He bought the light bulb patent from a Canadian by the name of Henry Woodward in Toronto, Ontario in August of 1876. Therefore technically your question was not answered correctly by anyone. Yes I know the contest is closed but the facts must be stated. Thanks Edison did not in fact create the Light Bulb but an electric carbon filament lamp.

"I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work.
