In 1877, Thomas Alva Edison began experimenting with electric lighting based on the main principle of convenience for the consumer. Thousands of expensive experiments with platinum wire, carbon elements made of bamboo fiber, paper, and charred threads led to the first patent for an incandescent lamp in 1879. In 1880 (145 years ago) Edison launched these lamps into mass production, which eventually led to the process of worldwide electrification.
