If a fluorescent light bulb breaks, first ensure your safety by wearing gloves and using a damp paper towel to pick up small glass pieces. Ventilate the area by opening windows and turning off the heating or air conditioning. Dispose of the broken bulb according to local regulations, as fluorescent bulbs contain Mercury. Finally, wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning up.
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb
Fluorescent is more efficient. Incandescent bulbs should not be used any more, except for some special purposes (mainly where they keep something warm).

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.
The light-producing element in a fluorescent bulb is mercury vapor. When electricity passes through the gas, it emits ultraviolet light that then excites the phosphor coating inside the bulb, causing it to emit visible light.
