Lightbulb OT / "Omega Brite" light bulb

the name "Omega Brite" conjures up the image of a light bulb for me. Brite makes me think of light. and the greek letter omega is used as a symbol for ohms ... and sounds like "ohm" which is a unit measure of resistance.

the classic incandescent lightbulbs consisted of a tungsten filament which, creating high resistance when current was applied, emitted light.
