The strip of material that glows inside a light bulb is called the filament. It is usually made of tungsten and emits light when an electric current passes through it, heating it to a high temperature, causing it to glow and produce visible light. The filament is a crucial component in incandescent light bulbs, which have been widely used for many years, although more energy-efficient lighting technologies, such as LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs, are becoming increasingly popular

What combinations of light and hues make fluorescent colors?

You cannot make fluorescent colours simply by mixing any coloured paints. Fluorescent paints are fluorescent because they contain a substance that fluoresces. This means that the substance absorbs light or heat and then readmits it at a different wavelength (usually in the visible light range) when its atoms are excited. Such a substance is fluorescein, a fluorescent dye. Fluorescence is used in strip lighting where a substance called phosphor, which coats the inside of the tube, and which glows when subjected to fluorescent mercury vapour which is in the tube. Another substance, phenyl oxalate ester, glows in light sticks. Therefore, you can mix different colours as much as you wish, but they will never fluoresce unless the particular fluorescent substance is included with the paint pigment in the paint.
