Back in about 1988 or 89 I ordered a fluorescent lamp assembly for an A320 it consisted of a ballast unit and a pair of lamp holders on a metal frame about 24" long. Somebody had decided that folding the metal frame would make it easier to store and transport. It also made it much easier to scrap because there was no way to get it straight again. I think, then, they were comfortably over £1,000.
