yes he did
Well.. the difference is that fluorescent light isn't natural and natural light isn't fluorescent . its not rocket science (:
light bulb
No, he did not invent the light bulb.
Light in fluorescent bulbs occurs when electricity excites the mercury vapor inside the tubular glass bulb.
Indoor fluorescent light is not as bright as sunlight, and it is usually not exactly the same color (although there are different types of fluorescent tubes that produce different colors, some of which are extremely close to sunlight).

Peter Cooper Hewitt patented the first prototype of the fluorescent light bulb in 1901. It was a mercury vapor lamp.
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.

Agapito Flores was a Filipino who invented the first FLUORESCENT light bulb. Edward E. Hammer invented the compact fluorescent light bulb only. He did not invent alternating current.In the Philippines it is traditional to believe that the fluorescent lamp was invented by Benigno Flores from Cepoc, Cebu City, Philippines. The idea is that the lamp was named after Flores but this is untrue, as is discussed in the First Related Link shown below this answer.The scientific discoveries and technical developments leading up to the first practical fluorescent lamp occurred over a period of decades in the 19th and early 20th centuries.As a result, it is difficult to name a single inventor but, if patents mean anything, we could suggest Peter Cooper Hewitt.Some of those who contributed (in no particular order):George Gabriel StokesHeinrich GeisslerWilliam CrookesDaniel McFarlan MoorePeter Cooper Hewitt, patented (U.S. patent 889,692) the first mercury vapor lamp in 1901.Edmund GermerGeorge InmanRichard Thayer.There is a useful reference on this topic in the Second Related Link shown below this answer.For more information see the Related Links and the answers to the Related Questions, which are all shown below.
Anything that excites the gas in a fluorescent will make it light. Static electricity from the carpet will cause compact fluorescent to light.
Which state helps produce light in fluorescent lightbulbs?

The tube light was invented by Peter Cooper Hewitt, Edmund Germer,George Inman and Richard Thayer. Thomas Doolittle developed hard-drawn copper wire.
No it does not

Fluorescent light replacement is easy as replacing light bulbs. Slowly twist the fluorescent until the lead of each end aligned to the path of ejection/insertion. Or just simply stretch both end of fluorescent ballast then remove/insert the fluorescent light.
