Joseph Swan, who was a British physicist and chemist, developed a method of processing that avoided the early bulb blackening. His house was the first in the world to be lit by a light bulb.

1976

Edward E. Hammer develops the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL)while working under Richard Thayer. Hammer's CFL worked at curbing reflective losses by spacing his spiral design in a certain way. The prototype sat in Hammer's office and it is theorized that visitors from competing companies copied the Click to edit Master subtitle styledesign. The first prototype was donated to the Smithsonian institute.

Now, fluorescent lights are used widely as they can produce more light energy and release less heat compared to the incandescent light. It can also last longer than incandescent light.
