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 remember in the 80s, my headmaster changing the tubes in the ancient fittings in the 4th year classroom. He had some bayonet to bipin adaptors.


    The building was ex RAF from ww2, so the fittings with bayonet holders may well have been original. They were 5ft, not sure of wattage but probably 80... and absolutely enormous even by 1980s standards, they looked like aircraft carriers on chains!
