[jake-the-peg]

Well first you'd have to agree on which was the first electric light bulb - it certainly wasn't Eddison - his claim is probably best expressed as perfecting rather than inventing it see here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_bulb

Eddison's first marketed bulb was 16 watts

The first light bulb was invented in 1854, years before James Watt had his name adopted by British Asscociation for the Advancement of Science as a measurement of energy.
