A fluorescent lamp or a fluorescent tube is a low pressure mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor which produces short-wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb to glow.
The bulbâs brightness, measured in lumens, and a disclosure for bulbs containing mercury will also be printed on each bulb. Incandescent Bulbs. Incandescent bulbs are the original type of bulb as designed by Thomas Edison. They produce light when an electric current passes through a filament and causes it to glow. Inexpensive and widely available, they are the most commonly used bulbs today, but are being replaced by more energy efficient choices.
