The fluorescent effect is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. This phenomenon occurs when the absorbed radiation is re-emitted at a longer wavelength, usually in the visible range, resulting in a glow or fluorescence. Fluorescent materials are widely used in various applications, including fluorescent lighting, biological imaging, and security features.
Compact fluorescent lights are smaller versions of traditional fluorescent light bulbs that are designed to fit into standard light fixtures. They are more energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent light globes typically refer to the larger, tube-shaped fluorescent bulbs that are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
The fluorescent lamp was invented by American engineer and inventor, George Inman, who developed the first commercially viable fluorescent lamp in 1934.
Fluorescent material absorbs ultraviolet radiation and re-emits it at longer visible wavelengths, producing a glowing effect. This phenomenon is called fluorescence, where the material appears to radiate light of a different color than the ultraviolet light initially absorbed.
Fluorescent materials are typically illuminated with ultraviolet (UV) light. When UV light is absorbed by the fluorescent material, it re-emits visible light at a longer wavelength, creating the characteristic fluorescence.
The average lifespan of a compact fluorescent bulb is typically around 8,000 to 10,000 hours.
Its good for it
To make a fluorescent blue color, you can mix a bright blue pigment with a fluorescent additive like fluorescent blue paint or powder. This will give your blue color a vibrant glow under UV light. Experiment with different ratios to achieve the desired fluorescent effect.
No. You must begin with fluorescent pigment.
Yes, it usually happens when the tubes are cold. As the fixture and tubes warm up this effect disappears.
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.
Sunlight should make it grow. Flourescent wont do anything.
Yes, lamp is to fluorescent
Fluorescent colors are generally brighter than neon colors. Fluorescent colors appear to glow under ultraviolet light, while neon colors are bright and highly saturated but do not have the same glowing effect.
Fluorescent lights have that effect on many people, including myself. There are many reasons for this. For example, fluorescent lights can trigger serious migraines in some people, and can provoke nausea, dizziness, and fatigue, to name a few symptoms. There is also something called photophobia which refers to general intolerance of bright lights. I suggest seeing a doctor.

Daylight Fluorescent lamps have bluish-white illuminance, whereas coolwhite fluorescent lamps have yellowish-white illuminance.
Compact fluorescent bulbs can introduce electrical noise that may interfere with the operation of computers, causing flickering screens or device malfunctions. Additionally, some compact fluorescent bulbs emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation that may degrade plastics and other components in a computer over time.
