20 Cool Modern Lamp Designs
It is very difficult to say when and where the first lamp was used, but they are mentioned in all three early ages – lamps were used in Egypt, Greece, and Rome. It may sound unbelievable, but scientists say that the lamp was invented and first used around 70,000 BC! Back then they were made of naturally occurring objects – coconuts, sea shells, hollow stones or similar objects filled with moss or a similar material that was soaked with animal fat and ignited. [1 2]
First electric lamp was invented in England in 1809 by Humpry Davy. He connected two wires to a battery and attached a charcoal strip between the other ends of the wires. The charged carbon glowed making the first arc lamp. 70 years later in 1879 - Thomas Edison invented a carbon filament that burned for forty hours. Edison placed his filament in an classic-shaped oxygenless bulb.[3]
Nowadays, lamps burn much longer, shine brighter, and use less energy than ever before. Besides being better, they are way cooler than ever before! So without further ado let’s look at some very creative modern lamp designs!
