  After patenting the phonograph, Edison set out to develop an incandescent lamp,
  which would produce light by heating a wire until it glowed brightly. People already
  used electric arc lights, which produced light by creating an arc of electricity between
  two wires. However, the blinding glare these arc lights gave off made them unsuitable for
  home use. Edison, like others before him, conceived the idea of a light with a glowing
  wire, or filament, made of a substance that could endure very high temperatures without
  fusing, melting, or burning out. After hundreds of trials and more than a year of steady
  work, Edison developed a high-resistance carbon-thread filament that burned steadily for
  more than 40 hours. Although not the first incandescent electric light, it was the first practical one because it
  used a small current and, in addition, lasted a long time without burning out.
