"The Real Inventor of the Light Bulb When the question is asked,who invented the light bulb, Joseph Swan and Thomas Edison are usually given credit. However, both of these men worked off of previous inventions. Historians estimate that over twenty inventors worked toward the creation and design of the light bulb. Of these, Edison's version was the most efficient." You may as well read from here: http://www.lightbulb.co.uk/who-invented-the-light-bulb.html And that's what i studied when i was young :P
