No halogen gas has a mass of under 15 atomic mass units. The closest is fluorine, at 19.0 atomic mass units.
A halogen bulb is a traditional tungsten filament bulb filled with a noble gas that gives off a soft, yellowish light. In a metal halide bulb, the light emitted is bright white or even bluish. They have a longer life than halogen bulbs, but their brightness can diminish over time.
There are two gases in fluorine(Halogen) family, which are Fluorine and Chlorine. In some cases bromine can also be included as a gas.
A noble gas.
Chlorine belongs to the halogen family of gases. It is highly reactive and can be found as a diatomic molecule in its gaseous state.
A halogen lamp produces light by passing electricity through a tungsten filament enclosed in a bulb containing halogen gas. This process generates a significant amount of heat due to the high operating temperature needed to sustain the halogen cycle, where tungsten evaporates and is redeposited on the filament.
There are two types of lamps the tungsten halogen lamps and incandescent lamps. Tungsten Halogen Lamps are similar to incandescent lamps and produce light in the same manner from a tungsten filament; however the bulb contains a halogen gas (bromine or iodine) which is active in controlling tungsten evaporation, whereas the incandescent lamp suppresses tungsten evaporation.
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
Halogen.
Halogen is a gas, so your question doesn't make much sense. If you're asking about a halogen (light) bulb, then the answer is: mainly halogen.
One of the problems all incandescent lamps have is evaporation/sublimation of the filament. You might have a hard time imagining a metal like tungsten becoming vapor, but it does, its slow but the filament does turn to vapor. In ordinary lamps this hot tungsten vapor condenses out on the cool glass envelope, darkening it. The filament slowly gets thinner too and as it does some parts begin to thin faster, those parts get hotter causing the tungsten to evaporate faster making them thin even faster. Eventually some part of the filament gets too thin and the lamp burns out.In a halogen lamp part of the fill gas of the lamp is a halogen (e.g. chlorine, bromine). Metal vapor and the halogen gas react, creating a metal halide gas. High temperature breaks down this metal halide gas, depositing the metal and reforming the original halogen gas (the catalyst). As the highest temperature in the lamp is on the filament (with the hottest parts of the filament being the thinnest), the tungsten is deposited right back on the filament where it came from (with more of it being deposited on those parts that are thinnest, thus patching them back up). Thus since the filament in a halogen lamp thins much much more slowly (and is self patching when spots thin faster, instead of running away and thinning even faster) than that in an ordinary lamp it takes much longer before it burns out.
Argon is a noble gas. It is not a halogen. Fluorine is a example for that.

That'd be Halogen.
Iodine is the halogen that sublimes directly from a solid to a gas at standard pressure and temperature.
A halogen lamp is an incandescent lamp with a tungsten filament contained within an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen such as iodine or bromine.More detailsA special physical feature is exploited in halogen lamps: when small amounts of a halogen gas were added to the contents of a normal incandescent light bulb, these were found to help to return large quantities of evaporated tungsten atoms back to the filament.This treatment results in a significantly longer lifetime of such lamps.Additionally it has the benefit that halogen light bulbs can be operated at a higher temperature than can be used for ordinary light bulbs. This results in less heat production compared to light output and an overall much higher efficiency in the conversion of the energy input (electrical energy) to the energy output as light.General note about how all incandescent filament light bulbs operateAn electrical current travelling through the filament of a light bulb makes it glow white-hot and generate both light and heat because of the electrical resistance of the filament.The filament is normally mounted within a special mixture of noble and/or inert gases held inside the glass enclosure of the light bulb, held at a pressure which is close to a vacuum.The special mixture of gases prevents the filament from oxidizing and burning away, which would happen extremely quickly if it glowed white-hot in normal air which contains oxygen.
