The industrial revolution was already well underway before the time of Thomas Edison.
You might say that electricity helped spread the industrial revolution but that would be more to the credit of Nicoli Tesla and alternating current. Edison fought against Tesla (who once worked for Edison) and tried to push direct current and that was the wrong direction. Clearly the light bulb helped to more easily extend the work day, but it needed the alternating electric current to make it feasible.
I would give the credit for lighting the world to Tesla.

Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb helped because we were able to produce light without flame, making less accidental fires, and it brought us out of the dark, made us able to see farhter at night than a candle.
