Gas in bright lights (4)

I believe the answer is:

neon

(Other definitions for neon that I've seen before include "illuminating agent" , "Gaseous element, in advertising signs, say" , "Gas used in fluorescent lights" , "None (anag.)" , "Could it brighten proceedings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
