What is fluorescent?

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of luminescence. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation. The most striking example of fluorescence occurs when the absorbed radiation is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, and thus invisible to the human eye, while the emitted light is in the visible region, which gives the fluorescent substance a distinct color that can be seen only when exposed to UV light. Fluorescent lighting is commonly used in homes, offices, and commercial spaces because it is more energy-efficient than incandescent lighting.

What other technologies are related to fluorescent?

fluorescent Competitor Technologies

HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lamps are a competitor to fluorescent lighting because they both serve the same purpose of providing illumination, but use different technologies. HID lamps are known for their high light output and efficiency, which can be seen as an alternative or replacement for fluorescent lighting in many applications.
