The beginnings of the lamp

The first lamps were rudimentary and primarily oil-fueled. They were used not only for illumination but also for rituals and as symbols of spirituality. A major transformation occurred with the advent of the incandescent light bulb, invented by Thomas Edison at the end of the 19th century. This innovation marked the beginning of electric lighting, revolutionizing the use of lamps and, at the same time, our way of life.
