CNBC is on a roll with these YouTube documentaries
-
13:52 Glanced at my Blue LED Strips filled PC Setup God bless Shuji Nakamura and his peers.
-
Thank you, CNBC for doing this kind of stories which will awake humans how we take technology for granted! Keep it coming!
-
did we forget my old friend the black light? "William H. Byler is credited with inventing the black light in 1935, and according to the University of Central Missouri, Byler graduated there in 1927 with a major in chemistry and physics. A black light works by producing UVA light, or ultraviolet light, that we cannot see."

Thank you CNBC for crediting Joseph swan for the light build invention and Edison for improving it
-
More importantly, if the lightbulb was not invented yet, what appeared on top of Edison’s head when he had an idea?
-
I remember when my grandfather started to build kits to convert early blue LED's to regular light bulb sockets in clusters. He finished the first prototype in 2008 and he still uses that bulb. He wasn't a very smart business man so he mainly did this for his own personal usage.

All this work so I could RGB everything in my room. Thanks scientists :)
-
I love these mini documentaries on CNBC
-
Not one mention of Lewis latimer, inventor of the carbon filament 😥
-
Concise and filled with interesting details that are often missing from similar reports. Well done, CNBC!
-
🤔 no mention of Nikola Tesla no where in this documentary. How come?
-
When the last speaker started on the interactions between lighting and health I thought he’d put in a word about light pollution.
-
Kudos! What a great idea! More of this, please!❤️
-
Thank you for making this video so I could use this to complete my homework
-
Love those old black and white photos from back in the days

Lewis Howard Latimer Though Thomas Edison is recognized as the inventor of the light bulb, African-American inventor Lewis Latimer played an important role in its development. In 1881,Latimer patented a method for making carbon filaments, allowing light bulbs to burn for hours instead of minutes.
-
The lighting ideas in developing countries is also worth looking at
-
This inspired me to buy some LED bulbs which I did today. Glad to see the other inventors are slowly getting credit for their inventions other than ThOmAs EdIsOn . Seriously people! Give credit where it's due!
-
Curiosity and the will to explore the unknown is what drives not only human development, but the markets themselves! This channel is great and is one of the inspirations that I use to shape mine, hopefully the quality will eventually get this good! Please keep putting this content out!
