What country was the light bulb made in?

Answer 1

New Jersey is the state that the electric light bulb, radio, telegraph and submarine were all invented at.

Answer 2

Sir Joseph Swann of England and Thomas Edison both developed workable electric incandescent lamps during the 1870s. Edison's lamp became the first commercially successful incandescent lamp (circa 1879). Edison received U.S. Patent 223,898 for his incandescent lamp in 1880.

However, contrary to popular belief, Edison did not "invent" the first lightbulb, he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. Canadians Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans patented a light bulb in 1875, but could not raise the financing to commercialize their invention. Edison bought the rights to their patent

Answer 3

There are two possibilities: you pick.

At De la Rue Stationers, London, UK (1820 or 1840): Warren De la Rue placed a platinum coil in an evacuated tube and made it glow, producing a lasting light, by passing electricity through it.

At The Watt Institute in Dundee, Angus, Scotland(probably, but not certainly: his work is not well documented, ca. 1835): James Bowman Lindsay retains a tenuous claim to the invention of the first light bulb., He is thus credited, although he never developed it. See related link for citation.
