fluorescent lighting
Buzzing office illumination
Fluorescent lighting uses gas-filled tubes that produce light when electricity excites mercury vapor, causing a phosphor coating to glow.
It's more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs but casts a flat, slightly bluish light often associated with offices, schools, and institutional spaces: The fluorescent lighting made everyone look washed out.
