'AGIPITO FLORES' IS THE ORIGINAL INVENTOR OF THE fluorescent....He is a Filipino...and his invention buy the General Electric company known as "GE"...
The fluorescent lamp was invented by American engineer and inventor, George Inman, who developed the first commercially viable fluorescent lamp in 1934.
The real fluorescent lamp was invented by the German-American engineer and inventor, Peter Cooper Hewitt, in 1901. His lamp used an electric arc in mercury vapor to produce a blue-green light, which was an early precursor to modern fluorescent lighting.
Fluorescent materials absorb and then re-emit light at a longer wavelength, causing them to glow. This process is called fluorescence and is due to the energy absorbed by the material exciting its electrons to higher energy levels, which then release that energy as light when returning to their original state.
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.
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.

According to my teacher, the original inventor is Armando Malite. Armalite got its name from the inventor.
The fluorescent lamp was invented by American engineer and inventor, George Inman, who developed the first commercially viable fluorescent lamp in 1934.
Guglielmo Marconi created the induction radio and coil, but is considered to be a contributor to the development of fluorescent lighting rather than its inventor. A number of other scientists and researchers also worked on fluorescent lighting but it was not till 1934 that physicist Arthur Compton demonstrated a commercially-viable lamp. The Filipino inventor Agapito Flores independently developed a practical fluorescent bulb at roughly the same time but didn't make his work public until after Compton's.

Fluorescent Lamp InventorMany Filipinos acknowledge Agapito Flores as the inventor of the fluorescent lamp, which is the most widely used source of lighting in the world today. The fluorescent lamp reportedly got its name from Flores. Written articles about Flores said he was born in Bantayan Island in Cebu. The fluorescent lamp, however, was not invented in a particular year. It was the product of 79 years of the development of the lighting method that began with the invention of the electric light bulb by Thomas Edison.Among the other inventors who claimed credit for developing the fluorescent lamp were French physicist A. E. Becquerel (1867), Nikola Tesla, Albert Hall (1927), Mark Winsor and Edmund Germer. French inventor Andre Claude was recognized for developing the fluorescent tubular lighting systems. Yet, he was not officially recognized as the inventor of fluorescent lamp. It was reported that the General Electric and Westinghouse obtained Claude's patent rights and developed the fluorescent lamp that we know today.According to Filipino scientists, fluorescent lamp was not named after Flores. The term fluorescence first cropped up as early as 1852 when English mathematician-physicist George Gabriel Stokes discovered a luminous material called "fluorspar", which he coined with "escence". The National Academy of Science and Technology also dismissed Flores being the inventor of fluorescent lamp as a myth. "No scientific report, no valid statement, no rigorous documents can be used to credit Flores for the discovery of the fluorescent lamp. We have tried to correct this misconception, but the media (for one) and our textbooks (for another) keep using the Flores example," a Filipino scientist wrote in her column at the Philippine Daily Inquirer.The fluorescent lamps were introduced into the U.S. market in 1938. Still, Filipinos recognize Agapito Flores as the inventor of the product that illuminated the world.- A.
