Fluorescent �Can be shaped in tubes like in our classroom. �Electricity provides heat that causes low pressure mercury vapor within the lamp to produce ultraviolet radiation. This causes a phosphor coating along the inside of the tube to radiate light. � 3 sizes - the smaller the size, the more efficient T 12 (40 watts) T 8 (32 watts) T 5 (21 watts)
