Making a 60W light bulb glow from a distance of 2m does not impress me.
If the distance were a kilometer, then it could be really considered a
breakthrough, IMHO.
One of my mentors (G3ERN SK) used to light an eight-foot fluorescent tube by 
touching it to the top of his 160m mobile whip.  He then walked around the yard 
and the tube stayed lit.

That reminds me of the good ol' times when I was young and I was experimenting with my first Tx using the mythical 813 tube (or valve, if you prefer). Tuning was accomplished by setting the controls for the max brightness of a fluorescent lamp hand-held at about 1m from the plate circuitry...
