How can i light a fluorescent bulb with battery?
Which type of battery do i need?
Which battery do i need?
Do i need a converter/transformer?
Do i need inverter to do DC to AC current?

How much voltage or current do i need to light that bulb?

That bulb is with 16Watt (Wallet current 220V)
The bulb looks like this:

Why that bulb in particular? Why not just get a small 5" or 10" tube type fluoro and use a DC->fluoro inverter module?

To run the bulb you have shown needs 220v AC (although it will probably run from 300v DC too).

Can you post the screenshot of that DC->fluoro inverter module?

I'm not going to google screenshots for you, but I have seen plenty of small modules to light fluoro bar tubes from 12vDC.

Google for "12v fluoro tube inverter module". :)
