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?

    The guides couldn’t explain to the kids why they lit. 




    I suppose they could not explain why you need a larger gap between the high voltage  wires then LV ones either ?. (as it is the same reason)

    It is a bit worrying that no-one thought it necessary to fill in their knowledge gaps and find out.

    They also make quite good detectors of large RF fields as well - if you walk up to an HF  transmitter holding one and it lights in your hand, it is time to think about not getting that much closer.
