Incandescent Electric Light Bulb
2 answers
Sir Humphrey Davey invented the first carbon electric lamp in 1801. But Thomas Edison was granted a patent to the lamps most commonly used to today (Incandescent Lamps) in 1879. But others argue Joseph Swann created the same thing around the same time but didn't get a patent for it.

The first electric mine hand lamp was patented in the U.S. on Oct. 29, 1889, five years after the same lamp was patented in England. The Philadelphia & Reading Coal Co., Lehigh Coal & Navigation Co., Lehigh Valley Coal Co. and Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. experimented with electric handlamps as early as 1902. Thomas Edison experimented with a rechargeable storage battery cap lamp in 1912 that was submitted for patent in 1923 and patent issued in 1928.

An electric lava lamp works by heating up a colored wax mixture using a light bulb at the base of the lamp. As the wax heats up, it becomes less dense and rises to the top of the lamp, creating the lava lamp effect. When the wax cools down, it sinks back to the bottom to repeat the cycle.

Sir Joseph Swann of England and Thomas Edison both developed workable electric incandescent lamps during the 1870s. Edison's lamp became the first commercially successful incandescent lamp (circa 1879). Edison received U.S. Patent 223,898 for his incandescent lamp in 1880.
However, contrary to popular belief, Edison did not "invent" the first lightbulb, he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. Canadians Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans patented a light bulb in 1875, but could not raise the financing to commercialize their invention. Edison bought the rights to their patent

To produce a parallel beam of light using a convex lens and an electric lamp, you would place the lamp at the focal point of the convex lens. This will cause the light rays emitted by the lamp to become parallel after passing through the lens. Adjust the distance between the lamp and the lens until the light converges at the focal point and then diverges as a parallel beam.

They were actually invented before Edison invented the incandescent light bulb by Nikola Tesla.
Edison did not care for them because they worked only on A.C. and his devices were all D.C.
The other issue with the High efficiency light bulbs were the need for hazardous chemicals inside them, This slowed down the implementation of the bulbs for years.
