<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1798624, member: 29643&quot;]Even today in 2013, what you described would not result in what you&#039;re apparently expecting. You mean an electrified socket, not an electrified switch. If you insisted on screwing a (light)bulb into a switch, you&#039;d likely end up with a hand full of crushed glass after a really long period of pointlessly screwing something into something else which doesn&#039;t fit it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you, on the other hand, were talking about incandescent bulbs powered by electricity, I&#039;m not sure what you&#039;re getting at. There were different versions of electric powered lamps as early as the 1830s. Edison&#039;s 1880 patent was granted on the idea that it could be produced and available to the masses. A lay person would be aware of the bulb and have an idea of how it would work conceptually. They would doubt (similar to how we do today) YOUR ability and knowledge of chemistry and electricity to be able to develop a bulb that would be able to do what Edison&#039;s final bulb (in 1886?) did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
