You can’t make this stuff up. Lucas actually mentioned darkness in this 1934 ad. 😂 Interesting that the inspection light could be plugged into a Lucas instrument panel. Whether or not it worked….

Lucas invented intermittent wipers.
And intermittent ignition, intermittent headlights...

I like how they say that the battery master switch can be used in case of fire. That’s a bit like closing the barn door after the cow got out.

I'll admit that we never had any issues with our Jag or RR. I'm wondering if the Prince of Darkness moniker is because the system doesn't age well or doesn't overcome "tinkering" very well?

I have no issues with Lucas. You can rebuild their switches! Lucas makes avionics and planes aren't falling out of the sky. The jokes sure are fun though.
Marelli wishes they knew as much about electrics as Lucas.

I’m sure it just comes from cars that have had hamfisted repairs or neglect and the blame gets shifted. The jokes are fun though.
