Who Invented the Light Bulb?

In 1802, Sir Humphry Davy, an English physician, created the first electric light by passing a current through a platinum strip. However, the modern light bulb is the result of many innovators' work and continuous improvements over 150 years. The invention of the light bulb helped to establish social order after sundown, extended the workday well into the night, and allowed us to navigate and travel safely in the dark. Without the light bulb, there would be no nightlife. However, creating a steady and affordable source of illumination was not as easy as many history textbooks suggest.

Energy Saving Light Bulbs

According to Energy Star, more than 70 percent of sockets in America still contain the old, inefficient incandescent light bulbs. They’ve challenged America to change just 20 million light bulbs to energy efficient light bulbs such as LED light bulbs in 2014. Using light bulbs to save energy is extremely important to the environment and your energy costs. Not only will making this small switch save you money by reducing your monthly electricity bill, but it will also help reduce overall energy waste and light pollution which are detrimental to our planet.

What are the Best Light Bulb Types?

There are many different types of light bulbs, such as LED, halogen, fluorescent, incandescent, and HID. What light bulb type you choose really depends on the amount of lighting you want or need in a space. For instance, cooking requires an ample amount of light to ensure that you don’t burn your food or injure yourself, so installing halogen light bulbs in your kitchen will provide you bright, clean light. If you’re looking to illuminate a room where the mood fluctuates, like a dining room, you can always install dimmable incandescent light bulbs along with a light dimmer.

Have you noticed the light bulbs that look like corn on the cob? Aptly named corncob LED bulbs, they represent a unique twist on the energy efficiency that this technology brings to the table. Look closely, and you notice that each chamber on the cob consists of an individual, square diode. As a result, you have the unique opportunity to finely tune the level of illumination a corn cob LED brings to a space. For example, a cob might feature between 80 to more than 100 diodes.

Brightening Your Home with Corncob LED Bulbs

When shopping for corn cob LED light bulbs, look for the Kelvins. Abbreviated as “K” on the package, this designation highlights the color temperature. For example, 14,000 lumens corn cob LED Mogul base bulbs might have 4,000 K. This information denotes a neutral white color that generates a bright light suitable for task illumination in a kitchen or garage. Whenever possible, consider the purchase of a dimmable corn cob LED to change the brightness when you want to switch from task lighting to ambiance illumination.

What is your bulb style? Homeowners with a love for everything retro should look more closely at the Edison light bulb collection. It is a fantastic option for homes that embrace a contemporary or antique style. Other light bulbs underscore your appreciation for color play and unique patterning.
