Who invented the electric light?

It is generally believed that the electric light was invented by Thomas Edison, an American. But if the textual research is serious, another American, Henri Goebbels (Heinrich G? 0? 2bel) A reliable electric light bulb with the same principle and material was invented several decades earlier than Edison, and many others also made many contributions to the invention of electric light before Edison. 180 1 year, the British chemist David electrified the platinum wire to glow. He also invented the electric candle in 18 10, which was illuminated by an arc between two carbon rods. 1854, Henry Goebbels put a carbonized bamboo filament under a vacuum glass bottle to make it glow. Today, his invention seems to be the first incandescent lamp with practical value. The light bulb he tested at that time could last for 400 hours, but he didn't apply for a design patent immediately. 1850, the Englishman Joseph Wilson Swan began to study electric lights. 1878, he obtained a British patent for a light bulb powered by carbon wire under vacuum, and started to set up a company in Britain to install electric lights in every household. 1874, two Canadian electrical technicians applied for a patent for electric lamps. They filled the glass bulb with nitrogen, and the electrified carbon rod made it glow. But they didn't have enough money to continue developing this invention, so they sold the patent to Edison on 1875. Edison tried to improve the filament after buying the patent. 1879, he changed to carbon filament to make a light bulb, which successfully lasted 13 hours. By 1880, his carbonized bamboo filament bulb had been successfully maintained in the laboratory for 1200 hours. But in Britain, Swan sued Edison for patent infringement and won. Edison's electric light company in England was forced to make Swan a partner. But later Swan sold his rights and patents to Edison. In America, Edison's patent has also been challenged. The United States Patent Office once ruled that his invention had a criminal record and was invalid. Finally, after years of litigation, Edison obtained the patent right of carbon filament incandescent lamp. Edison's greatest discovery was that tungsten was used as the filament instead of carbon. Later, in 1906, General Electric invented the manufacturing method of tungsten wire for electric lamps. Finally, the method of manufacturing tungsten filament at a low price was solved, and the tungsten filament bulb has been used ever since.
