Explanation:

Fluorescent lighting is a highly versatile type of lighting that you most likely encounter at the office, school, or grocery store. It's known for energy efficiency compared to incandescent and halogen light bulbs, and a lower price compared to LEDs.

There are several different types of fluorescent lighting including linear fluorescent tubes, fluorescent bent tubes, fluorescent circline tubes, and CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps).

We're focusing on linear fluorescent tubes throughout this post because of their popularity. Fluorescent tubes are commonly used in overhead fixtures, like troffers, in all types of commercial buildings.
