Thomas Edison is generally credited with the invention of the commercially viable electrical lamp we are familiar with. He was building on work done by early pioneers, where the conversion of electricity to light was demonstrated in laboratories as early as 1801 by Sir Humphrey Davy who is also credited with the invention of the electric arc lamp.
