Apart from no, your question has no simple answer. Fluorescent lamps need a few kV to start them and have a 90V drop when running. All of that is provided by the "gear" needed to run a fluorescent lamp. In a compact fluorescent (CFL), the gear is inside the cap.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
Fluorescent light bulbs can not be connected to a constant voltage power supply, or they will self destruct. They must use a ballast in order for this not happening. This way they can operate under 430 mA, with a drop of 100 volts. The larger the bulb, the more voltage needed (going all the way up to 1.5 A).
Assuming that the voltage rating of the lamp matches the rated secondary voltage of the transformer, the lamp will operate at its rated power.
The energy saving light-bulbs are usually fluorescent. Neon is a type of fluorescent light bulb.

fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
The flourescent light bulb was invented in 1827.
The long thin light bulb is called a fluorescent tube or a fluorescent light bulb. It is commonly used in commercial buildings, offices, and schools for general lighting purposes.
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.
The swirly light bulb is called a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). It is a type of energy-efficient light bulb that produces light by using electricity to excite the gas inside the bulb to create illumination.
By far the hottest of the two light sources is the light bulb.
