PLEASE SUPPLY CORRECT AND COMPLETE INFOR...
These morons mentioned the inventor of the light bulb and the developed of the flourescent tubes but they forgot of maybe intentionally did not mention that the inventor of flourescent tube was Agapito Flores (Filipino).

- Re: Agapito Flores
  I am a Filipino, and just would like to share with you a breaking news from the Philippines regarding this matter. Agapito Flores didn't exist at all, Association of Filipino Scientist confirms that they don't have any data of Agapito Flores and he wasn't even in the list of Scientist. At the moment there are coordinating this major update to all History Book manufacturers because the name Agapito Flores is very popular on Philippine History Books. There is a documentary presented on TV regarding this matter. Anyway, just would like to share this info.

wow
The automation is amazing. I can't imagine the amount of work that would go in to designing and building a production line like that.

  It must have taken forever to make all that. I mean they have to get the exact measurements and line everything up right. Its amazing what we can do these days.

Agapito Flores
Re: Agapito Flores, I am a filipino and sad to say that there was a documentary presented on TV back in the Philippines stating that Agapito Flores the guy all pinoys are proud of doesn't exist. Even the association of Pinoy Scientist made it clear that they don't have Agapito Flores on their list. And at the moment all history books are being updated for this major update. Really a sad story because I myself can't believe the fact that Agapito Flores is no less than a myth.

- You dont need to post the same thing
  By posting this again, I feel obligated to post something again too. Im Filipino and Agapito Flores was my Great Great Uncle and he did exist, and again I dont know if he invented it or not, but I do like to believe he did.
  
  But by saying he didnt exist your saying my cousins dont exist. So Im just saying he did exist.

funny and interesting

Never knew David Schwimmer knew so much about making lightbulbs. lol (sounds like him) but man Where are these factories at? Did u see that huge ferris wheel they use to check each bulb. If you spun it faster you'd have a club-like strobe effect. ha!

- Flores
  The flourescent lamp was invented prior to Agapito Flores' time, and the word "flourescent" predates him by a considerable time. He was a man of achievements, but the flourescent lamp was not one of them.
