The most common gas to fill light bulbs with is a mixture of Argon (~93%) - which makes up about 1% of the atmosphere and is inert, and Nitrogen (~7%) - which is about 78% of the atmosphere and which makes the gas mixture less conductive to prevent arcing. Some specialty bulb use pure nitrogen, pure krypton, krypton/xenon mixture, or vacuum (no gas at all).
