Fluorescent tubes



	Hey Garry, all,

	The tubes use a coating that, as Terry stated, emits light in the
visible range when exposed to ultraviolet light produced from the mercury
vapor(I think) that is inside the tubes.  Maybe what you are looking for
are phosphors.  They produce visible light when exposed to electrons.
