Helium, neon, argon and krypton are the gases used in the light bulbs. Argon is a commonly used gas used to fill incandescent light bulbs. It increases bulb life by preventing the tungsten filaments from deteriorating too quickly. Other gases such as helium, neon, nitrogen and krypton are also used in lighting. read more

Usually gases like Argon and other inert gases are used in bulbs because of their property of low reactivity. Sometimes, even Nitrogen is used, although it is not an inert gas, but is chemically inactive when present in its diatomic state (N2). These are used to prevent the oxidation of the filament in the bulb. read more
