The standard caveat applies. Fluorescent lamps are called such because the powder coating inside the tube "fluoresces" when excited by UV (black) light, created by the ionized gas in the tube. Ultra Violet light will, over time, bleach the colors out of just about anything.

Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
