Fluorescent light bulbs flicker because of fluctuations in the electrical current flowing through the bulb. This can be caused by issues with the bulb itself, the ballast, or the electrical connection.
A fluorescent tube will flicker is the temperature is cold or the fixture has a bad ground to the electrical system.
Compact fluorescent bulbs may flicker due to issues with the ballast, which regulates the flow of electricity to the bulb. When the ballast is faulty or incompatible with the bulb, it can cause flickering.
Fluorescent lights flicker because they rely on a ballast to regulate the flow of electricity. If the ballast is faulty or the light bulb is reaching the end of its lifespan, it can cause the light to flicker.
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.

Fluorescent light bulbs use less electricity for the amount of light produced.
Fluorescent bulbs contain a gaseous mixture that emits light when electricity passes through it. The waves you see are actually the alternating current (AC) switching on and off at a high frequency (typically 60Hz in the US), causing the light to flicker rapidly, which can create the appearance of waves.
LED fluorescent light bulbs have several benefits over traditional fluorescent light bulbs. They are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, produce less heat, and are more environmentally friendly due to their lower mercury content.

Fluorescent lights may hum due to the vibration of the internal components, such as the ballast or the bulbs. Flickering can be caused by a faulty starter or ballast, inadequate power supply, or aging bulbs. Regular maintenance and replacing faulty parts can help reduce these issues.
Fluorescent light bulbs are available in various sizes, including T5, T8, and T12.
