Extra landing fees if the runway lights are needed?

Just a quick question for everyone.

Has anyone else been to an airfield that doubles it's landing fees if you ask for the landing lights to be turned on?

I finally saw confirmation that my homefield does and I'm horrified and kicking up a stink about it. Is this normal? I've never seen it before, but not having been to every airfield on the planet I'm not sure if this is isolated or not.

Would AOPA be interested in this? I think it's a safety issue, in the same way that people shouldn't be charged for wx diverts, as if they need to act, the financial aspects should never ever be thought of.
