Reardon said a malfunction with a 150-watt spotlight used to illuminate the window probably caused the fire. The lamp might have been dislocated when the window was re-installed last week, Reardon said...
Eyre and McKellen share credit for devising a production full of startling visual imagery. McKellen casually snuffs out clumps of candles as he enumerates, deadpan, the friends and relatives he means to kill. Richard's brother, the Duke of Clarence, hunches in custody under a single, searing overhead lamp in a scene eerily suggestive of all interrogations that turn to torture. Most striking, the King's counselors sit at a long table and talk in bureaucratic euphemisms about bloody murders to be done someplace out of sight, while simultaneously the crimes are being enacted in full view of the audience...

Two small Silicon Valley companies unveiled an electronic bulb that uses radio waves to produce 20,000 hours of light, or about 14 years of average use. Intersource Technologies Inc. and Diablo Research Corp. said their new E-Lamp, which fits standard sockets and uses 75% less juice than ordinary bulbs, will cost from $10 for residential use to $20 for commercial applications when the bulbs become available next year...
Intersource estimates that a single E-Lamp could save homeowners anywhere from $50 to $100 in electric bills over a 15-to-20 year period. A standard 100-watt incandescent bulb costs 75 cents and burns as long as 250 days. With a standard bulb, only 5% of the electricity is converted to light -- the rest is wasted away as heat. "Until now there has been no substantial improvement in lighting since the time of Thomas Edison," boasts Intersource president Pierre Villere...

In 1986 GE executives toured Diablo Research and examined the E-Lamp project before Intersource obtained the marketing rights. But GE dismissed the idea that there was a market for a $20 light bulb...
