I just dismantled two fixtures like this i got from work. (I work in a warehouse) I also happened to be reading on here about microwaves having a pink ceramic looking substance called berrilium oxide. The two light fixtures I got had a pink ceramic fixture that the large bulb screwed into. Not sure if it is the same stuff, but I'd be safe and avoid smashing and breathing it... If you have a big load of them I'd say the transformers inside and the cast aluminum shells along with the shades would be a great score!
