Joseph Swan (1828-1914) was an English physicist and chemist best known for his work on incandescent lighting and the development of the electric light bulb. Swan invented a working electric lightbulb around the same time as Thomas Edison. Although Edison's version was ultimately more commercially successful, Swan's contributions were significant, leading to the establishment of the first commercial electric light company in the UK.
