Thomas Edison did not invent the first electric light. More than 70 years before Edison’s 1879 incandescent lamp patent, the English scientist Humphry Davy developed a technique for producing controlled light from electricity. Sir Humphry Davy (1778–1829) was one of the giants of 19th-century science. A fellow of the prestigious Royal Society, Davy is credited with discovering, and first isolating, elemental sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, boron, barium, and strontium.
