Of the countless inventions throughout history, there's one that never ceases to brighten up our day. Name the man or woman credited with inventing the light bulb.

Thomas Edison was a brilliant, self-educated thinker who used trial and error to produce the very first incandescent light bulb in 1879. It must be noted that despite his partial deafness and rare case of childhood scarlet fever, he continued to see the light!
