A tungsten bulb is a common lightbulb, the fillamint in a bulb is the small wire in the middle that's drawn across the two contacts. This wire provides an electrical resistance and heats up and this generates light.

In a common lightbulb all the air must be taken out and replaced with an inert gas to stop the tungsten fillament burning away.
