Electric lighting, even restricted to discussion in the 1800s, is a very broad topic with sometimes conflicting information. I did my best to distill things down to a few characters I found interesting. Regardless, there are COUNTLESS numbers of people who helped incrementally shape the history of the lighting who couldn't possibly be squeezed into this 3 minute video. I encourage you to explore more on your own -- there's tons of material out there online, and in the real world. :D
