Where are fluorescent light fixtures used?
Fluorescent light fixtures are generally used in the kitchen, probably due to the efficiency of energy use of the flourescent lights, but they can be mounted practically everywhere.
Why fluorescent lamps not used on streets?
In colder climates a special ballast and lamps have to be used. These are known as cold start ballasts. The cost is much greater using fluorescent fixtures than HID fixtures and the light output is much less.
How often do fluorescent lights have to be changed?
Depending on the size of the light and how it is used, a fluorescent light can have a lifespan of anywhere from 8,000 to 30,000 hours. Fluorescent lights tend to lose their brightness over time, so it is recommended to change the light bulb before it burns out completely.
Does the shape of a light bulb matter?
It most certainly does. For one, there is the matter of aesthetics. Different shapes are used for different decorative applications. Round ("G" for globular) are often used in light fixtures in baths and dressing rooms as opposed to the most common "PS" or "pear shaped" light bulbs. Some light fixtures and portable lamps will only accept "T" (tubular) light bulbs such as picture and piano lamps. Certain shapes are determined by the electrical characteristics of the light bulb. Fluorescent light bulbs are tubular as a result although the tube may be wrapped or formed into different overall shapes, it is still a tube. Compact fluorescent light bulbs are simply fluorescent tubes that have been folded or wrapped into a compact shape. Light bulbs using reflectors have to be of a certain shape in order to properly reflect light in a certain direction and pattern.
What is the need for fluorescent material?
Fluorescent materials are used in illumination, displaying, solid state lasers,light communication,light memory and so on.

Information on CFL light bulbs?
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light, energy-saving light, and compact fluorescent tube, is a fluorescent lamp designed to replace an incandescent lamp; some types fit into light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps. The lamps use a tube which is curved or folded to fit into the space of an incandescent bulb, and a compact electronic ballast in the base of the lamp.

Hot Trend for Home Offices: Recessed Fluorescent Lighting?
Recessed fluorescent lighting is typically used in areas where indirect light is preferred to reduce glare and other visual disturbances common with the use of fluorescent lighting. This includes offices, classrooms and more recently, home office and workspaces. Fluorescent lights are highly efficient and cost significantly less to operate than traditional incandescent lights. The problem, as mentioned already, is that the use of fluorescents leads to unpleasant effects for some applications. This is why the use of recessed fluorescent lighting has become very popular. With recessed fluorescent lighting, the lighting is indirect. This is an effective way to reduce glare and make the lighting more effective. There are baffles and reflectors that you can install to reduce direct light from recessed fluorescent fixtures as well. When considering recessed fluorescent lighting, you will find that there are many different options for the type and size of fixtures. There are also many different styles of covers available for recessed fixtures. The most commonly used recessed fluorescent fixture is called a troffer and it allows assess through a hinged assembly for easy access. Some recessed fluorescent fixtures can be set up with a battery backup for use in an emergency. Keep in mind that this will result in less output from the light, but ample for safety reasons in the event of a power outage. When you need specific lighting, such as in an office setting, you should talk to a lighting professional in order to find out what the best possible combination of lighting will be for your situation. Depending on the size of the area, the amount of natural light and how many people will use the area, the lighting requirements will vary. A lighting designer is your best advocate when it comes to saving money and increasing efficiency with lighting design. If possible, your recessed fluorescent fixtures should be installed and fully tested prior to the rest of the room being finished. It is probably a good idea to have the walls painted and furniture in place in order to see how everything will flow together with the new lighting.
