The traditional bulb contains a thin wire(AKA filament) that gives off light(and heat) when it's heated white hot by a current passing through it. If you were to do this in ordinary atmosphere the filament would simply burn off. But if you put the filament either in vacuum or in a non-reactive atmosphere it can glow w/o burning.
