step 1 of 3

Traced edges of the light bulb with pen tool, then stroked path with brush having these settings: diameter 30, opacity 0.
Repeted on different layers, with differrent setting of brush, then moved each stroke, few pixels.
To give the effect of glowing, in blending option, i applied Outer Glow and Inner Glow with different colors, and copyed the layer style to all stroked path.
