Gas in some glow lamps (4)

I believe the answer is:

neon

(Other definitions for neon that I've seen before include "It may illuminate" , "Gas used in fluorescent lighting" , "Gas used in fluorescent lamps" , "Element 10, used in lights" , "Inert gas, symbol Ne" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
