The lightbulb was so successful, not only because of the invention itself, but because Thomas Edison continually improved the lightbulb. The earliest lightbulbs did not last longer than a day, but with perseverance, Edison was able to improve his invention and eventually log over 1200 hours on a single lightbulb. The main issues presented with improving the lightbulb are the technique of removing air from the lightbulbs and finding the ideal filament for within. While Edison did seem to find some of the best solutions, future inventors continued to improve his designs, leading to a more efficient lightbulb. With every passing year, the lightbulb would become cheaper to manufacture and more energy
