LEDs are solid-state lights that use light-emitting diodes as the source of light. They are semiconductors that glow when electricity is applied to it.
The efficancy of LED package & products depends on many factors, which range from electrical effciency to internal quantum efficiency to spectral efficiency.

The luminous efficacy of a fluorescent light bulb can exceed 100 lumens per watt, this is four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.
A typical 100 watt tungsten filament incandescent lamp may convert only 5% of its power input to visible white light, while typical fluorescent lamps convert about 22% of the power input to visible white light.
it is plasma , gas and liquid
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.
Fluorescent tubes last longer and supply more light per watt of energy consumed than an incandescent bulb.
An Energy Star qualified compact fluorescent light bulb can save you around $30 over it's lifetime, paying for its self in about 6 months.

EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
It uses modern technology to give better efficiency. A filament bulb has an incandescent (hot) piece of tungsten wire, which produces light but also heat. A fluorescent bulb uses a different process to produce more light and less heat.

In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance. When current flows through it, it heats up so much that it glows - it emits light.Due to their lousy efficiency, these light bulbs should be discarded, in favor of fluorescent light bulbs or LED light bulbs.In an old-fashioned light bulb, the part that emits light is a resistance.

The light spectrum from an incandescent (a bulb) is closer to the spectrum of the sun than what comes from a fluorescent.
The flourescent light bulb was invented in 1827.
You have a failing bulb or ballast.
1857
The energy saving light-bulbs are usually fluorescent. Neon is a type of fluorescent light bulb.
fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
Light in fluorescent bulbs occurs when electricity excites the mercury vapor inside the tubular glass bulb.
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.
