filament lamps have a wire with high resistance, meaning that electricity doesn't pass through it well. As the current passes through the filament the wire gets hot and glows, giving off light and heat. Since the wire is in a vacuum sealed bulb there is no oxygen so the filament doesn't burn up.
neon is a gas that "fluoresces" (gives off light) when an electric charge is passed through it. a neon light has a tube filled with neon and in either end is an anode. the transformer and capacitor build up a charge of electricity that zaps from one end to the other and as it passes through the gas, about 60 times per second, it causes the gas to emit light, but not much heat.

Which gas present in bulb?
Gas is not used to make light bulbs emit light. What happens is that the wire is really thin so the electrons come across high resistance and become very hot, therefore creating light. However low pressure inert gases such as argon, neon or nitrogen are used inside the light bulb to keep it safe, and stop an explosion.
Which type of lamp has the highest inrush current between halogen neon incandescent and low-pressure sodium?
Halogen lamps typically have the highest inrush current among the options mentioned. This is because they contain a tungsten filament that has a lower resistance when cold, causing a surge in current when first turned on. Neon, incandescent, and low-pressure sodium lamps have lower inrush currents compared to halogen lamps.
What else can the element neon is used in everyday life?
Neon can be used to light neon signs and to light glow lamps. :)
What property of neon makes it possible to be used in electric lamps?
Which property of neon makes it possible to be used in electric lamps
What are some practical uses for neon?
Uses for neon gas include lighting up neon glow lamps and electric tubes. Neon is classified as a noble gas.
Does neon use xenon in it?
I guess the question is related to neon lamps rather than element neon. Neon lamps do use xenon gas it it. By varying the composition of gases used, the colour given out by the neon lamps can be changed.
Why is neon used in signboards?
Neon lamps are red.

What are the different types of light?
Incandescent Lamps Light Emitting Diode Neon Lamps Fluorescent Tubes Compact Fluorescent Lamps Halogen Lamps Metal Halide Lamps High Intensity Discharge Lamps Low Pressure Sodium Lamps High Pressure Sodium Lamps
What are the uses for element neon?
it is used in neon discharge lamps and neon signs.

Can LED lights be neon lights at the same time, or are neon lights different?
Neon lamps and neon signs are NOT incandescent. The gas is not glowing because it is hot, but because it is ionized, and the current is passing through it. this is the web where I read about neon lights. createneon
What different things can you do with neon sign equipment?
- Red billboards - Red bulbs for electronics - Red warning lamps
Gas used in luminous signs?
The gas used in fluorescent lamps is argon. Neon is used for red lamps.
What type of light build glows when a filament inside it gets hot?
Electric lamps having incandescent filaments.
Do lava lamps contain neon gas?
Yes, the bright colors are from neon (Ne)
What are the uses for argon?
fills light bulbs and incandescent lamps to protect the filament
