Hm a lit lightbulb eh.
It's either complicated, or pretty simple. The simple approch seems to be to apply a material to the bulb, give it a yellow/white-ish colour, and crank up the "self illumination". Then place an omni-light inside the bulb, and presto, all done.
You might want to Exclude the bulb from the omnilight to ensure its light doesn't get trapped inside.

In the Max user help do a search for "Glow" and you should get some info on how to add a glow effect to your lightbulb object.
