Let's simplify the expression step by step:

1. Start with the first part:
\[
280 - 540 = -260
\]
2. Add 150:
\[
-260 + 150 = -110
\]
3. Add 8:
\[
-110 + 8 = -102
\]
4. Add 2280:
\[
-102 + 2280 = 2178
\]
5. Subtract 540:
\[
2178 - 540 = 1638
\]
6. Add 150:
\[
1638 + 150 = 1788
\]
7. Add 8:
\[
1788 + 8 = 1796
\]
8. Finally, add 2:
\[
1796 + 2 = 1798
\]

So, the final result is:
\[
\boxed{1798}
\]
