On my '90 Accord, on the dash there is a light labeled 'Brake', and a light
labeled 'Brake Lamp'.

If it's your 'Brake' light, my first guess would be that your brake fluid
is low. I had this light go on in my car when the brakes pads were
reaching the end of their service life, and the fluid was low because more
fluid is being used to push the pads further. The fluid was actually a
little bit above the low level, so the sensor was a little oversensitive.

If it's your 'Brake Lamp' light, then I would check all rear brake lights.
On my car there are 5 rear brake lights. You talk like you only have one,
so I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing.

You mentioned your brake pedal going to the floor. My first guess is that
you have a bad seal in your brake master cylinder. Seal failure most
commonly occurs in hot weather when the brake fluid is thinnest, and can
leak past the seal easiest. I had that problem and replaced the master
cylinder at around 150,000 miles. This is probably a second problem that
has nothing to do with your brake light problem.
