A 4-tube fluorescent light contains four fluorescent tubes connected to a ballast that regulates the electrical current flowing through the tubes. When the light switch is turned on, the ballast sends high voltage to the tubes to ionize the gas inside. This ionization process produces ultraviolet light, which then interacts with the phosphor coating inside each tube to produce visible light.
A typical 4-foot fluorescent T-12 light tube produces around 2,300 to 2,600 lumens of light output.
A fluorescent tube will flicker is the temperature is cold or the fixture has a bad ground to the electrical system.
The best replacement is a new fluorescent light tube of the right voltage and power.
Yes, a two-tube fluorescent fixture can be wired to have only one tube. You would need to disconnect the ballast and sockets for the tube you are removing, and then rewire the remaining tube to the power source. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult an electrician if needed.
It depends on the wattage of each T12 fluorescent tube. However, a typical T12 fluorescent tube is around 40 watts. So, if you have a total of 200 watts available, you could power five T12 fluorescent tubes.
A typical 4-foot fluorescent T-12 light tube produces around 2,300 to 2,600 lumens of light output.
Yes a black lamp tube will work in a fluorescent fixture. Guess you don't remember the early 70's.

Conduction works quite well in the gas inside a fluorescent light tube.
Argon gas by itself does not produce a specific color in a fluorescent tube. It is typically used as an inert gas filler in fluorescent tubes to prevent degradation of the electrodes and enhance the performance of the tube. The color produced in a fluorescent tube is usually due to the phosphor coating on the interior of the tube, which emits visible light when excited by ultraviolet radiation emitted from the tube's gas discharge.
Once started the fluorescent tube no longer needs the starter. In fact starters are designed to electrically "remove" themselves from the circuit when the fluorescent tube is conducting.

A pin based fluorescent light fixture is the type of fixture that takes fluorescent tubes. On each end of the fluorescent tubes there are contact pins. These pins are used to hold the tube in the fixture and to supply the voltage to the tube from the fixture's ballast.
No, not all fluorescent fixtures are suitable for black light tubes. Make sure the fixture is compatible with the specific type and size of black light tube you want to use, as some fixtures are designed for specific types of fluorescent tubes and may not work properly with others. It is recommended to check the fixture specifications to ensure compatibility before installing the black light tube.
