The fluorescent light was first introduced for commercial use at the 1939 World's Fair in New York City.
While these fluorescent light bulb technologies were being developed many years before by mostly researchers and inventors at the General Electric Corporation, no wide-scale manufacturing of the fluorescent fixture, the device that makes it possible to power the light bulb, had taken place until 1940 when three (3) corporations emanated from the New York City region and became the dominate makers of the fixture throughout the United States in years to come. The three were, Lightolier & Artcraft Fluorescent Lighting Corporation, and Globe Lighting.
Although General Electric, Sylvania, and Westinghouse were clear leaders in bulb technology, keeping with verity of the times, the co-founder of Artcraft Fluorescent Lighting, Mr. Louis Levy, was one of the pioneers in the manufacturing processes of the fixture. During the 1950s, the fluorescent light bulb and fixture outsold traditional lighting more than any other time in our history. And since that time, countless manufacturers around the globe make various fixtures styles although General Electric, and other major corporations remain the leaders in bulb sales. No other wide-scale major developments have taken place since 1939 in lighting technology until recently, in the 1990s, when (LEDs), a newer technology, became widely available.
The fluorescent light bulb was introduced in 1938.
The fluorescent light was invented in 1903 by Peter Cooper Hewitt. Peter Cooper Hewitt was an inventor and an electrical engineer.
Fixtures for fluorescent bulbs, which were introduced in 1938 and were more energy-efficient than previous bulbs, became the emphasis of the industry by the 1950s.
The first viable & practical fluorescent light was sold in 1938. The fluorescent became common place in the 1940s and was used in medicine cabinet lighting.
Fluorescent materials are used in illumination, displaying, solid state lasers,light communication,light memory and so on.
Fluorescent light fixtures are generally used in the kitchen, probably due to the efficiency of energy use of the flourescent lights, but they can be mounted practically everywhere.
Fluorescent or incandescent.
Depending on the size of the light and how it is used, a fluorescent light can have a lifespan of anywhere from 8,000 to 30,000 hours. Fluorescent lights tend to lose their brightness over time, so it is recommended to change the light bulb before it burns out completely.

If you mean which other element is used in a fluorescent light along with argon then the answer is xenon.
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb

Nitrogen
mercury
its used in fluorescent light bulbs and krypton-fluoride lasers
Fluorescent or incandescent.
Well.. the difference is that fluorescent light isn't natural and natural light isn't fluorescent . its not rocket science (:
There is no fluorescent light bulb that is better then any other. That is why they are suggested to be used since they have no different objects.
