A fluorescent lamp is a type of electric light that works by passing an electric current through a gas, which emits ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light then excites a phosphor coating on the inside of the glass tube, causing it to emit visible light. Fluorescent lamps are commonly used in various applications due to their energy efficiency and longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
