Perhaps you are asking about fluorescent lamp. This is an electrical device that uses a fluorescent bulb to give off light. The bulb is a recent invention designed to give energy savings in the residential area. The fluorescent bulb used to be used exclusively in industrial applications, but the new bulb is small and compact enough to be used in a home lamp.
Fluorescent lights use far less energy than any of the others listed.
The main difference is the diameter of the fluorescent bulb. The letter T designates the diameter in 1/8" increments. A T9 is 9/8" or 1 and 1/8". A T12 is 12/8" or 1 and 1/2". The CW stands for "cool white" which is in reference to the colour of the light output on a light spectrum chart.
A 120 volt table lamp with a 75 watt bulb will pull 0.625 amps. With a 100 watt bulb it will pull 0.833 amps. And with a modern fluorescent 13 watt bulb it will pull 0.108 amps.
In an incandescent lamp, it is called a filament. It is usually made out of Tungsten. The resistance in the filament causes it to heat up, and then glow. In a neon lamp it is plasma, which is an ionized gas. In a fluorescent bulb mercury vapor is ionized to produce UV radiation, that hits the phosphor coating on the outside of the bulb and that glows.
F17 on a fluorescent bulb packaging typically indicates the type of bulb and its wattage. In this case, "F17" refers to a T8 fluorescent bulb that operates at 17 watts.
EEdmund Germer (90% sure) made the first fluorescent light bulb

fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
No, the ballast's output is not matched to operate a fluorescent bulb.

The brightest compact fluorescent bulb is of over 100 lumens or higher outputs at higher drive currents.

In a fluorescent light bulb there is usually a drop of mercury. That mercury vaporizes as the bulb warms up and it becomes gaseous, enhancing the electron interaction through the bulb, making it brighter.

Yes, you can use a fluorescent bulb in a floor lamp as long as the bulb fits the lamp's socket and wattage requirements. Make sure to check the lamp's specifications to ensure compatibility and consider the lighting quality and intensity of the fluorescent bulb for your needs.
