It's a bulb with more blue light in it, to better match the light that natural sunlight emits.
The fluorescent light bulb more efficiently converts electricity to light resulting in less heat produced. But in winter, heat being produced is not exactly a bad thing. Besides, fluorescent light bulbs are more expensive and have heavy metals in them, making them more toxic.
The weight of one 8 foot fluorescent light bulb is 1.2 pounds. Fluorescent light bulbs are available in many colors and color temperatures.
Fluorescent bulbs generate light by using an ionized gas and electrical discharge, whereas regular light bulbs generate light by using heat within the filament contained in the bulb.
352 There are six different types of light bulbs invented as of December 27, 2012. They include the incandescent light bulb, the halogen light bulb, the fluorescent light bulb, the high-density discharge lamps, LEDs, and sodium lamps.
Fluorescent light bulbs are extremely long-lasting. Most are designed to last over 10,000 hours. This comes out to approximately 416 days of continuous 24 hour usage. Even if used only 8 hours/day, the average fluorescent bulb should last over 3 years.

EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
A fluorescent bulb
fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
Perhaps you are asking about fluorescent lamp. This is an electrical device that uses a fluorescent bulb to give off light. The bulb is a recent invention designed to give energy savings in the residential area. The fluorescent bulb used to be used exclusively in industrial applications, but the new bulb is small and compact enough to be used in a home lamp.
The brightest compact fluorescent bulb is of over 100 lumens or higher outputs at higher drive currents.
The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
I need to buy another fluorescent light bulb at the hardware store
If a fluorescent lamp is labeled 6500 oK that is the color temperature of the light it emits. <><><> The number 6500 refers to the temperature (measured in degrees Kelvin) at which a specific theoretical material (referred to as "black body") will glow the color of sunlight at noon.
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.
