Fluorescent lamp phosphors convert the ultraviolet emission of a rare-gas/mercury discharge plasma into visible (white) light. The phosphor is responsible for nearly all the visible light produced by the lamp with the visible mercury lines contributing only a few percent to the total lamp light output. This article reviews fluorescent lamp phosphors that are used in general purpose illumination.
