Wait...all matter resists current, and all matter can be forced to
emit light, so any item is a 'Light-emmitting resistor'.
I used to know the speed of light in Furlongs
per Fortnight.
The attoparsec/microfortnight is remarkably close to the inch/second.
Quite useful for quoting tape speeds :-)
If you wish to piss off the counter help at your local parts
shop... ask for a 'Light-Emitting Resistor'. Hardware stores and
markets have them too.
You mean a light-emitting non-linear load?
