The way an electric tube, or fluorescent, light works is really very interesting. Most "regular" light bulbs are incandescent. Their source of light is the glow of electricity passing through a very thin wire known as a filament that is suspended in a vacuum. It glows with a "warm" color in the yellow/orange range. With a fluorescent tube there are two filaments, but they do not directly provide the light source, and a Mercury vapor instead of a vacuum.
On each end of a long glass tube are coils using electricity regulated by a ballast. The tube is filled with mercury vapor and phosphor. The electricity passing through the filaments excites the mercury vapor causing it to glow with ultraviolet (black) light. Ultraviolet light is not visible, but it does cause cause certain chemicals and colors to glow or fluoresce. If you take laundry detergent with phosphorous in it, for example, and place it under an ultraviolet (black) light, the phosphorus glows cold white. So by adding Phosphorus to the tube of Mercury vapor it will also glow when the vapor is excited electrically.
The result is a lot of light for a much lower amount of electricity, and excess heat. The color temperature is very close to that of daylight but a little cooler, in the blue/green range. That makes growing plants under fluorescent light more effective also. The negatives are that most "tube lights" can not be dimmed with a wall dimmer-switch, and the ballasts, that controls electrical flow, do have a tendency to burn out or fail after a time.

A tube light uses a condenser which is the old term for a capacitor. It functions as a small battery in a circuit.

Venturi tube is used to for flow measurement. It work on the principle of Bernoulli Equation.
Fluorescent lights glow because of an electric discharge in a glass tube that causes mercury atoms to emit ultraviolet light. The inside of the tube is coated with phosphor, which absorbs the ultraviolet light and then re-emits visible light.

An arc lamp is a general term for a class of lamps that uses an electric arc or voltage arc to create light. You've seen the bright light given off by electric arc welding, and the idea of the electric arc is the principle behind an arc lamp.
Light from a electric bulb is generated when the negative & positive prongs inside generate a spark upon touching creating light.
In order to make neon light, You fill a glass tube with neon, and trace other substances for color, then you run an electric current through it
used as filling for fluorescent lamps, electric light bulbs, incandescent lamps and for vacuum tube.
