What is a t12 bulb?
In fluorescent tubes the number represents the diameter of the tube. The tubes are measures in 1/8ths of an inch. T8 would be 8/8ths or 1 inch. T5 would be 5/8ths of an inch. Older fixtures took T12 which would be 12/8ths or 1.5 inches.
Quicksilver used in fluorescent light tubes?
"Quicksilver" is an older name for the element mercury, which is used in fluorescent tubes. The average Compact Fluorescent Tube (CFT) contains 4 mg Hg. By comparison the old 48" tube contains 10-25 mg Hg in vapour and liquid form.
Which produces more lumens 1-250watt Halogen or 2-39W T5 Fluorescent bulbs?
250W tungsten halogen gives around 10,000 lumen. 2 x 39W T5 fluorescents gives a total of between 4,000 to 6,000 lumen.
What effects do compact fluorescent bulbs have on computers?
None or a negligible effect. Similarly to incandescent or fluorescent tubes, they light up your work area so you can see what you're doing at the computer.
Can we use fluorescent lamp in dc?
Yes, fluorescent lamps may be powered by DC but they need a DC lamp controller instead of an AC ballast and starter. The DC lamp controller is more complex. I have a 12V lantern with fluorescent lamp tubes.
What is the difference in the t8 and the t5 lightning fixtures?
I will assume you mean fluorescent tubes They are different caps

What is a pin based fluorescent light fixture?
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.
What advantages do fluorescent tubes have over incandescent bulbs?
Fluorescent tubes last longer and supply more light per watt of energy consumed than an incandescent bulb.
What are the different gases introduced into fluorescent lamps that give them their specific colors?
I think that you may be confusing fluorescent tubes with neon tubes. Fluorescent tubes use a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp which is in a limited spectrum. Some tubes are cool white, warm white, and daylight. There is also a gro lux which is on the warm end of the spectrum used for growing indoor plants.
Where were T5 fluorescent lights designed in the 1990s?
The standard T5 lamp was developed in Europe several years ago, and then introduced to the North American market in 1996. In 1998 t5 HO was introduced in North America. It offers about twice the lumen output in the same length.
What uses ultraviolet light?
sterilizations of equipment and the fluorescent tubes
Is plasma in lightning?

Beams of electrons that shine on fluorescent materials are used in?
Cathode ray tubes.
