{{Timeline of lighting technology}}Artificial lighting technology began to be developed tens of thousands of years ago, and continues to be refined in the present day. Antiquity - 125,000 BC Widespread control of fire by early humans.[1]
- 70,000 BC A hollow rock, shell, or other natural found object was filled with moss or a similar material that was soaked in animal fat and ignited.[2]
- c. 4500 BC oil lamps
- c. 3000 BC candles are invented.
18th century - 1780 Aimé Argand invents the central draught fixed oil lamp.
- 1784 Argand adds glass chimney to central draught lamp.
- 1792 William Murdoch begins experimenting with gas lighting and probably produced the first gas light in this year.
- 1800 French watchmaker Bernard Guillaume Carcel overcomes the disadvantages of the Argand-type lamps with his clockwork fed Carcel lamp.
19th century - 1800-1809 Humphry Davy invents the arc lamp when using Voltaic piles (battery) for his electrolysis experiments.
- 1802 William Murdoch illuminates the exterior of the Soho Foundry with gas.
- 1805 Philips and Lee's Cotton Mill, Manchester was the first industrial factory to be fully lit by gas.
- 1809 Humphry Davy publicly demonstrates first electric lamp over 10,000 lumens, at the Royal Society.[3]
- 1813 National Heat and Light Company formed by Fredrich Winzer (Winsor)

- 1874 Alexander Lodygin patents an incandescent light bulb.
- 1875 Henry Woodward patents an electric light bulb.
- 1876 Pavel Yablochkov invents the Yablochkov candle, the first practical carbon arc lamp, for public street lighting in Paris.
- 1879 Thomas Edison and Joseph Wilson Swan patent the carbon-thread incandescent lamp. It lasted 40 hours.
- 1880 Edison produced a 16-watt lightbulb that lasts 1500 hours.
- 1882 Introduction of large scale direct current based indoor incandescent lighting and lighting utility with Edison's first Pearl Street Station
- c. 1885 Incandescent gas mantle invented, revolutionises gas lighting.
- 1886 Great Barrington, Massachusetts demonstration project, a much more versatile (long distance transmission) transformer based alternating current based indoor incandescent lighting system introduced by William Stanley, Jr. working for George Westinghouse.[5] Stanley lit 23 businesses along a 4000 feet length of main street stepping a 500 AC volt current at the street down to 100 volts to power incandescent lamps at each location.[6]
- 1893 GE introduces first commercial fully enclosed carbon arc lamp. Sealed in glass globes, it lasts 100h and therefore 10 times longer than hitherto carbon arc lamps [3][7]
- 1893 Nikola Tesla puts forward his ideas on high frequency and wireless electric lighting[8][9] which included public demonstrations where he lit a Geissler tube wirelessly.
- 1894 D. McFarlan Moore creates the Moore tube, precursor of electric gas-discharge lamps.
- 1897 Walther Nernst invents and patents his incandescent lamp, based on solid state electrolytes.
20th century - 1901 Peter Cooper Hewitt creates the first commercial mercury-vapor lamp.
- 1904 Alexander Just and Franjo Hanaman invent the tungsten filament for incadescent lightbulbs.
- 1910 Georges Claude demonstrates neon lighting at the Paris Motor Show.
- 1912 Charles P. Steinmetz invents the metal-halide lamp.[10]
- 1913 Irving Langmuir discovers that inert gas could double the luminous efficacy of incadescent lightbulbs.
- 1917 Burnie Lee Benbow patents the coiled coil filament.
- 1920 Arthur H. Compton invents the sodium-vapor lamp.[11]
