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 !)

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.
Fuse is used to restrict the flow of current to the tube when it is supplied with very high voltage. Due to high voltage the tube may burst and even the electrical apparatus goes malfunctioning. Hence a resistor is used in the name of FUSE in the fluorescent lamp to prevent this sudden loss of the apparatus.
In order to know why fluorescent bulbs turn black at the end, you need to understand how they work. Basically, when you turn on the lighht switch, the ballast sends a spark through the mercury-vapor-filled tube or bulb, depending on design. When it does this, it creates light by activating phosphors that coat the inside of the tube. Well each time the ballast fires, it creates emissions. These emissins materials then settle on the surface inside the glass. After awhile this material piles up. When it does this, the tube end turns completely black. Not only does the tube end turn black, but the accumulated materials pile up so high that it blocks the electrons that flow into the mercury. When this happens, you will notice the bulb or tube flicker heavily and then burn out.
The inductance primarily serves to limit current flow to the correct level for the tube. It also can be used during startup to provide an inductive 'kick' forming a higher-voltage pulse to start the lamp.
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.

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.

If it's fluorescent, no.
Usually it's mercury vapor.

A fluorescent tube will flicker is the temperature is cold or the fixture has a bad ground to the electrical system.
