A variety of light bulbs contain mercury. Mercury is important in lighting since it helps to the efficiency and longevity of the bulbs. In general, fluorescent and other mercury-added bulbs are more energy efficient and last longer than incandescent and other comparable lights.
The choke's job is to create a very high voltage between the filaments at first (across the two ends of the tube light). The choke again delivers a low voltage after the gas in the tube is ionized. A choke is a wire coil. Mercury vapor fills fluorescent tubes and lights.
you know every human being has their way of living and some are weird, that might be one of ours, which we don't see ourselves but someone else. so, what I'm saying is that, who cares!!
