A tungsten bulb is a common lightbulb, the fillamint in a bulb is the small wire in the middle that's drawn across the two contacts. This wire provides an electrical resistance and heats up and this generates light.
In a common lightbulb all the air must be taken out and replaced with an inert gas to stop the tungsten fillament burning away.

What element is in an incondescent light bulb filament?
Tungsten.
What is the direncence between a light bulb and a tungsten light bulb?
Common old-fashioned light bulbs are of the incandescent type (including halogen) with a tungsten filament glowing at about 3000 degrees C emitting black-body radiation (light and heat). Tungsten is used because it has the highest melting-point of all metals. The other type of bulb is fluorescent, of various types like tubes and CFLs
Which element is used in the filaments in incandescent lamps?
Tungsten.More informationExperiments were made with different materials to use as the filament, including natural fibres, pure metals and alloys of different metals, to find the material which had the longest life whilst glowing brightly enough to give out visible light. The metal Tungsten was found to be the best, because of its high melting point (almost 3700 K) and good resistance to electrical current.
What elements comprises a light bulb?
It depends on the type of bulb. Tungsten is the most common element in light bulbs. But there are neon based bulbs also
