Synopsis

Tracing the fascinating history of human light, from stone lamps to the lightbulb, the story of light is also the story of evolving humanity. The class, social and environmental implications of providing light has shaped historical eras: from crude lamps and tallow candles, to gaslight and incandescent light.
