Nitrogen, along with argon, krypton, and other gases, is used in a light bulb to cause the avoidance of contact with oxygen, which would serve to burn away the filament. Also, the presence of some gas, as opposed to there just being a vacuum, serves to conduct heat away from the filament, extending its life.
