Fiat Lux

Fiat Lux was a very obscure British 80s band, quite similar to Depeche Mode. Today, it has a small but dedicated following, although it never enjoyed much mainstream success. It was formed in Yorkshire, England in 1982. They had a slightly popular single named 'Secrets', which many people today might recognize without being able to name the band. They also released three other singles and a mini-LP called 'Hired History'. They enjoyed more success away from the UK touring Europe with the likes of Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, Blancmange, The Sound and Level 42. A number four chart position was achieved in New Zealand with 'Secrets' and 'Blue Emotion' was a top ten single in countries in Europe. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_there_be_light)
