Louis-Joseph Deleuil
Louis-Joseph Deleuil (born April 7, 1795 in Aix-en-Provence , † August 9, 1862 in Paris ) was a French scientist who was one of the pioneers of electric lighting. Together with Henri Adolphe Archereau , he experimented with carbon arc lamps between 1841 and 1844 . They also illuminated the Place de la Concorde in Paris, and the burning carbon rods had to be readjusted by hand. Later he constructed, among other things, an air pump and carried out experiments with dry ice.
