Electricity although not known as it is known today was used for many reasons for example ancient Greek Gods temples has rods to "collect the lightning from the sky" or as said above the "Baghdad batteries" whose use is still unknown (sadly it was lost during the looting of Baghdad post the American invasion) Also ancient Egyptians in their wall writing have suggested the possible use of electricity.

There is of course many others. Many that came before us have made huge scientific advances and when you read about the history of the world you realize that no matter how "High-Tech" we think we are people who came before us were still smarter.

Electric light (note not bulb) was invented with the discovery of electricity.

However this is debatable as electricity and the bulb has older origins.
