On a standard incandescent light bulb, the glass traps a set of gases around the filament that help keep the filament from burning up quickly.
(The filament is the part that does the actual glowing inside the glass.)
It also keeps the oxygen in the air that we breathe away from the filament. Oxygen is one of the gases that will vastly accelerate the destruction of the filament.
(Also, the glass keeps anything from touching the electrical conductors inside.)
The glass can also act as a filter to remove any ultraviolet radiation caused by certain types of light bulb's ("lamp's" technically) methods of creating a arc to produce light.
When specially teated, the glass can also be used to break up the light rays to cause more diffused source of light. (Think "Soft White" to get an idea.)

Function of filament?
A filament is a thin rod like long structure usually cylinderical in shape i.e. open at both ends.
What is the function of the stamen in a flower?
The stamen is the male reproductive part of the flower and it consists of the filament and the anther. The filament is a structure that attaches to the base of the flower and supports the anther. This structure produces pollen.

What protein is not in thin filament?
Myosin is a protein that is not found in the thin filament. Myosin is a motor protein that is primarily found in the thick filament of muscle cells and is responsible for muscle contraction. The thin filament contains proteins such as actin, tropomyosin, and troponin.

What is a filament of a flower used for?
The filament of a flower is part of the stamen, the male reproductive organ. Its main function is to support the anther, which is where pollen is produced. The filament helps position the anther so that it can release pollen effectively for pollination.
What is the function of filaments?
providing structure support and involved in movement.
