Holiday Lights ✨
The prototype of modern christmas lights are candles, which in the mid-17th century began to be used as decorations for Christmas trees 🎄 I think you can guess that this is very unsafe (candles could easily set the tree and the whole house on fire), so candles were lit only for one night and next to each holiday tree there was always a bucket of water! Some wealthy people hired a special person who watched for several days to ensure that the candles did not go out and the tree did not catch fire 🤵♀️
As a rule, the authorship of the electric garland is attributed to Thomas Edison's assistant - Edward Johnson, but his invention went unnoticed, since journalists did not pay due attention to it. But the idea of telephone operator Ralph Morrison was quickly picked up. He came up with his own version of electric lights when he observed the strings of light bulbs in telephone switchboards 💡
But the real breakthrough in the use of electric Christmas lights as decoration occurred only in 1917, when fifteen-year-old Albert Sadakka, having read about the tragic fire of Christmas tree candles in New York, decided to create a truly safe and affordable garland himself 🧑🏭
He closed the string of light bulbs into a single grid, thus creating what is in the modern sense an electric garland! A few years later, this invention brought Albert a fortune 😎
Do you have Christmas lights hanging at home now? ☺️
