Spectrum with peaks labelled taken with an Ocean Optics HR2000 spectrometer [1] of ambient light provided by fluorescent lamps. Spectrum taken by me (apparently en:user:Deglr6328). The spectrometer appears to be about ~.6 to .8 nm off judging from the location of known peaks. Interpretation of spectral peaks has been done using the NIST database of spectra for mercury [2], a paper on the photoluminescent properties of Eu:Y2O3 [3], also here [4] and here[5], and an article on fluorescent light phosphors [6]. This spectrum is not calibrated for intensity.

18 | 693.7 | likely europium in Eu+3:Y2O3 | ~693 |
19 | 707 and 709 | likely europium in Eu+3:Y2O3 | ~707 and ~709 |
20 | 712.3 | likely europium in Eu+3:Y2O3 | ~712 |
21 | 760.0 | likely argon | 758.9315 or 763.5106 (??) |
