Original carbon-filament bulb from Thomas Edison's shop in Menlo Park. Light bulbs with a carbon filament were first demonstrated by Thomas Edison in October 1879. [1] [2] These carbon filament bulbs, the first electric light bulbs, became available commercially that same year. [3]
A 230-volt LED filament light bulb, with a B22 base. The filaments are visible as the four yellow vertical lines. A LED filament light bulb is a LED lamp which is designed to resemble a traditional incandescent light bulb with visible filaments for aesthetic and light distribution purposes, but with the high efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
The filament in a tungsten light bulb is not easy to break when the bulb is cold, but filaments are more vulnerable when they are hot because the incandescent metal is less rigid. An impact on the outside of the bulb may cause the filament to break or experience a surge in electric current that causes part of it to melt or vaporize.
A 230-volt LED filament lamp, with an E27 base. The filaments are visible as the eight yellow vertical lines. An assortment of LED lamps commercially available in 2010: floodlight fixtures (left), reading light (center), household lamps (center right and bottom), and low-power accent light (right) applications An 80W Chips on board (COB) LED module from an industrial light luminaire, thermally ...
English engineer Joseph Swan invented the Incandescent light bulb. 1879: American physicist Edwin Herbert Hall discovered the Hall Effect. 1879: Thomas Alva Edison introduced a long-lasting filament for the incandescent lamp. 1880: French physicists Pierre Curie and Jacques Curie discovered Piezoelectricity. 1882
The bulb is cared for by the Centennial Light Bulb Committee, a partnership of the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Livermore Heritage Guild, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, and Sandia National Laboratories. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department plans to house and maintain the bulb for the rest of its life, regardless of length.
