		Germer received the Frank P. Brown Medal from the Franklin Institute in 1954 for his fluorescent lamp.
		Edmund Germer's development of the fluorescent lamp and the high-pressure mercury-vapor lamp significantly increased the efficiency of lighting devices, allowing for more economical lighting while producing less heat than incandescent light.
		Germer was born in Berlin, the son of an accountant.

	Fluorescent lamp
		It remained to Edmund Germer and coworkers to propose in 1926 to coat the tube with fluorescent powder which converts ultraviolet light emitted by a rare gas into better spectrally distributed light (also bringing high pressure of the gas at the same time).
		General Electrics later bought Germer's patent and under the impulsion of George Inman brought the fluorescent lamp to wide commercial use in 1938.
		A fluorescent light bulb is filled with a gas containing argon and mercury vapor, sometimes referred to as plasma when electrified.

	Fluorescent lamp - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		This lamp had some applications in photography where color was not yet an issue, thanks to its much higher efficiency than incandescent lamps.
		Edmund Germer and coworkers proposed in 1926 to increase the operating pressure within the tube and to coat the tube with fluorescent powder which converts ultraviolet light emitted by a rare gas into more uniformly white-colored light.
		The main principle of fluorescent tube operation is based around inelastic scattering of electrons.

		The man recognized today as the inventor of the fluorescent lamp was Edmund Germer.
		Germer and some of his coworkers were able to increase the operating pressure with the fluorescent tube and also proposed coating the inside of the tube with a fluorescent powder that would convert ultraviolet light into a more normal and uniform white colored light.
		Germer’s patent and was able under the direction of George Inman to bring the fluorescent lamp into commercial applications.

		To conquer the unpleasant color of the mercury vapor lights, several scientists worked to combine Becquerel's fluorescence and Hewitt's mercury vapor lamps.
		In 1927, the first fluorescent lamp was built in Germany by Edmund Germer and a race developed for first patent rights for a commercial version.
		General Electric won the race, having bought Germer's original patent, and produced the first practical and viable fluorescent lamp.

		Edmund Germer further developed this type of bulb and lamp in 1934, which enabled the unit to be smaller and emanate a more powerful light.
		Edmund Germer is thought by many to be the inventor of fluorescent lighting, but in reality it was Peter Cooper Hewitt whom first invented this amazing light source.
		Fluorescent lighting was further developed by George Inman and Richard Thayer; whom created the commercial fluorescent lamp.

		They will claim that Edmund Germer made a more significant Flourescent Lamp.
		I am just thinking, how did Edmund Germer named it as "Flourescent Lamp".
		If Edmud Germer really made a more significant Flourescent lamp, He should named it as "Germerscent Lamp".

		Friedrich Meyer, Hans Spanner, and Edmund Germer patented a fluorescent lamp in 1927.
		It should be noted that General Electric bought the patent rights to Edmund Germer's earlier patent.
		According to The GE Fluorescent Lamp Pioneers, "On Oct 14, 1941 U.S. Patent No. 2,259,040 was issued to George E. Inman; the filing date was Apr 22, 1936.

		Clearly, better efficiency could provide enormous savings and reduce the emissions of toxic waste and greenhouse gases produced by power plants.
		A partial solution came during the 1920s, when H. Edmund Germer invented a practical fluorescent lamp; Germer joined Edison in the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1996 (Edison was the very first inductee, in 1973).
		Fluorescent lights are four times as efficient as incandescents, which is why most commercial and industrial buildings use them.

		Confronted with a potentially embarrassing quote, I did what any right-minded editor would do: go to the internet.
		This is what I dug up: according to the National Inventors Hall of Fame (established by the US Patent Office in 1973 and the National Council of Intellectual Property Law Associations), the fluorescent lamp was invented by Edmund Germer, who was born in Berlin (and not the Philippines).
