A light bulb that uses a filament is also known as an incandescent light bulb.
In an incandescent light bulb the wire that gives off the light is called the Filament.
The filament of a light bulb overs enough resistance to current flow, that the filament heats up so much that it will glow and produce visible light.
filament
light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .
What is Tungsten

filament
Electricity goes through the "electrical foot contact", heats up the wires (connected to the tungsten filament) therefore lighting the light bulb up. The filament is supported by wires. The glass mount holds up the two wires connected to the filament. That is how I think the light bulb works. Have a look.
All kinds of incandescent lamp, and all types of light bulb contains filament. But there are several kinds of filament applied each type of light bulb.

It is the extremely thin wire inside the bulb. It is so thin that when the electricity goes through produce light, when that filament breaks the bulb is not good.
