This is a fascinating technology. I don't have time to watch a 30-minute video at the moment, but I will say, at least in the state of California, fluorescent tubes are no longer being sold or made because of the Mercury used in the tubes.

My question is, with the existence of LEDs and how little power they take, why would this technology be made now? Or is this really just for an experiment?

He discusses this at the end. LEDs are simply better and cheaper today

Yep. It's more a tech archeology video.
