There is no single length. In the US, 4- and 8-foot tubes are commonly used in commercial applications while 2- and 4-foot tubes are made for home fixtures. However there are many other sizes available for specialty and decorative fixtures.
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.
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.
Fluorescent tube lighting can be purchased at any do-it-yourself retail outlet such as Homebase. Alternatively you may purchase some online with a more varied size and colours from websites such as Amazon.
- S2 starters for ignition of low-voltage fluorescent TL lamps and series/single application in high voltage for lower wattages (4 - 22W) - S10 starters for ignition of high voltage fluorescent TL lamps for wide range of wattages (4 - 65W)
To accurately measure the length of a fluorescent tube, use a measuring tape or ruler to measure from one end of the tube to the other end in a straight line. Make sure to measure from the outer edge of each end cap for precise measurement.

To replace a LED fluorescent tube, follow these steps: Turn off the power to the fixture. Remove the existing fluorescent tube by twisting and pulling it out. Insert the new LED tube into the fixture, ensuring it is securely in place. Turn the power back on to test the new LED tube.
Argon gas by itself does not produce a specific color in a fluorescent tube. It is typically used as an inert gas filler in fluorescent tubes to prevent degradation of the electrodes and enhance the performance of the tube. The color produced in a fluorescent tube is usually due to the phosphor coating on the interior of the tube, which emits visible light when excited by ultraviolet radiation emitted from the tube's gas discharge.
LED fluorescent tube lights have several advantages over traditional fluorescent tube lights. They are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, produce less heat, and are more environmentally friendly due to their lower mercury content. Additionally, LED lights offer better color rendering and do not flicker like traditional fluorescent lights.

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.

To change a fluorescent tube, first turn off the power to the fixture. Then, gently twist and remove the old tube from its sockets. Insert the new tube by aligning the pins with the sockets and twisting it into place. Finally, turn the power back on to test the new tube.
If it's fluorescent, no.
Usually it's mercury vapor.
To replace a fluorescent tube with an LED in your lighting fixture, first turn off the power to the fixture. Then, remove the old fluorescent tube by twisting it out of the sockets. Next, insert the new LED tube into the sockets, making sure it is securely in place. Finally, turn the power back on and test the new LED tube to ensure it is working properly.
