It is ironic that an "innovation" as iconic as the invention of the light bulb should be so shrouded in authorship controversy.

Contrary to popular belief, the first electric light was made, not by Thomas Alva Edison, but by the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan. Swan had been determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England.

It wasn't until the following year (on 21 October 1879) that the US inventor Thomas Alva Edison, having experimented with thousands of different options, was able to demonstrate that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. By the end of 1880, having tested thousands more filaments, he had produced a 16 watt bulb that could last for 1,500 hours. He began to market his new invention ... and the rest, as they say, is history.

The innovator is only rarely also the winner in the marketplace. The idea alone is never enough.

Shipping & Returns

We ship from REMO in Bondi. However, just about everything bearing a design is now printed to order and shipped from a production facility in Victoria. This new process takes a little longer, but the wait is worthwhile. For Regular Shipping orders, it takes roughly 7 to 15 business days to custom print and deliver your order using Australia Post. Some places outside metropolitan areas may take a bit longer. Need them a bit faster? Select the Express delivery option and we will use that method of shipping, although this will not speed the production process itself.Please note that international orders may be subject to additional customs fees and duties, which are the responsibility of the customer.CustOMERs can return or exchange for any reason whatsoever. Please just send the items back to us at PO Box 7488 Bondi Beach 2026 in the original packaging with clear exchange or return instructions.Having said this, all REMO merchandise bearing designs is now custom made to order. We do not operate a physical store and have no use for returned t shirts. Therefore, we would ask you then to please be very careful with T Shirt size selection. There is a table on every T Shirt product page that sets out relatively exact measurements for both width and length of the various sizes. If you have a T Shirt you like and a ruler near by, you should be able to work out your size. Also, AS Colour is a relatively well known brand, especially in the Australian market, so many of you would already know your size for that brand.
