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.

What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
What element is in an incondescent light bulb filament?
The filament in an incandescent light bulb is typically made of tungsten. Tungsten is a metal with a high melting point that allows it to produce light and heat when an electric current passes through it.
What is the direncence between a light bulb and a tungsten light bulb?
Common old-fashioned light bulbs are of the incandescent type (including halogen) with a tungsten filament glowing at about 3000 degrees C emitting black-body radiation (light and heat). Tungsten is used because it has the highest melting-point of all metals. The other type of bulb is fluorescent, of various types like tubes and CFLs
What is the metal of a light bulb made of?
The wire inside of an electrical light bulb is called a "filament". The word filament comes from the Latin word "filum" which means "thread". In various fields there are many different types of filaments with different uses, however the ones inside of light bulbs are made out of tungsten and work by super-heating by passing electricity through it.
Can one replace a tungsten bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb?
Yes, if it fits the socket and the light fitting, or lamp fixture, with its cover or shade. You will not be able to dim the compact fluorescent as you did the incandescent (unless you have a really fancy dimmer).
What type of gas is in a tungsten-halogen light bulb?
Halogen gas is in a Tungsten-Halogen Light Bulb.
What is the coating on the inside of a incandesent light bulb?
The coating on the inside of an incandescent light bulb is typically made of tungsten or a tungsten compound. This coating helps to increase the lifespan of the bulb by preventing the tungsten filament from evaporating too quickly.
