Best Answer

The creator of the first working light bulb was Joseph Wilson Swan. Swan's house was the first place in the world to be lit by a light bulb (and hydroelectric power). He patented the light bulb in England.

Thomas Alva Edison improved Swan's light bulb by using a better incandescent material and a higher vacuum and patented it in the US.

Rather than fighting for the ownership of the patent, Swan and Edison formed the Edison & Swan United Electric Light Company.
