SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the measurement of 26 ohms displayed by an ohmmeter in a circuit involving two bulbs and a fuse. Each bulb has a resistance of 26 ohms, while the fuse contributes a negligible resistance of 0.3 ohms. The measurement is taken between two black wires, indicating that the total resistance observed is primarily due to the bulbs. The mention of "DEMO" suggests that the circuit may be set up for demonstration purposes, which could affect the readings.
