The electrical relay
A relay electromagnetic switch operated solenoid.f. The fluorescent
powder the inside the glass tube very sensitive ultraviolet rays
and converts this radiation into visible light.16.Baisc Electrical Installation Work

almost all the visible light from fluorescent tube
comes from the phosphors
