Usually tungsten.
Tungsten
Electricity creates heat when flowing through a resistor such as the filament in a tungsten light bulb, and, since the heat can not be readily conducted away in the near vacuum inside a light bulb, the heat eventually raises the temperature of the filament to a value that leads to radiation of light from the hot filament.
Light bulb filaments are usually made of tungsten, which has a very high melting point. Occasionally carbon is used as a filament.
Joseph Swan in the period between his early paper ash filament (1860) and the later pyrolysed cotton filament (1975) electric light bulb using better vacuum pumps.
Certain light bulbs are gas filled. Consider Xenon and Neon bulbs. The ideal for a filament bulb is to use a vacuum bulb, however, inert gases can also be used. The point is to avoid the rapid oxidation that occurs at high temperatures in the presence of air.
Tungsten is an element. It is used in bulbs
Usually tungsten.
the filament is the metal peice in a bulb that glows.Tungsten is most often used in a lightbulb.
Tungsten
The bulb and the filament are the two main components of an incandescent light bulb.

Edison perfected the light bulb by refining the filament. He used tungsten
It is used to support the filament assembly.
Usually tungsten.
It won't burn the filament.
If the lighter bulb had oxygen in it , the hot glowing filament would react with the oxygen, thereby destroying the filament. If the filament is destroyed, then there is no light. So an inert gas is used, because it will not react with the heated glowing filament. Hence the filament stays alight.
The original Edison light bulb used a carbon based filament, later a metallic filament (tungsten) was used to increase the life of the bulb. Today the government has mandated that a fluorescent type bulb be used
