Many of people of the modern world believes that Thomas Edison is the creator of the light bulb. But that statement is purely false. Thomas Edison didn’t create the light bulb but he bought the patent of the light bulb from the original inventors of the device. Joseph Swan was the person to actually come up with the idea and first prototype of the light bulb. So why is Edison considered the inventor? It’s because Edison purchased the patent from the inventor Joseph Swan and improved on the model. So there’s 2 versions of the lightbulb one being Joseph Swan’s model and Thomas Edison’s model.
The model of the lightbulb Edison created was much more efficient and effective than the model made by the inventor Joseph Swan. Thomas Edison’s model was better in the time it lasted, illumination capabilities, and lower power usage for lower power bills around the house. The lightbulb was an invention by Joseph Swan but was not really popular until the modifications and tweaks were made to the device by Thomas Edison. Without those mods being implemented into the device, the lightbulb would still probably be a low success invention.
Without both of the people who worked on the light bulb there would be no usage of the devices to begin with. The idea of the lightbulb would’ve been gone without Joseph Swan and the better bulb would be gone if Thomas Edison never touched the patent of the lightbulb. Without these 2 people in history the lightbulb would not be used like it is today.
