    • Abstract:
      But Edison only became serious about developing an incandescent light bulb in the summer of 1878 after a physicist friend, George Barker, encouraged him to explore the possibilities of an electric light system. So, Edison visited an electric arc lamp factory. With the flip of a switch, Edison's incandescent light bulb and his electrical delivery system brought light to even the darkest nights.
