Illuminating History: The Evolution of Lighting Technology Through the Ages

Have you ever wondered how our ancestors managed their lives after sunset, before the advent of modern lighting? Imagine a world shrouded in darkness once the sun is gone.

Before the creation of artificial illumination, this was the daily reality.

Lighting technology has come a long way since then, and it has shaped human history in many ways.
