AnswerClick to flip back
A
Humphry Davy
💡 Explanation:
Humphry Davy invented the first electric light in 1802 (the electric arc lamp), which was the precursor to the incandescent bulb. While Edison is credited with the practical long-lasting incandescent bulb (1879), Davy's earlier invention established the principle. Lord Kelvin, Ida Hyde, and Huygens are not associated with electric lighting inventions.
