A fluorescent light bulb contains a gas which produces UV light when it comes in contact with electricity. Contrary to a normal light bulb this does not create any heat and is far more energy efficient.
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
Only if you buy a "full spectrum" of "grow light" type of compact bulb.
The energy saving light-bulbs are usually fluorescent. Neon is a type of fluorescent light bulb.
1857
fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
fluorescent bulbs have mercury in them. There are heaters at the ends of the bulb that vaporizes the mercury to allow the light to be produced ( the fluorescence on the inside of the bulb is what actually glows). If the bulb is cold you do not get the ionization of the mercury to cause the fluorescent powder inside the bulb to glow, or it just glows a small amount.
The flourescent light bulb was invented in 1827.
The long thin light bulb is called a fluorescent tube or a fluorescent light bulb. It is commonly used in commercial buildings, offices, and schools for general lighting purposes.
In a fluorescent light bulb there is usually a drop of mercury. That mercury vaporizes as the bulb warms up and it becomes gaseous, enhancing the electron interaction through the bulb, making it brighter.
The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.
By far the hottest of the two light sources is the light bulb.
