From wikipedia:
A filament lamp obeys ohms law within certain limits of voltage and current so does that mean it is an ohmic device?
Also from wikipedia:
Sounds reasonable as well.
Im inclined to believe the second quote since there are only a few values that the filament lamp will be ohmic where as there are a lot more it won't.
Would appreciate a definite answer though
Metallic and nonmetallic resistors are called ohmic devices, because they obey Ohm's Law, at least within certain limits of voltage and current

Also from wikipedia:
A light bulb is an example of a non-Ohmic device because the current flow heats the bulb, and its resistance depends on temperature.
