The hot filament of a light bulb would quickly burn away if it came in contact with oxygen from the air. Argon is inert and so will not react with the filament, even at extremely high temperatures.
Argon does not react. :)

Light bulbs are filled with argon instead of air because argon is an inert gas that helps prevent the filament from oxidizing and burning out quickly. Air contains oxygen, which can cause the filament to degrade faster due to oxidation. Argon creates a more stable environment inside the bulb, prolonging the life of the filament.
Yes, argon is a gas that makes up approximately 0.93% of Earth's atmosphere and is found in dry air.
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.
1% of the air is argon cool air to -300F it will be the only gas left
The gas in a light bulb is Argon
There is about 1% of argon gas in all the air around us. They extract the argon by turning air into liquid and then using a process for argon.
Mixture of argon gas and Mercury gas.
