Physics Experimental Seminar on Electromagnetism
When brought near to a plasma ball, the mercury atoms inside the CFL were excited. They emitted UV which further excited the phosphor coating which then emitted visible light
A light bulb inside a microwave oven was made to light up even though the tungsten filament inside was broken.
