A four tube fluorescent luminaire is just 4 separate fluorescent lamp circuits in one fitting.
Look up 'how things work' etc to see a fluorescent lamp circuit.
A typical 4-foot fluorescent T-12 light tube produces around 2,300 to 2,600 lumens of light output.
A 4-tube T8 fluorescent fixture typically uses about 96 watts, assuming each T8 tube consumes around 24 watts. However, the actual power consumption can vary slightly based on the ballast and the specific tubes used. It's important to check the specifications of the fixture and the tubes for precise wattage.
The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.
A fluorescent tube will flicker is the temperature is cold or the fixture has a bad ground to the electrical system.
Yes, a two-tube fluorescent fixture can be wired to have only one tube. You would need to disconnect the ballast and sockets for the tube you are removing, and then rewire the remaining tube to the power source. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult an electrician if needed.
A typical 4-foot fluorescent T-12 light tube produces around 2,300 to 2,600 lumens of light output.
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.

Conduction works quite well in the gas inside a fluorescent light tube.
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.
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 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.
