Artificial lighting technology began to be developed tens of thousands of years ago, and continues to be refined in the present day.


Video Timeline of lighting technology



Antiquity

  • 125,000 BC Widespread control of fire by early humans.
  • 70,000 BC A hollow rock, shell, or other natural found object was filled with moss or a similar material that was soaked in animal fat and ignited.
  • c. 4500 BC oil lamps
  • c. 3000 BC candles are invented.

Maps Timeline of lighting technology



18th century

  • 1780 Aimé Argand invents the central draught fixed oil lamp.
  • 1784 Argand adds glass chimney to central draught lamp.
  • 1792 William Murdoch begins experimenting with gas lighting and probably produced the first gas light in this year.

19th century

  • 1800 French watchmaker Bernard Guillaume Carcel overcomes the disadvantages of the Argand-type lamps with his clockwork fed Carcel lamp.
  • 1800-1809 Humphry Davy invents the arc lamp when using Voltaic piles (battery) for his electrolysis experiments.
  • 1802 William Murdoch illuminates the exterior of the Soho Foundry with gas.
  • 1805 Philips and Lee's Cotton Mill, Manchester was the first industrial factory to be fully lit by gas.
  • 1809 Humphry Davy publicly demonstrates first electric lamp over 10,000 lumens, at the Royal Society.
  • 1813 National Heat and Light Company formed by Fredrich Winzer (Winsor)
  • 1815 Humphry Davy invents the miner's safety lamp.
  • 1835 James Bowman Lindsay demonstrates a light bulb based electric lighting system to the citizens of Dundee.
  • 1841 Arc-lighting is used as experimental public lighting in Paris.
  • 1853 Ignacy Lukasiewicz invents the modern kerosene lamp.
  • 1856 glassblower Heinrich Geissler confines the electric arc in a Geissler tube.
  • 1867 A. E. Becquerel demonstrates the first fluorescent lamp.
  • 1874 Alexander Lodygin patents an incandescent light bulb.
  • 1875 Henry Woodward patents an electric light bulb.
  • 1876 Pavel Yablochkov invents the Yablochkov candle, the first practical carbon arc lamp, for public street lighting in Paris.
  • 1879 Thomas Edison and Joseph Wilson Swan patent the carbon-thread incandescent lamp. It lasted 40 hours.
  • 1880 Edison produced a 16-watt lightbulb that lasts 1500 hours.
  • 1882 Introduction of large scale direct current based indoor incandescent lighting and lighting utility with Edison's first Pearl Street Station
  • c. 1885 Incandescent gas mantle invented, revolutionises gas lighting.
  • 1886 Great Barrington, Massachusetts demonstration project, a much more versatile (long distance transmission) transformer based alternating current based indoor incandescent lighting system introduced by William Stanley, Jr. working for George Westinghouse. Stanley lit 23 businesses along a 4000 feet length of main street stepping a 500 AC volt current at the street down to 100 volts to power incandescent lamps at each location.
  • 1893 GE introduces first commercial fully enclosed carbon arc lamp. Sealed in glass globes, it lasts 100h and therefore 10 times longer than hitherto carbon arc lamps
  • 1893 Nikola Tesla puts forward his ideas on high frequency and wireless electric lighting which included public demonstrations where he lit a Geissler tube wirelessly.
  • 1894 D. McFarlane Moore creates the Moore tube, precursor of electric gas-discharge lamps.
  • 1897 Walther Nernst invents and patents his incandescent lamp, based on solid state electrolytes.
