Conrad Hubert(1856-1928)

Do you know when was the first electric flashlight torch in the world born?

Modern civilization really should thank the great American inventor Thomas Edison. IT was he who made ​​the first white light that of commercial value and brought light to mankind. However, Conrad Hubert ought to be respected as well. 100 years ago, he immigrated from Russia to the United States and invented the flashlight. One day Hubert came home from work when a friend proudly showed him a DIY flashing flowerpot. It was that his friend installed a battery and a small light bulb in the pot. When the power switch was on, the light bulb lighted up the flowers, which looked dazzling.

Hubert was enchanted. This gave him an inspiration. Sometimes he walked in the dark night and felt very inconvenient, just not long ago he had to carry a heavy bulky oil lamp to the dark basement to look for something. He was thinking that isn’t it practical and convenient if he can carry a lamp lighting with him? Therefore, Hubert put battery and bulb together in a pipe, then the first mobile lighting flashlight came to the world.
