Neon, obviously. Less obviously: the only true neon lights are those that give off an orange-red glow. Other colors result from other gases; for example, argon is used to give a blue color. Nowadays most "neon" lamps are really Mercury vapor fluorescent lamps with tinted glass providing the color. A real neon light is almost always clear when turned off; the mercury vapor ones have a sort of cloudy appearance like other fluorescent bulbs.

- helium
- neon
- argon
- krypton
- xenon
Some contain small amounts of radioactive tritium gas to help them ionize rapidly so they can light up fast.
