Fluorescent Fitting. How Long Has This Been Going On?

I was relamping some old high level 5 foot fluorescent fittings today. The Thorn Popular Pack type of old. They were fitted with Atlas tubes. So, I was wondering, what is the oldest working fluorescent fitting that you have come across with a heavy wound magnetic ballast and fluorescent starter unit?

    I seem to recall these also needed special tube.



    That sounds familiar - an earth 'stripe' along the length of the tube perhaps?

    Yes, but normally only needed in adverse circumstances such as lamps mounted on wood or plastic without any nearby earthed metalwork.
