If you are one of those curious fellows who snoops into great-grandpa’s attic in search for some prehistoric relics from his time, perhaps you once came across and pondered over a strange looking GE incandescent light bulb that was long stored away for future use and then forgotten. Using this site, you will be able to learn why your typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb that lights up your bedroom is NOT the same light bulb that Thomas Edison “invented.” You will also learn how it differs from Thomas Edison’s first successful electric lamp and trace the evolution of General Electric light bulbs since they first were commercially sold in 1879.
