Best Answer

Not sure what you mean by an F12 bulb. The number on a bulb F12T12 means 12 watt fluorescent and the T12 means 12 units of 1/8" diameter. So a T12 is 1.5 inches in diameter.

I think that you may be confusing fluorescent tubes with neon tubes. Fluorescent tubes use a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp which is in a limited spectrum.
