Very interesting process. You do have to wonder how "green" these bulbs actually are after seeing the huge amount of energy that clearly goes into making them.
The process looks very efficient. You would have to look at many variables; watts in, lumens out, useable spectrum, lifespan of the bulb, lifespan of the ballast, resources consumed for manufacturing the ballasts, resources for packaging, transportation, etc. I haven't researched personally, but I would guess fluorescents are "greener" in long run due to their efficiency during operation and the longevity of the bulbs. Good question though. Im sure you won't find an complete answer on the box.
Too bad, Fluorescent Tubes won't be around much longer, AS LED be replaced them as it doesn't need Mercury or ballast, and LED lasts longer and brighter. And a lot cheap to run.

Informative as usual. Thanks for the upload!
This is the Narva plant in Brand-Erbisdorf, Mittelsachsen, Germany.

i love playing with mercury. it has like zero viscosity.
Thankyou
Such fluorescent lamp went in factory?
one of the fluro lights is out at the end.
a full bucket of Mercury would be SO heavy!
anyone else keep looking up at a fluro light during the video?
Ultraviolet, actually.
only a little mercury in a tube, but what if you need to dispose of thousands of tubes - enough mercury to pollute 1 square kilometer of land
so send them to Africa.

How Fluorescent Tubes Are Made...capitalism.
