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?

    Fluorescents are actually easier to start and run than most believe. We used to get criticised carrying them round power station sites during school visits. If you held them near vertical under the overhead substation connections, you could get them to light from where you were holding them to the top, like a Star Wars “light sabre”. The guides couldn’t explain to the kids why they lit.
