Why did my CFL bulb glow when touched?
We have a CFL twisted bulb in a lamp. My father went to turn it on one morning and was feeling around for the lamp. He hit the bulb with his hand and it emitted a medium to dim blueish glow. He removed his hand from the bulb and re-applied it. It glowed again. This is a 2700K bulb so it should be yellowish light when on... Any idea how or why the bulb would glow when my dad touched it?
