Fluorescent lights use electricity to excite mercury vapor. This produces ultraviolet light that causes a phosphor coating inside the bulb to glow.

荧光灯用电激发水银蒸气。这会生成紫外线光而使得镀在灯管内壁上的磷涂层发光.

Excited by the current, the mercury atoms emit ultraviolet light, which bombards the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube.

被电流激活后，汞原子发出紫外光，轰击被覆在电子管内部的磷。

Generally LED bulbs use either a combination red, green and blue LEDs to create white light, or they use a phosphor coating (more common) in combination with a blue LED.

ENGADGET

These can be made to emit white light by coating the device with a phosphor compound that absorbs part of the blue light and re-emits it as yellow.
