Myth #13: The Invention of the Light Bulb

Believe that Thomas Edison was the solitary genius behind the creation of the light bulb? Well, it’s time to flip the switch and shed light on the true story! While Edison undeniably played a pivotal role in crafting a commercially successful light bulb, he wasn’t the pioneer in the realm of electric lighting.

Innovation trailblazers like Humphry Davy and Warren de la Rue had already embarked on the electric lighting journey, laying the crucial foundations. Edison, with his brilliance, took these ideas and elevated them to a point where the technology became robust and cost-effective enough for widespread use.
