Does fluorescent bulbs contain blue light?

As in the same blue light from computers, smartphones and TVs? Same, or less?

Update:

I meant Emit blue light. Is it nearly as harmful as the blue light from computers?

    The bulbs EMIT light, they don't contain it.

    How much blue each bulb emits depends on the bulb design, some more, some less. The coating on fluorescent bulbs converts most of that blue to white, but how much remains depends on the coating.

    Phones, usually get light from LEDs, and again, amount of blue depends on the bulb design and coating. Ditto for TV if they are LED driven.

    That's what the gases inside MAKE.
