13. Innovations with Electric Light
In 1878, Edison set up the Edison Electric
Light Company and began research and
development.
He made a breakthrough in October 1879

In 1881, he set up an electric light company in Newark, and the
following year moved his family to New York.
By 1889, AC current would come to dominate the field, and the
