Why do you need to have the glass on the outside of a light bulb?
The glass envelope, or bulb, of an incandescent light bulb is needed to hold the inert gas, such as argon, that fills the space. The filament of a light bulb is made of tungsten wire. When electricity passes through it the filament becomes extremely hot and emits light. The inert gas surrounding the filament protects it from evaporating too quickly. A light bulb only lasts as long as its filament lasts.
