient, only the 15% of the energy it´s used for light, but is famous becous it´s the cheapest.

One of the most famous disputes over the patenting of the incandescent lamp was between Thomas Edison and Heinrich Göbel, who said that he invented the fist one at 1854, but many
lawsuits estimated that it was very unlikely that Heinrich Göbel had invented the light bulb on that date, so the invention was attributed to Thomas Edison.
