Me ka ulu wikiwiki o ka hoʻokele waiwai kanaka, e lilo ana nā kukui o ke kūlanakauhale i ʻoi aku ka mālamalama.Me he mea lā e emi ana ka poʻe e hoʻohana i nā kukui uila.Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā kukui uila ke kōkua iā mākou e neʻe kūʻokoʻa i ka wā e hana ana mākou i ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i ka home, i ka manawa ʻeleʻele i kekahi manawa, ke piʻi mākou i ke kuahiwi a nānā i ka puka ʻana o ka lā i ka pō.Aia kekahi mau ʻoihana kūikawā e pono ai nā kukui uila, e like me ka palekana, ka pūʻali koa a me nā mākaʻi mākaʻi, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, me ka kaulana nui o nā hana waho, ua lilo nā huakaʻi hoʻomoana i ka leʻaleʻa o nā kānaka he nui i ka pō, a me ka mālamalama mai ua lilo ke kukui uila i mea nui.

Mai nā lama, nā kukui, nā kukui aila, nā kukui kinoea a hiki i ka hana a Edison i ka ʻōpuʻu kukui, ʻaʻole i hoʻōki ke kanaka i ka makemake i ka mālamalama, ua ʻimi i ka mālamalama o ka ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana.A ʻo ka hoʻomohala lōʻihi o ka ʻoihana kukui uila ke ʻike pū nei i ka hoʻoilina a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka hanauna i kēlā me kēia hanauna, i kēia mau makahiki lōʻihi o ka mōʻaukala, he aha ka mea i ʻike ʻia e ke kukui uila?E nānā kākou i kēia manawa!

I ka makahiki 1877, ua hana ʻo Edison i ke kukui uila, e lawe mai ana i ke kukui wela i ke kanaka.I ka makahiki 1896, e hoʻi ana kekahi ʻAmelika ʻo Hubert kona inoa i ka home mai ka hana ʻana i ka wā i hālāwai ai ʻo ia me kahi hoaaloha nāna i kono iā ia i ka home e hauʻoli i kahi mea hoihoi.E ʻike wale, ua hana mua ka hoa i kahi ipu pua ʻālohilohi: ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka ipu pua hoa ma lalo o kahi puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi, a ʻo nā pā liʻiliʻi i ka wā e hoʻopili ai i ke au, hoʻopuka nā ʻōpuʻu kukui i ke kukui ʻālohilohi a ʻike ʻia ke kukui melemele haʻalulu piha i nā pua pua. He nani loa ka helehelena, no laila, i ka wā e ʻālohi koke ai ʻo Hubert i ke aloha me ka ipu pua.Pīhoihoi a hoʻoulu ʻia ʻo Hubert e ka ipu pua ʻālohilohi.Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Hubert e hoʻokomo i ka ʻōpuʻu a me ka pākaukau i loko o kahi pahu liʻiliʻi, a ua hana ʻia ke kukui uila uila mua loa o ka honua.
