    with a sufficiently high voltage and current

    I think the best way to pull this off would be to vaporize the component and use that ion channel to start an arc and just go with an old fashioned arc lamp using the LED as a sacrificial part to start it. Lots of light, current and voltage.

    All LEDs can be light emitting, at least once.

    Then we move on to light emitting resistors. Especially the 15 ohm 1/4 watt variety. Ah, brown, green, black.

    After preliminary research in the area of light emitting resistors, the principle investigator's wife said that further experiments in the field of light emitting resistors must be moved to the garage.

      Ugh, I meant all diodes can be light emitting, at least once.

      Ah yes that sounds like fun. As a teenager I did a lot of experiments with car batteries and light emitting strips of aluminum foil. Great stuff!
