Let’s talk of lighting. Of lamps that we take for granted. Lamps that warm a room and help us avoid ghoulies and ghosties and things that go bump in the night.
Once we lived in darkness, or by the light of the silvery moon.
Occasionally, lightning lit up the sky. Then, someone rubbed two sticks together and a campfire warmed the cold winter nights.
Candles were invented to go from room to room.
In 1752, Benjamin Franklin made the connection between lightning and electricity.
In 1802 Sir Humphry Davy invented the first short-lived light bulb. And in 1872, Thomas Edison made it practical.
In 1882, Edison established the first electric grid in Manhattan and the streets lit up at night.
In 1895, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Clara Driscoll made lighting a room pretty thing to do.
And, we at Traditions Furniture in Downtown Overland Park are still doing it too.
