A little video I made showing the process of two things:
1) Creating a simple bulb image in Photoshop.
2) Animating that bulb image (with a little actionscript) to add a dim out/brighten up effect on mouse over/mouse out.

The code on frame 1 in the "actionscript" layer:

stop();

var changeFrameBy:int = 0;

backBulb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, posDir);
backBulb.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, negDir);

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveFrame);

function posDir(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	changeFrameBy = 1;
}

function negDir(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	changeFrameBy = -1;
}

function moveFrame(event:Event):void
{
	if ((currentFrame > 0) && (currentFrame <= 30)
		&& (changeFrameBy < 0))
	{
		gotoAndStop(currentFrame + changeFrameBy);
	}
	
	if ((currentFrame >= 0) && (currentFrame < 30)
		&& (changeFrameBy > 0))
	{
		gotoAndStop(currentFrame + changeFrameBy);
	}
}
