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.

"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.
A fluorescent tube will flicker is the temperature is cold or the fixture has a bad ground to the electrical system.
The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.

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.
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.

Conduction works quite well in the gas inside a fluorescent light tube.
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.

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.
