Jim Horne notes:

21-Across: Grid error. KLEIGLIGHTS should be KLIEGLIGHTS.

Klieg lights are named after German-born American brothers and inventors, John H. Kliegl (1869–1959) and Anton T. Kliegl (1872–1927). In 1896, they founded the Kliegl Brothers Universal Electric Stage Lighting Company in New York City. Around 1911, they developed a powerful, intense carbon-arc lamp designed to simulate daylight for indoor movie filming
