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.

∙ 14y agoWhich one? Ordinary filament lamps - GLS are nitrogen-filled. Halogen filament lamps are usually filled with nitrogen plus a trace of bromine. Xenon filament lamps are filled with xenon, etc etc etc Domestic fluorescent lamps are filled with Mercury vapour and usually an inert gas. Discharge lamps are filled with gas mixtures specific to the lamp design and principle of operation.

I dont think it is gas It is electricity.
Edit: Usually a halogen, the most common being Neon.

What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
Why do bulb filament not burn?
The filament does not "burn", it just glows brightly. If some air were present in the bulb - as sometimes happens if a light bulb gets knocked and gets even a tiny crack in its glass bulb - then the oxygen present in ordinary air will quickly make the filament burn away.For more information see the answer to the Related question sghown below.

What stops the filament in a light bulb from Catching Fire?
For the filament tocatch fire you need to have oxygen present so depending on the type of light bulb it may be a vacuum inside or have some sort of inert gas inside that is not oxygen.
How is the gas thermometer made in physic?
A gas thermometer is a device that measures temperature by the variation in volume or pressure of a gas. It is made by filling a bulb with gas such that the volume of the gas in the bulb remains constant.
