It is an artificial light that works by using electricity to ionize Mercury into vapor. Because the light produced is more ultraviolet, the inside of the tube is coated with white phosphors to make the light more visible to the human eye.

Fluorescent lights are more efficient than incandescent bulbs, and they are now most commonly in the form of CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs which screw into ordinary incandescent light sockets. Even the traditional fluorescent fixtures are more efficient these days than over 20 years ago, since there are now solid state ballasts which don't use a bulky transformer.

A fluorescent light diffuser is the cover that protects the tubes from accidentally getting hit, which could break the tubes. In some cases the light is softened by a diffuser so that people are not affected by the glare that comes off of the lamps. In industrial applications the diffuser is just a metal screen for mechanical protection.
