Detailed explanation-1: -Long before Thomas Edison patented–first in 1879 and then a year later in 1880–and began commercializing his incandescent light bulb, British inventors were demonstrating that electric light was possible with the arc lamp.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around 70, 000 BCE, early humans created the first lamps by filling hollow rocks, shells and other natural objects with moss, soaking the moss in animal fat and igniting it. These crude lights are known as “animal lamps.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Three forms of lighting existed, in order of their appearance: torches, lamps, and candles, all of which used animal fat or, in the case of lamps in the most advanced ancient societies, vegetable oil. Thus people thousands of years ago rolled back the darkness, not only of night, but of remote places far from the Sun.
