My brief return to the halls of the Arguing in Circles Cathedral is justified... [Well, at least briefly and in my own eyes, besides, I could not resist it]
But it is not to argue, merely to clarify something in your post in re: The Prince of Darkness. This is somehing widely known in the British sports cars industry, for a long time.
Your post seems to be merely an error of translation and following that just simple confusion.
The scholars authorized by ... King James I to translate the Bible into current English did not use the original Hebrew texts, but used versions translated ... largely by St. Jerome in the fourth century. Jerome had mistranslated the Hebraic metaphor, "Day star, son of the Dawn," as "Lucifer," and over the centuries a metamorphosis took place. Lucifer the morning star became a disobedient angel, cast out of heaven to rule eternally in hell. Theologians, writers, and poets interwove the myth with the doctrine of the Fall, and in Christian tradition Lucifer is now the same as Satan, the Devil, and --- ironically --- the Prince of Darkness.
While a divine connection may exists, the real "Prince of Darkness" is LUCAS, (the British electrical auto equipment manufacturer, as in "headlights and such").
Some examples: (ROFL)
"The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
"Why do the English drink warm beer? Lucas made the refrigerators, too."

As for...
So "Lucifer" is nothing more than an ancient Latin name for the morning star, the bringer of light. That can be confusing for Christians who identify Christ himself as the morning star, a term used as a central theme in many Christian sermons.
I wonder if there may be a "divine connection", to what happened to Lucent (The stock)
Ever heard of the "Dark Suckers Theory" ? (by Bell Laboratories aka Lucent)
