That depends on the type of light bulb in question. Traditional incandescent light bulbs have four main pairs:

The filament, which glows and emits light, when electricity runs through it;

The inert gas, which keeps the filament from burning;

The outer casing, which keeps the inert gas in place; and,

The electrical connection, which screws into the socket to provide electricity.
