Daylight Fluorescent lamps have bluish-white illuminance, whereas coolwhite fluorescent lamps have yellowish-white illuminance.
Daylight will have a more complete spectrum. An interesting experiment is to hold a CD close to a fluorescent lamp. The CD will act as a primitive diffraction grating, and you'll see distinct blobs of colour - not a continuous rainbow spectrum. You're seeing the light emitted by the various phosphors in the fluorescent tube.
No.
For most purposes fluorescent is better; they convert a greater percentage of electricity to light, and thus have less losses.

The light from a "Daylight" type looks brighter to the eye than "Warm White". The "Daylight" type is supposed to make colors of things (clothes, furniture, etc.) look more natural, as if they were outside in daylight. The "Warm White" type is supposed to be more restful for our eyes when we have to live or work for long periods using artificial lighting. It also is supposed to look more like the light from conventional incandescent filament lamps.
yes; under fluorescent lighting, blue colors will be accented. colors appear quite different in sunlight
In general, daylight provides a more full-spectrum and balanced light source, allowing for a wider range of colors to be seen accurately. This is because daylight is close to the light spectrum of sunlight, which is considered to be a neutral white light. The color temperature of daylight is approximately 5500K, which is close to the standard used in color-critical work, such as photography and printing. On the other hand, fluorescent lighting often has a greenish or bluish tint, which can shift the appearance of colors. Fluorescent lighting is often lower in color temperature and can have a noticeable color cast. Additionally, older fluorescent lights can flicker, causing a strobing effect that can be distracting and make it difficult to see accurate color. In conclusion, while both daylight and fluorescent lighting can provide adequate illumination, daylight is typically the preferred light source for color-critical work, as it provides a more accurate representation of color.
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.
One source with good information about daylight bulbs is eHow. From eHow you can learn about the three types of daylight bulbs - incandescent, energy saving, and fluorescent tubes - and what each type is good for. You can also visit a local hardware store such as Home Depot to compare different models of bulbs.
I did a quick search and discovered they come in a range of wattage from 15W to 70W - see related link for an example of one supplier (there were thousands listed when I searched for the product !)
The lights were very fluorescent.
Yes, lamp is to fluorescent
An Ott light is a proprietary fluorescent bulb and/or lamp which produces something approaching a natural daylight spectrum. (See http://www.ott-lite.com/Cms/home.aspx.) Professional photographers often use them as a daylight standard for proofing their prints. It is also said to have some health benefits (reducing eyestrain, seasonal affective disorder, etc.).
