Tubelight is the generalised name for Fluorescent Tubular Lamp (FTL). This is a linear lamp. Available in different diameters (16mm, 26mm, 38mm) CFL is the compact version of the same (Compact Fluorescent Lamp).

Because of the long size of the FTL lamp, there is very less or practically no shadow. This lamp needs an external device known as choke or ballast (made of copper or aluminium) and a starter. The set of ballast and starter is also known as control gear. After the advent of electronics in lighting, electronic ballast is used and the need of starter is eliminated.

CFL also needs control gear to work. Some work on both electronic as well as electromagnetic (copper/aluminium ballast and starter ) control controlgear, others only on electronic controlgear. This controlgear can be integral or nonintegral. The lamp which has the controlgear incorporated in the same is called integral and the lamp where the controlgear is installed beside the lamp is called non integral. CFL is available in various sizes, shapes and wattages.

CFL lamps are marketed by the lighting companies as a power saving lamp. Actually these are  less efficient than FTL lamps though more efficient than the GLS lamps (ordinary tungsten filament lamps).

Though, now, with the advent of LED lights the uses of both these light sources is decreasing. Although some types of FTL lamps are no less in performance compared to LEDs.
