The light bulb was not invented during the Victorian era, which lasted from 1837 to 1901. While Thomas Edison is often credited with the invention of the practical incandescent light bulb in 1879, other inventors, such as Sir Humphry Davy and Joseph Swan, contributed to its development before him. The Victorian period did see the commercialization and widespread use of electric lighting, which transformed society.
