I think too many people take electric light for granted, and some even look at it as their mortal enemy - the International Dark Skies Association for instance. </p><p>I suggest the removal of the term "light bulb" from any article on lighting. It is fine to equate "light bulb" to "lamp", but the lighting industry exclusively uses the word lamp for the "light bulb". "Light bulb" to any lighting person means the glass enclosure of the lamp. </p><p>Secondly, I would suggest change to the 1991 Philips entry to simply call it an "induction lamp" like the entire industry does. I would suggest "1991 Philips introduces the magnetic induction lamp; a variety of fluorescent lamp that lasts 60,000 hours." How this lamp works is worth an article unto itself since it is very interesting. I however will leave that to someone that works for a lamp (not a light bulb) company. </p><p>Finally, you can find an elaborate treatise on this subject in David DiLaura's "A History of Light and Lighting" available through the Illuminating Engineering Soci3ety of North America (www.iesna.org). I would suggest the addition of this to a list of further reading.
