Criminal Sentence 447: First Sentence, First Impression

Contained within the first sentence of an otherwise excellent novel:

"...a parking lot florescent..."

This snippet describes a light in a parking lot. I know that it's odd to stick a "u" in there, but "u" know it's necessary:

"fluorescent"

By the way, "florescence" means "the act, state, or period of flowering; bloom," according to dictionary.com.
