We wanted to take a moment to thank the true inventor of our industry.  Synergy Lighting recognizes that it was because of Thomas Alva Edison, that more jobs were created than by any President, World Leader, Congressman, or Business Owner in U.S. History.

On Forward And Into the Night

One day while playing around in my workshop…
I played around with some patents I bought….
I experimented with plants and rubber….
But those experiments soon started to blubber..

I tried more times with palms and bamboo…
Then all of a sudden, an idea I possibly knew…
Why maybe with tungsten I could surely play…
If this works, then what would everyone say…

To make this it must be formed in a vacuum tube…
Attach it to wires, and a base held with glue…
I’ll attach a few leads and give it some power…
Then my creation came to life like a beautiful flower…

This thing of mine encased in all glass….
It lit up the night and I could see out into the grass…
Its shape was arbitrary but worked very well…
So I called for Mina, so there was someone to tell..

She smiled with joy and a tearful laugh…
With one of those I could see in my bath…
That’s right my dear, the day of candles is done…
Why its almost as if I have replicated the sun…

Its time to get busy and make more of these…
Lets build a factory and fill it with worker bees..
Every home and business around should want a few…
Imagine the possibilities of what it could do…

We can now enjoy ourselves and travel at night…
Drive around Fords Model A, with a front head light…
The days of night fear will definitely come to pass…
Now lets make a battery so these things can last…

As people began to know and enjoy incandescent light…
Things around the world started to seem all right…
Jobs were created and factories pushed on till late…
Revolution and industry were changed after this date…
