French inventor Philippe Lebon (b. May 29, 1767, Brachay, France - d. December 2, 1804, Paris, France) was granted a patent for his “Thermo-lampe,” a system which used coal gas for heating and lighting.
Gas lighting was pioneered by French chemist and civil engineer Philippe Lebon who developed methods for producing inflammable gas from wood. Lebon would make important contributions to the theory of gas lighting and would foresee most nineteenth century uses of illuminating gas.
