Thomas Edison Company started to lighten the streets and vital places in New York. He converted the street nights of New York to shinny streets by installing more than 100 bulbs in the first lighting project in his career [2], however, the lighting system required power generation. The power generation was supplied by Edison small DC power stations which were built in various places nearby vital areas which were lighted by Edison’s company [1].

In the industrial revolution Gas lighting was one of the most helpful thing that was ever invented, the person that invented gas lighting was The Scottish inventor William Murdock he first invented gas lighting in his hometown in england in 1792 then he installed gas lighting in an English factory in 1798 but by that time the streets of London, Paris, Baltimore, and the united states were lit with gas lights.

The incandescent light bulb was a phenomenal discovery that occurred during the late 1800’s and was mainly invented by a man named Thomas Edison. It became a recent essential product that we humans use on a daily basis in many more appliances than one. This invention was created in 1890 in New Jersey by Thomas Edison to help people to be able to work during the night after night had fallen and to make people’s lives easier ("Edison's Lightbulb”). It helped many people in an amazing array of different ways, however, everything has it’s disadvantages, and so did the incandescent light bulb ("History of the Incandescent Light.”)

The Semiahmoo Harbor Lighthouse was established near Blaine in 1905, after determining that a red lantern hanging from a cluster of three piles at the entrance to Drayton Harbor wasn’t enough. The 1 ½ story dwelling had a lantern at the center of its peaked roof with a fourth order Fresnel lens and a third-class Daboll fog trumpet. In 1939, an automatic light and bell were installed, putting the lighthouse keeper out of a job. But unless weather conditions were perfect, the bell could not be heard even a mile away. It was deactivated and demolished in 1944.

In the late 1800s many locomotive companies began using electric headlamps instead of oil lamps. There were multiple problems that came with using the electric lights instead of oil. It was very difficult to “supply electric power when the train was in a station”(Presentation Magazine). The light was extremely bright and made it hard for the drivers of others trains to see when they were arriving at the station. In the early 1900’s the arc lamp was invented and made it much easier for other train drivers to see and it allowed people to safely cross. The headlamp shown in class was made using black metal, possibly iron, with a glass plate in the front which allows the light to pass through it. The glass is on a hinge so it could be opened and closed. The artifact relates to what we are learning because the locomotive industry became one of the largest and most important industries in America for a long time during and after the civil war. The trains were used to transport supplies to the troops all throughout the war, and after the war they were used as transportation for people. There were many investors in the trains that made huge amounts of

Equality 7-2521 had discovered a tunnel that contained remnants of the Unmentionable Times. By performing an experiment consisting of a dissected frog hanging from a copper wire and a metal knife, he later discovered and holstered the power of the sky, or electricity. With his discovery, he performed another experiment by sticking an iron rod outside of his tunnel during a thunderstorm, learning that the power of the sky causes lightning and that it is attracted to metal (Rand 52-54). After gathering multiple materials from around the tunnel, he combined them together and placed them into a box. When Equality 7-2521 closed the current, the wires of the lightbulb glowed without the use of flint or fire, and thus the invention was reborn. The single light consumed the entire room and was far brighter than any candle. Equality 7-2521 determined that his discovery and invention of a lightbulb, a symbol of knowledge, was far greater than any man and should be shared with all of his bothers. By sharing his invention with the World Council of Scholars, he would be forgiven

In 1819, times were different .The conveniences we have now and sometimes take for granted, were not available to people back then .One of those things was the invention of the light bulb. There was a need for this invention because, before light bulbs there were oil lamps. Light bulbs helped because the light lasted longer and also because it allowed for people to do many things at night, such as work. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Edison tried thousands of different materials for his filaments, but most of them produced light or only a short time. He finally tried a carbonized cotton thread, which burned for many hours. Eventually, light bulbs were made using metal

The light bulb was first invented by Thomas Edison on December 31, 1879. Before the people were able to have access to a light bulb they revolved around the sun. People woke up and went to work when the sun rose, and they also went home and went to sleep when the sun went down. With the invention of the light bulb people were able to have extended work hours and didn’t have to solely rely on the sun. Today we have been able to put light bulbs in most of the items that we use on a daily basis. People in today’s society rely on a man made light just as much as they rely on the sun. Without a light people would not be able to travel during the night. We would not be able to function in today’s time without a

He invented an electric battery by connecting wires into the battery and carbon, the carbon produced light. Later on, an English physicist, Joseph Wilson Swan wanted to create a light that lasted longer and worked better. He discovered that carbon paper filament worked well but burned too fast. In 1878 he developed his electric lamps. In 1877, Charles Francis Brush made some carbon arcs to light up a public square in Ohio, they were only used in few streets and stores.

So one of the things that was invented that have been reinvented is a traffic light. The traffic light was invented in the 1920s by an inventor named William ports. He used the three main colors green, amber, and red. The first traffic light was put

Have you ever wondered were led lights came from..? well I Daniel Mcfarland was born in Pennsylvania on February, 27 1869 and attended Lehigh University for college from 1884-1889. I studied electrical engineering, After experimenting with different sources, I started using glow discharges to produce light. In 1986 I had devised a glow discharge lighting system, creating an extension to the Geissler tube. The lamp utilized nitrogen and carbon dioxide as the luminous gas because they emitted a soft white light. My technique was the first commercially variable light source based on gas discharge instead of incandescence, and it's considered the predecessor to contemporary neon and fluorescent lighting.

Pharaonic Egypt seemed to evolve in year 3000 B.C. Evidence is supported from the Thinite era of royal and private tombs. The irrigation system of ancient time reflects an organized nation of people. Irrigation evolved in the New Kingdom. The diet of ancient Egyptians varied from vegetables, such as beans and chick peas, to the meats of wildfowl and poultry. Egyptians started a system cattle raising but it failed due to the wet climate. Mostly they imported cattle from Asia and Nubia. The deserts surrounding Egypt offered dyes (black and green), building stones (granite, limestone, sandstone, etc.), and semi-precious stones (turquoise, cornelians, and amethysts). Gold was also a heavy import from the Arabian and Nubian deserts. Foreign

The Portland Head Light is the oldest lighthouse in Maine and has been guiding traffic into Portland Harbor for more than two-hundred years. The idea for the lighthouse came about after a shipwreck in 1787, but wasn’t completed until after the First Congress passed the Lighthouse Act in 1789, which placed lighthouses under the control of the federal government. On January 10, 1791, the Portland Head Light was officially put into commission, after President George Washington authorized the use of $1,500

The plans of the lighthouse came through in 290 B.C. They completed it twenty years later. It became to be known as the first lighthouse in the world and the tallest in existence (after the great pyramid of Giza).

The first floor offered food for visitors and there was a staircase available for tourists to ascend to the very top. The top of the tower reached approximately 450 feet high, and being on the ocean, this created a very unique view causing many people to travel to experience it. The only taller man made structure of the time is the Great Pyramid of Giza, also in Egypt. Sostratus of Cnidus was the architect who designed and oversaw production of this structure, this fact was recorded in many places. Most of the information we have about the lighthouse is from travelers writing about their travels in great detail. Also referred to as the Pharos Lighthouse because it was built on Pharos Island, pharos became the root in many languages for the word lighthouse because of the strong connection. This is said to be the only seven ancient wonders of the world that had a practical reason to create. The Lighthouse of Alexandria also lasted the third longest of the seven wonders. The image of the lighthouse has been used on coins and documents since its creation. It is easily recognizable with its three tiers and statue on top. The lighthouse has come back up recently because scuba divers off the coast of Alexandria have been spotted blocks of limestone that appear to have been from the lighthouse. There are also several statues of egyptian and sea gods that have been found and this site is
