   Everybody knows what a light-emitting diode is.

   It's fairly common knowledge that incandescent lightbulbs are light-emitting resistors.

   I briefly wondered if there's such a thing as a light-emitting capacitor. Then I remembered that yes, yes there is: a cathode ray tube.

     @argv_minus_one Every electronic element is light emitting, if you use it wrong enough.

     @argv_minus_one Every component is light emitting with enough voltage.
