No, Argon is the gas which protects us from direct sun-rays.
Because argon is an inert gas; the oxidation of the wolfram filament is not possible in pure argon.
Argon is often used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used in this way in incandescent light bulbs to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs. A low-energy light bulb often contains argon gas and mercury. When it is switched on an electric discharge passes through the gas, generating UV light. The coating on the inside surface of the bulb is activated by the UV light and it glows brightly.
It won't burn the filament.

The gas in a light bulb is Argon
Argon does not react. :)
Mixture of argon gas and Mercury gas.
Argon gas .
argon - inert gas
Incandescent light ,
The kind of gas that is in a light bulb is called Argon.
An energy saving light bulb is simply a fluorescent light-bulb in a small housing with a built in starter . The gas used for it will be the same as a standard strip-light which is a tube filled with low pressure mercuric oxide and an inert gas like Argon Neon or krypton.
No, Argon is the gas which protects us from direct sun-rays.
Apart from being an noble or inert gas it is one of the cheaper gases so therefore reduces the cost that is passed onto the customer.
