six main component of fluorescent tube light
A four tube fluorescent luminaire is just 4 separate fluorescent lamp circuits in one fitting. Look up 'how things work' etc to see a fluorescent lamp circuit.
No, incandescent and fluorescent bulbs do not produce the same amount of heat.

No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
Yes. They're cool compared to incandescent bulbs of the same light output, but they do produce some heat.
Not in the way that an incandescent bulb does. A fluorescent lamp uses electricity to excite the particles of mercury vapor in the tube. This excited gas causes a phosphor to glow.

One has to specify the size and therefore the watt usage of each type or the light output desired to compare them. Fluorescent tube lights range from 5 to 80 watts including losses in the ballast. Compact fluorescent bulbs range from 7 to over 30 watts in usage with the included ballast. LED's don't have nearly the same light output each, so you need a bunch of them to match output, but if matched use lower wattage because of low heat loss. Once you define the wattage, the total power is in watt-hours or kilowatt hours or some other conversion value.

When fluorescent tubes become dark on the end where they join the socket , it is time to replace them. You are not getting full light output from the tube, but the ballast is still drawing the same power as it would for a new tube.

A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.
