  1. Fluorescent light - Vapor discharge lighting in which the inside of the lamp's jacket is coated with phosphors.  These add a continuous spectrum to the single emission spectra.  The color recorded on film is difficult to predict, depending on the type and age of lamp, but is generally greenish.
