After all, the commercially viable incandescent light bulb was the product of an entire team, not the single inventor we were taught in fifth grade.
The bulb triumphed in the Bright Tomorrow competition run by the US Department of Energy that aimed to find an energy efficient alternative to the 60-watt incandescent light bulb.
The company made some mis-steps en route to its technological triumph last week, but Edison made literally thousands of mis-steps in developing the incandescent light bulb, and in the end the venture was so successful it was declaring a new dividend every Saturday evening.

Similarly, Thomas Edison and his Muckers changed our world with the phonograph when he was just thirty years old, and the incandescent electric light-bulb at thirty-two.

Our target is to make the price of this bulb equivalent to incandescent light.
Then, DallePezze, you hit them with the savings, which, roughly are this: An LED standard light bulb versus an incandescent one will save up to 80% of energy or 50 cents per lamp a year.

The Helieon emits the same amount of light as a 60 watt incandescent bulb but uses just a fraction of the electricity needed to do so.
In theory, a 7.5-watt TLED could generate as much light as a 100-watt incandescent bulb.
While a typical incandescent bulb uses 60 watts of power to generate light, the current state of LED technology can produce the same light for less than 10 watts.
When in 1883 Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, arrayed for a fancy-dress ball as Electric Light, topped off her satin and diamonds with a large incandescent bulb, it subtracted nothing from the elegance of the scheme.
