Thomas Edison didn't exactly invent the light bulb; some other people had made some that didn't work very well. But he did perfect a light bulb that was worth using, so is usually given credit as the inventor.

While conversion of electrical energy to light was demonstrated in laboratories as early as 1801, it took more than 100 years for the modern form of electric light bulb to be developed, with the contributions of many inventors.
The invention of the light bulb is usually attributed in Britain to Joseph Wilson Swan and in the United States to Thomas Alva Edison (the first to market the device successfully). Some sources indicate that Heinrich Göbel built the first functional bulbs three decades earlier. He later challenged Edison's patent while living in the United States, but his legal "interference case" was overruled in court. Alexander Nikolayevich Lodygin independently developed an incandescent light bulb in 1874. Many others also had a hand in the development of a practical device for the production of electric light.
