@RPPOZZ In 1875, Edison purchased half of a Toronto medical electrician's patent for a light bulb. That researcher was a Canadian, James Woodward. They attempted to form a company to raise money to refine and market their invention. In 1876, Woodward obtained a U.S. patent on his electric lamp and, in 1879, Edison bought the patent from Woodward, Evans, and all their Canadian partners.
Thus the electric light bulb became American.

@MegaJimmya10 Indeed.

@BlackAndYellowRat fair point :P

Well that's interesting. The screens that need light to be used were used to create something for the first time that's critical to themselves. Paradox.

Ironic since 8 days, all 60+ Watt light bulbs for household application are now banned in EU. Thanks EU Parliament for leaving us democratically without choice.
Nikola Tesla 4 the win.
