21 October 1879 - EDISON PERFECTS ELECTRIC LIGHT: EdisongCOs lamp would
consist of a filament housed in a glass vacuum bulb. He had his own
glass blowing shed where the fragile bulbs were carefully crafted for
his experiments. Edison was trying to come up with a high resistance
system that would require far less electrical power than was used for
the arc lamps. This could eventually mean small electric lights suitable
for home use.
His big breakthrough came when he invented a bamboo filament to create
a successful incandescent lightbulb. Other people had been working on
the making of light bulbs in the past, but none of the earlier bulbs
was ever able to work for more than a few minutes. Finally, on October
21, 1879, EdisongCOs light bulb burned for a continuous thirteen and a
half hours. The following bulbs lasted for 40 hours and Edison and his
team worked hard to light the laboratory and his home with several of
the new light bulbs for Christmas.
